But if I don't post 10 times a day I'll wither up and die!

    Do you ever feel obliged to post a certain number of times per day/week on PC? By that I mean do you feel that you need to hit a target, or do you just like to post whenever and wherever you feel like?

    I am in the latter group. I'm not Requility where I feel the need to maintain my "post per day" average.

    "OH NO! MY AVERAGE POSTS PER DAY HAS FALLEN BY 0.00000000000000000000001%! WHAT EVER WILL I DO? IT IS THE SIGN OF THE APOCALPYSE! WOE IS ME, WOE IS ME!"
     
    I feel obligated to post at least once in OVP per day. But that's because I mod here. I'd be a crap mod if I didn't post around my own section!

    I should also feel obligated to make topics but tbh I suck at thinking of ideas, so it doesn't happen as often as it should. One day they are gonna fire me for it. </3
     
    I feel like I always need to make a post in DCC once a day other than that, no I dont care about my posts per day or postcount.
     
    The amount of times I post a day doesn't matter much to me. That said, I feel obligated to post in clubs I'm part of and OT at least once a day. There are certain sections of the forum I never post in, mainly cause they're not part of my interest. Though I also usually post in whatever threads appears on the front page. I think I should explore more.
     
    I honestly have no clue what my average posts per day is. I just post when I have something to say. lol
     
    Recently, my average posts per day is starting to drop due to me not posting as often as I used to. But I try to post in OVP or any of the Pokemon-related forums at least once a day.
     
    I'm more of a lurker myself, but I do post when I really want to say something. I mostly stick to the roleplay corner, though.
     
    I don't have a 'minimum' amount set out in my mind, I know I have days where I am not as active and others I explode out of the blocks! XD

    So, I just go along with it.​

    I love to hit as many posts in a day, even if it's outside of Other Trivia.

    I post so much I can't recall my average postcount per day.
     
    I feel obliged to post in every OVP thread that comes up - unless I truly have no idea whatsoever how to answer it, and even then I usually spend hours with it open in a tab trying before I call time of death. I also feel obligated to post in my clubs to keep them active.

    Other than that, I don't really feel obligated to post anywhere; I just post as I wish. I'm not even sure 'obligated' is the right word - it implies it's like a chore. I'm happy to do it!
     
    I try to post 7 times a day (a bit over my current PPD average), but I usually fail spectacularly XD Unless it's a DCC spam kind of day or something.

    you made me think I posted here :(

    I was trying to keep my PPD up - 12.09 but it dropped one number and lately I haven't really felt like being on PC much, so although I always make 25 posts over a 2 day period, I'm just not really inspired to aim higher.

    As for general averages, I try to post in TCTI at least 3 times a week, CBC once a week, B/W in every weekly poll and B2W2 2-3 posts a day. Everywhere else I just don't really plan to post. But those sections aren't the most active ones anyway so ya lol.
     
    Haha, no. The higher my post count gets, the more I legitimately feel like I want to stop coming here, because I hate having such high a post count.
     
    Not at all! I really only post when I have something to say; having a higher post count hasn't always been that important to me, or I'd have a lot more posts by now. XD; I usually feel like I should post in the AG at least once a week though (more depending on activity?), but that's more because I want to keep posting there than feeling "obligated" to do so... if that makes sense.
     
    A while back, I got into this little mental rut of wanting to post exactly 100 times per week. I thought that was a nice, steady number, and it worked out at roughly 15 posts per day - a large amount, but not unwieldy. Don't ask me how this got started, as I have no idea. Since then, however, the ideal has been dialled back considerably - while I do like to stay active, on the whole, I don't feel obliged to post 100 times per week if I don't want to. What has emerged from that, however, is that I now like to post in multiples of 5. Some days I'll make 5 new posts, other days will have 10 new ones, 15, and - on the rare occasion when I've got a lot to say - 20! Take my current post count (8,827): I'll probably post 3 more times tonight, and then call it a night for PC. It's not quite OCD, I don't think... there have been times where I've left the number as something very obscure (like 8,324) and I haven't killed myself. But I feel a lot more comfortable with a postcount ending in 5 or 0 when I go to bed.

    On a more specific level, I like to post about once a day in C&M, just to make sure members think I have a presence there. But it usually results in more than one post a day with moving/locking/answering questions etc. So that I don't get accused of raping OVP, I try to limit myself to only posting there 5 times in one day. Most other boards that I go to, I try to make regular contributions, but not so that I don't drown the conversation. Unlike C&M, however, there's no real obligation on my part; I just like to post in a lot of places. If there's nothing for me to say in, say, PGC for that day, then I won't post anything. But if there is, I shall.
