Finally, a topic that isn't concentrated on some random anime.
Why would you even care though? The quality of the post is what matters, or should be in the case of PC. Just because they're active doesn't necessarily mean they're contributing in a positive manner to the place.
True. But a lot of people use their post count to stroke their ego. But, yeah, I remember this really idiotic member on a forum that shan't be named, and he posted an introduction thread, and this absolute n00b greeted him, and you know what his reply was?
'Wow, I can't believe someone with such a high post count would dare greet a newbie like me!'
I shook my head.
If you follow
this link, you can see a lot of the chit-chat and other threads from years ago. It was awesome. :D
Your best post ever? Quite possibly.
You know you're cool when... xD;
When I was new here, I saw post count as something really important, but now, I don't even look at it as much. I just... enjoy my time at PC, instead of worrying about that kind of stuff. :x
I could've sworn I was number three on that list at one stage.
I'm glad Ty is back, now I just wish Kylie and some others would come around more. ._.
But yeah, I kinda wish the DCC was as active as it used to be. It's not too bad how it is now, though. I'd be lying if I said I didn't care about post count (I think most people who say they don't care actually do), but it's definitely not the most important thing, or important at all really. I like it because it shows how much a person has interacted on PC. A person could be a member since 2003 but if they only had 5 posts they probably don't know PC or its members very well. Someone who joined in 2007 but has 4000 posts probably knows more about the community than the first person.
A thread being really active normally causes it to become a SPAM hole, my friend. And yeah, I agree with you when you say that a lot of people claim they don't care about post count when they really do.
Alright people, riddle time!
Five pirates have 100 gold coins. They have to divide up the loot. In order of seniority (suppose pirate 5 is most senior, pirate 1 is least senior), the most senior pirate proposes a distribution of the loot. They vote and if at least 50% accept the proposal, the loot is divided as proposed. Otherwise the most senior pirate is executed, and they start over again with the next senior pirate. What solution does the most senior pirate propose? Assume they are very intelligent and greedy and not suicidal.
