It used to be exciting when I got to those 100, 500, and then 1000 post marks, even that 1337 post mark.

But honestly, I don't know if anyone else feels the same, after you go well beyond that, post count becomes the least of a matter. When I got to 4000 it was like "...oh goody. meh, what's in OVP today?" Even though any normal person would probably envy me (until they see Arcanine and Jake's post count), but really, now I guess I know that post count isn't much of an excitement after a while.

Just like birthdays, to be exact. Just give me a cake, 100$, and let me get on with my life, I don't want a freaking party for kids anymore >__>

Yeah I used to since now I want to reach 1000 posts I regulary check my post count. But I don't wanna be spammy in doing so. So I try and posts good quality posts too. But ours is nothing compared to member's like Forever or Lighting.

Hardly, I never felt post count to be an important matter (oh no i think i have to be banned from other trivia). I like seeing significant numbers, but I'm happy with my relatively low post count as it is.

When I came back to PC, one of my first thoughts was: "I have that small of a post count...? ;-;" (It was seriously like, 320. D: )

Then as I got caught up again, I would wander around and post everywhere, and then I would look and go: "When did I hit 600...? Totally didn't even notice..."

Quality - Not Quantity

That is what I think when it comes to posts. So no, I have never looked at my posts and went 'huh. since when did I get that many posts', because I don't care for my post count.

I've actually watched my postcount closely since making this account mainly because of a self-imposed challenge to catch up to my original account's postcount (as it was when I stopped using it regularly) in less time than it took me to acquire it then. As it is, I still just over 250 posts to go by February to meet that goal.

After that though, I'm not sure how much I'll pay attention to it. XD

Every so often I do notice it's gone up, but it's more of a passive observation than anything else.

Sort of. Idk, I remember when I was at like, 16600, or something and then not long after I noticed I was at 17100, and I was like "...where the hell did that post count come from", cause it just rose rapidly. Then again, I blame B/W for that. :D

Before that, I didn't really check my post count that often since like, idk, 2008? Though I am kind of aiming to get 20000 by my PC anniversary, so dunno how hard that'll be. XD

...then again considering I got like, 1000 in a month...

In conclusion, I only check when I want to get a certain post count!

Though now I actually do try and make quality posts though and I actually take about 5 minutes to think before posting in threads like these, so... yeah.

I don't really take much notice of it. It's a good indicator of how involved in PC somebody is or was, but things like reaching certain post counts don't really appeal to me. I just like having threads to post on, but if there is nothing worth posting about I'm not going to post on topics I otherwise wouldn't post on just to get my post count up.

I'm not surprised by my post count as I always skim over it whenever I make a post, but sometimes I'm taken aback when I see the colossal number and I wonder how exactly I managed to get that many posts in such a short amount of time. Nowadays, I only post when it takes my fancy so I don't really monitor my post count/look forward to milestones, but it's nice to have a big number beside my posts. Makes me feel like a real man.

Actually, I think that mine's the opposite. I post post post, and wtf, hasn't gone up a bit! Well, I do post a lot in OT, but still.

I somewhat keep an eye on my postcount, so it doesn't take me my surprise. I was quite surprised yesterday though, when I made a lot more posts than I expected to (I think it had something to do with the new DCC thread xD).
