Postcount Milestones

    Postcount itself doesn't really mean that much to me, i'll usually notice when i'm about to hit a miltstone though. Like for example i'm getting close to 1000 posts.
    Saying that though the 1000 post milestone does mean something to me because i want to hit it before my pair does >:D

    Are postcount 'milestones' important to you, for example 100, 500, 1000, etc.? Or do you tend to just skip over them completely?
    Milestones were important to me when I first joined.

    Another question, does postcount as a whole matter to you or could you not care less about how many posts you've made on here?
    I prefer quality over quantity, like I said, I cared about postcount when I first joined,

    I couldn't care less about post counts. One person is not smarter or nicer or whatever than another because they have 10000 posts and the other has 2000.

    I never had post count milestones while I was here. I'm here to have fun and make friends, not to spam and flood this place with posts.

    Not really. I remember when I first joined it was like.
    "ZOMG *number* POSTS YAYYY"
    But now, I really dont care, it's not like anyone really cares how many posts someones made.

    Though I want 4000 so I can have blogs js.

    Back then when I was a little bit more of a noob than I still am, I remember being uber excited about my 1000st post. That post was, like 2000 of my other useless and not quality posts, posted in the DCC, and I had like stacks of MooMoo milk everywhere, and I think I even gave out "thanks" as if I was winning a frikin award or something. Ohhh, I smh at my 2009 self.

    I was happy that I reached my 1000th post count. Then after that I don't even care about it anymore. I won't be as too excited when I reach 2000.

    No. Post count doesn't mean anything to me. It's one of the most trivial things you can worry about. In fact, I sometimes feel the higher my post count is, the more I need to find something more productive to do with my time.

    I don't really think it matters. You don't get respect or anything like it for having a big post count.

    The hundreds and thousands... don't really matter to me anymore. .__.; But I definitely noticed the first time I got into second place. And was counting down the thousands to first place before there was a massive post recount and Jorfe gained like 6k posts out of nowhere. >:O I was gonna be first to 30k!

    But anyway. I do notice postcount. It's kind of the only material goal I can have on PC nowadays. XD;

    I hardly ever notice my postcount anymore, tbh. So no, I don't set milestones anymore. I'm past 5k, which nets me blogs if I leave/get demoted, which is all I care about. d("d) Even though I don't post much, I love my blog ;_;

    The only time I notice my postcount is if it's a nice, even number, but that's because it looks nice. And then I post again and ruin it. XD

    They mattered to me when I was like... fifteen. I believe I made a milestone out of my 666th, 1000th, and 1337th posts. The first and last are kinda weird to acknowledge, but I remember being like "HAHAHA I'M SO 1337" and... oh god it's embarrassing. D;

    Post count doesn't matter much to me now. I literally just noticed I hit 3000 posts at some point recently but I really don't pay attention otherwise.

    I'm here since December 2009 (using two accounts) and had ~450 posts in that time, so no. I don't post alot and the count doesn't matter to me.

    I once cared overall, aka I memorised the date I got 10,000, lol :x
    And 20,000 only 'cause that was PC anniversary but still--oh God have I made 4,000 posts in less than a year, what.

    And I only cared about 24,000 because 23,000 looked ugly. Now I don't care and I'd be fine if my post count stayed at 24,000-ish forever. :3

    Once upon a time I cared about post count. That's when I first joined the forum though and thought I needed to post more so the larger my number looked, the more active and established I looked. Then, it became more of a trivial matter, and I don't even care anymore. Sometimes I go on a posting-spree just because I feel like it, and sometimes I may only post twice or three times in the day. Only on occasion do I ever acknowledge my post count number, but it means nothing to me really.

    To give you an idea, I had an account before this. On that account, I had 5000+ posts. I gave all that up when I started fresh as Let's Get Lost Together. (i.e. this account right now).

    Doesn't really matter to me to be honest, though I do like to think I'm contributing to the community when I see some sort of milestone. I'm actually close to 3,000 now. :)

    To me, post count shows how much you contribute to discussions. Post counts are also milestones to me (I got up to 4k posts a week or two ago).
