Guest cobainwasmurdered Report post Posted October 4, 2002 I.Am.Glad. And I'm helping your post count! I really AM great! *head swells* hmmm. maybe everyone who bitched about the quality of the board would stop if post counts would disappear. i am sure the option exists. that way, many of the mindless post whore threads would disappear. the 8000 posts and counting threads would disappear. the three letter replies for the sake of gaining a post would disappear. the established poster nonsense would disappear. hell, by eliminating post counts, it seems like a lot of the troubles that plague the quality of the board would disappear. GH, I'm one of the ones doing the "Established Poster" thing and...it's a joke. Who cares if peoplecelebrate post counts? Good for them! If it makes them happy. I joke around about it all the time. Post whore threads wouldn't go away if we got rid of post counts becuase alot of those threads were fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Banky Report post Posted October 4, 2002 Ya take away the post counts, ask what happened at the old smarks board when that happened. It did NOT go over well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest cobainwasmurdered Report post Posted October 4, 2002 I remember that...well I wasn't posting then but I remember the reaction of some people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest T®ITEC Report post Posted October 4, 2002 Some people got really upset with that. Made for quite the read. But I don't think I would be so against it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest cobainwasmurdered Report post Posted October 4, 2002 I would. I think it's silly toget rid of post counts just because some people are so against post whoring. I don't like alot of the post whoring either but It's not that big of a deal. Besides some of the people so against it used to be post whores themselves.

Guest goodhelmet Report post Posted October 4, 2002 hey i am as big of a post whore as anyone *looks at count* BUT very rarely with the exception of the word ass. thread do you see a reply such as the following *shudders* or i agree or *nods head* or lol or <one of the several clickable smilies> really, is that needed? if you have nothing to add to the thread is your response really necessary?

Guest cobainwasmurdered Report post Posted October 4, 2002 Sure it's not neccasary. The people who do that are normally hated (DJ Jeff for example) It's not so bad if people do it every once and awhile though. Could you live with out Bob Barron's "Oh Tag"? Or Kotz's "NO POBO" Or Agnes" Why does everyone hate me?"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It depends. Sometimes a smilie can be humourous, if used in the right situation, or, if it is an attempt to be sarcastic. You see, I could have easily said, 'I agree' right after your post (and I'm sure someone will before my post gets up). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kotzenjunge Report post Posted October 4, 2002 NO POBO!! is used in context of something else always, just to give it a little extra defense. Fo sheez, Kotzenjunge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest goodhelmet Report post Posted October 4, 2002 Sure it's not neccasary. The people who do that are normally hated (DJ Jeff for example) and that is why i brought the point up in the first place. you can easily add something to the thread by not posting in it at all. and if i recall correctly, people were more upset that the rankings disappeared moreso than the post counts. hell, here, your title can be whatever you want it to be!!!!

Guest cobainwasmurdered Report post Posted October 4, 2002 True. But people will still whore around wether or not you get rid of post counts. So it's not worth the trouble. Most people don't post in the post whore threads to get a higher post count that's only an added benifit. Most people post in them because it's fun. If people want to place importantance on post counts, let them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest goodhelmet Report post Posted October 4, 2002 oh i disagree. i think people do post whore because of the post counts. i think a lot of the post examples i had just mentioned would cease if they knew they weren't tacking onto the total. hell, in this same thread, you even implied one reason to post was solely to increase the post count and asked for thanks for doing it.

Guest treble charged Report post Posted October 4, 2002 Personally, during the Summer, when you'd look at the 'Today's Top 10 Posters' list, and see that people had posted 200-300 times in one day, I had to shake my head. Now, I'm sure some of those were decent responses to somethings, but for the most part, it was one word (if it could even be considered a 'word') posts, designed solely to get to another 'milestone' and make fun of Lil' Bow Wow. I felt like telling them, 'Go outside, get a job, do SOMETHING'. There's more to life than just sitting in front of a computer, trying to gain some type of 'respect' through a large number underneath your name. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest J*ingus Report post Posted October 4, 2002 The funny part about the original post is, yes, there are a few people I know who are 1.black, 2.big tough wrestlers, and 3.my friends. And this jerkoff abortion would shit his tighty whities if he met them in real life and they knew what he'd posted here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest cobainwasmurdered Report post Posted October 5, 2002 Yes SOME people do take part in those threads for the sole purpose of increasing their post counts. But alot...even the majority of the posters don't do that. If those morons want to waste time trying to improve on their post counts let them. I honestly don't think people would stop being post whores if you turned off Post Counts because they'd probably find a way to keep track anyway. Post Counts are just fine in my books, and despite all of this I don't see why we should eliminate them...but I wouldn't spaz out if we did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kotzenjunge Report post Posted October 5, 2002 Post whoring is almost like an addiction. It's just really fun to watch the number go up and up and up. I think I've whored ten times, and that was when someone else said they were post whoring, and it turned into making fun of said whoring. Example: Me: Dude, contribute something, don't just be a post whore. Kidding. Them: I am NOT a post whore, but you are. Me: I Me: Am Me: Not!!

Guest Midnight Express83 Report post Posted October 5, 2002 Whoring done with protection is good. It can be funny at times, like the old "One and Only Post Whore Thread" on the EZboard. The "mission to 1000" Was another pointless post whoring thread that sparked fun. But when whoring is done wrong. You get bad results: DJJeff and the smilies of "doom".
