Post quantity
 
I hear everybody making such a big deal about post. Why? What's the big deal about the quantity of post? I know if you have little, then you're new, but I don't see (and can't find in faqs) the reason everyone is so hype on having a large amount of posts. I have quite a few, but unlike some people, I don't flaunt it, but maybe because I don't see the value in it.

I say it isn't important. when I first joined, people wanted their post count high because it made them look less n00bish and smart. Of course that wasn't the case with me, the only reason I have over 1,000 posts is because one time in the DCC I got like 756 posts in one day, and like 300 the next. Then it quietened down..

I just post whenever necessary. I knew that it wouldn't make me a mod, cause you can always make 1,000 post of pure crap. When I give help on strategies & movesets, I am no smarter than a person with 10 post. So I try not to act it. Three times on that thread, I saw people saying "what do you know, you only have 13 post!". That confused me.

Yea well U know what let me make this clear. People who think that alot of posts are good arent right. Posts dont really matter. Well to me they dont.

Melody September 5th, 2007 12:56 PM

In my opinion postcount has NOTHING to do with your experience level. I feel it's very rude to say that.
Postcount doesnt matter at all. It's just a number that gauges how many posts a person has made. most of the time it's not even accurate because it doesnt take into account the posts made in areas where postcount isnt incrememted.

What I think he means is that people post in the welcome forum excessively and that's all they seem to do, for a reason I have yet to find out. Why would they do that? I mean, I know a couple of people who did just about nothing but posted on welcome threads.

((So far everyone who has posted in here has had over 300 posts! :o))

I remember a forum I used to go to where you were considered a "newb" until you got 1000 posts. It was...an odd place, anyways.

I don't really care about my post count, quality is better than quantity. I just look at post counts to get a general idea of how often the user has been on PC and how active they are. Then I get shocked when I see their actual posts...(ah, I'm kidding! I kid the PC! ._.; )

I don't judge people by post quantity, I judge by post quality.

Oh...my...god. How come you all don't think post count is important!? XD

Just joking: I don't find it important at all, I only bragged once about my post count (when I first reached 100 but that was special XD) I used to be obsessed with post count, so obsessed, I'd post a ton of crappy non-helping posts in one day. It wasn't at this place, but another one. I agree that quality is more important, and the only relevence post count has is to tell if someone is new, or sits in the battle/trade threads all day.

There could be some really nice people out there with a small postcount.

Its not really a big deal. A person with 3 posts can easily outsmart a person with 2000. I guess it just depends on a persons character, wether they feel postcount is important or not. Its no big deal.

Xoo September 8th, 2007 3:45 PM

I don't personally care. I mean, having a lot is nice, but it doesn't really matter.

I have two fifths of Jack all, and I couldn't give two hoots. Anyone who sees me differently is the one who should be looked down upon....

I jsut have fun going WEE I got 500 posts or 1000 or 100 or whatever but besides that it's just a number. It helps to tell how active a person is but i've never found it does anything to show off ones character.
