Post/message count

[Jayhawker Soule]

Does your post/message count matter to you? If so, why?

I ask because I struggle to understand why someone might create a thread of the type ...

• Could God have four thumbs?

or

• Are whooping cranes birds?

In some cases such a thread might be created to not-so-subtly mock a previous effort, but I can't help but wonder if, in other instances, they result from a desire to boost one's message count.

Nope.

 

[JustGeorge]

No, my post count doesn't matter to me.

While I never post for frubals, my frubal count in ratio to my post count(especially before the software change) kinda thrilled me.

Nice to be well received for a change.

It's more pity really.

It's more pity really.

Same for you.

Why would a desire to boost message count necsesitate the creation of innane threads? Couldn't one simply innanely respond to any and all active threads?

I think the reasons for these threads must lie elsewhere, but it`s beyond my ken.

I'm for anything that makes me feel important.

 

[Brickjectivity]

My teachers told me there were no stupid questions.

Read your question again -- thoughtfully -- bearing in mind

• I neither said nor suggested that desire would "necsesitate the creation of innane threads"(sic).
• One should be able to think of any number of examples where one's desire is not matched by one's ability.

 

[Quagmire]

My teachers told me there were no stupid questions.

I once asked one of my teachers if there were any stupid questions.

She said, "What are you, an idiot"?

 

[Jayhawker Soule]

The is not only a message count, but one presumably deemed "notable."

My post count is quite high, mostly because i continuously post inane babble (hey don't agree with me) on the humour threads but I've created very few thread's.

As suspected, I'm not notable.

You are to me.

When one of my students asked that, I said, "Yes of course, you little moron! Now get out of my class! I have no more time for your bull!"

Did you know, moron is Welsh for carrot?

 

[Eddi]

Do you have me in mind, Jay?

I do want to boost my post count

But to me it is more important that I make quality posts and decent OPs

Maybe some of my posts are better than others

But I don't make posts with the sole aim of boosting my post count I would never do that

I want to be active, not spammy

In the old software universe, we joked about who was on top of the daily, weekly... post count and sometimes had contests with a sentence being posted as a set of single letters --- friendly competition.

I would ascribe a number of threads as trolling to jerk people's chains. Perhaps not at the level for staff to take action but to me they were. There are other psychological motivations but I won't bore you with a list.

And it should be since carrots are not known for their intelligence.
