I don't really post for postcount. Otherwise, I wouldn't be posting so much in threads like "The One Above", "Caption the Avatar Above You", or "TCTI" :P

I post because I feel like posting. Some of the time, my posts aren't deep, but that's simply because I'm engaging in friendly conversation, or answering a poll. Postcount's a fun statistic to keep track of, particularly when it reaches numbers like "666", and even sometimes in competition, but at the end of the day, I don't really care too much about it. :/

I post because I talk too much, though I do get encouraged to post for the sake of post count when it nears a certain number. 8D Like the last one was 1337.

A bit of both. I don't Spam and I generally speak my mind. But it is fun to watch those numbers rise.

EDIT:Reached 555 just now! Aiming for 666. XD

As much as I think it's cool to watch my postcount number rise everyday, I don't post for it at all. As I've said in other posts, I post to share my experiences or express my opinions. Sometimes I post just because I'm bored, but I almost always post to tell a story. And meh, so my posts per day are below two, but I don't care. I'm not the twelve year old on the old forum I went to who posted ten times a day because I thought it'd make me look cool. :/

It's been long but we can do it; let's make this our dream

Look to tomorrow because it's all we have. Turn up the music until the walls shake. What do we have?
Is it hope? Love? Is it nothing at all? We won't know at all until we make something of what we feel.
When that happens, we'll find the truth. We'll find what we want. And we will find ourselves, finally.

If I wanted meaningless stuff to lord over other people, I'd play World of Warcraft. I don't, and I don't post to increase my post-count.

I want to post to say that I only post when I have something to say, but just saying that doesn't really feeling saying something and would make me a hypocrite. Such a quandary. I know! I'll try using humor to distract from the hypocrisy. Oh, it's not very effective.

I just post when I have something to say.

For the postcount of course, I don't trust those other penis enlargement methods.

I already have a high post count. I post pretty much when I feel like posting. XD

High postcounts are intimidating and epic, but I just post for the heck of it, since posts in the Wi-Fi Stadium don't count: and that's where 70% of my posts are... xD

I post when I actually have something I deem worthy to add to the thread. I don't feel like posting if I don't have much to say on the topic, so I read through a thread and think about how I could respond. Short answers in my mind get a pass.

In my newer days online, I used to post all the time because I was one of those that believed that a high post count meant something. Fortunately, I'll say, my mindset changed, and as a result my posting activity changed. While it doesn't look good to not be visibly active through my posts, I want to show that I strive to be a contributing member to this forum.

So I will say that I used to post for the sake of posting, and I used to post just for the number. Now I post to say something to the discussion, if that makes sense to anyone.

I post for 2 reasons-
I talk to much
I think what i say can be used for good use (which half the time noone cares),
but as much as noone says it, most people post for the count, ot to be more well known in the community

Yeah, that's what I would have said.
I only post when I feel like posting. I couldn't care less about the post count...

I dont believe those even count towards ur post count.

I usually post when I want to get my opinion in but If Im bored I do often just go to every interesting thread and post something.

Well I've been active on and off, though normally I get a little shy and opt against posting.

250 or something counted posts in 4 years is sad. =/ So I'm considering posting for the post count and for the sake of posting.

At least get 1000 so I look a tad reputable for my join date. <.<
