    I am a relatively new member of Boards. I love this site, have been viewing it for years but only recently actually signed up and started posting. One thing that has always struck me is the number of posts some people build up.

    My question is how much time do people devote to this site, mostly when I read a thread I can be sure to see the same people popping up at some point - on threads that cover many different subjects. Don't get me wrong, their input is always informed and well thought out but one person I worked out would need to post an average of 16 posts a day for the last 4 years to get to where their numbers are.

    I am intrigued to know how do people get such high post counts!!

    My Post count is directly proportional to Boredom in the workplace.

    back when boards was young most people that posted weren't absolute spamwhores, but that all changed and now you get many people throwing down 20-30 posts a day or something ridiculous like that

    I do actually remember when all this was fields.

    You had snow? Lucky. And got to walk to school?

    In my day we had raining fire instead of snow and had to crawl to school on our bellies because the government had banned walking on weekdays.

    Kids today don't know they're born!

    Any forum where the users have 40,000-50,000 plus posts are to be avoided like the plague. So far i do not think i have seen any posters on Boards with that sort of posts count.

    Never encountered him i think. On the plus side it seems like most of the people who post on here are normal and easy going.
