    I See people with 3000+ posts. Do you have lives outside boards or just sit on your laptop all day posting? Would you not do something more productive with your lives instead of posting on the internet which isnt real life?
    Boards is a great place to get information but 3000 posts like. Come on! Get off the laptop and do something in the real world!

    For some it's quantity over quality.

    For you, sadly, it's neither:
    If this chick was my own mother, id cum inside her with no rubber and have a son and a new brother at the same time and say that it aint mine.

    Seriously?

    And btw, that other thing you talked about doing in your previous posts in AH, well, you need to go to confession...

    I don't really get this whole 'You have x amount of posts, you have no life' thing.

    OP, you've managed 6 posts in just one day. If you're a member for just 2 years and average 6 posts a day, boom, 4000+ posts. Do you really not understand how that's possible?

    Why do you need to post 5 things a day?

    OP, are you a dowl or a gowl?

    Why did you need to post 9 times in the past 24 hours?

    It's a forum where people post things and shocker, their posts add up.

    Is the OP a munter or something?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 8,712 ✭✭✭Unearthly


    Completely agree OP. The 3k and above brigade are wasting their life's and I bet they don't even realise it


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,894 ✭✭✭UCDVet


    I don't. It's pathetic to be honest.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,537 ✭✭✭Arthur Beesley


    I run a scat bot that creates most of my posts. Hence the obsession with all things faeces.

    I agree :-)


    Actually I have quite a good active life, but rather then go to the news channels I drop by here to see what's happening, and if I have an opinion I will post it, can't see nothing wrong with that.

    The OP is right. We should all use Facebook instead.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,911 ✭✭✭Zombienosh


    there's an outside?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,610 ✭✭✭Titzon Toast


    You post on an Internet forum telling people not to post on an Internet forum?

    OP has just shot my self esteem to shreds. :(

    Edit: Ignore my sentence below, I checked the post.
    Without checking the post history or context of that quote, I'm pretty sure it's a line from an Eminem song!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,944 ✭✭✭✭Links234


    No, I don't. Is it worth getting one? I can't really see the benefit


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,252 ✭✭✭✭uck51js9zml2yt


    I only have a life when it doesn't conflict with my time in boards.

    While I admit my post frequency is directly proportional to how boring my life is you have to remember a lot of the users here work in public sector jobs and do the lion's share of their posting at work leaving the evenings free for Glee and Jersey Shore.
