Poll: Do you hate "Yay, [number] Posts" Threads?

[ejb626]

I haven't celebrated any of my gains. I think mostly because unless I did something big (like I've noticed people write long essays on games) people wouldn't care because I'm not a very recognizable member of this site, and I don't have the patience to write an essay if there's no deadline.

Post count is good for one thing only: telling how many times you've posted. That's it. It's absolutely nothing worth celebrating,.

 

[Jezzascmezza]

It's ironic that this thread basically is a so called "celebration thread."
But I've never actually seen any others before, but if I did, they would probably irritate me.

 

[Macgyvercas]

I don't mind it. I think it's cool actually. Planning on one for 5000. Also for 20000 if I ever make it that far (which is highly unlikely, as I don't post on everything...only stuff I find interesting/amsuing/rageworthy)

 

[Assassin Xaero]

You see them pretty often; threads where people celebrate their 1000/2500/5000/etc.'s post...

- do you hate it when people do that? - or do you think that they deserve a little celebration?

I despise them... the only number worth celebrating anyway is 666, the number of our great lord and master...

 

[Polaris19]

Only the milsestones. 1000 5000 10000 50000 100000 and so on.

 

[rileyrulesu]

Im not even joking, i hate "don't you hate what some people do" threads WAAAY more.

 

[DocBalance]

Nah, it's all in good fun. If I ever get up high enough where I feel like my post count is anything but an arbitrary number, then I might make one myself.

 

[Marter]

They don't bother me. I made a thread at 5000 posts. It didn't do well.

I will not be making another post celebration thread.

 

[CK76]

I honestly never even notice my post counts on forums.

 

[stutheninja]

they are just fine by me, but just don't do it a ton, it gets annoying after awhile

 

[2012 Wont Happen]

Acceptable number threads in my opinion:
- 1,000
- 5,000
- 10,000
- 25,000
- 50,000
- 100,000

Just my thoughts.

 

[similar.squirrel]

It's an odd thing to celebrate, but I don't have any issued with them.

 

[Ironic Pirate]

No. I don't have to post if I don't want to, and I usually don't.

This one was more subtle, though, so I decided to post. Yay?

 

[londelen]

I don't really care. I think it would be better though, for there to be one centralized thread where everyone interested in making note of their post count would post.

 

[The Night Shade]

I don't care personally i did it once and probably i'll do it again

 

[Haunted Serenity]

I wouldn't use the word hate, but I do find them a tad silly.

Yeah. I can understand 50k or something but anything lower is kinda woo good for you.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

It depends.

If it's just "Yay, look at my post count" then yes, they're bad.

However, if the user thinks 'Hmmm... I should make a thread to celebrate, what topic could I write about', and we end up with a good thread with a celebration bit to it as well then that's great, because people tend to try harder then.

 

[Jonluw]

I am not bothered by them, though I think they should add something to talk about in the topic.

 

[Sassafrass]

Only if it's the only thing they talk about. I remember a few months back when we had a lot of celebratory threads for 1K, 5K and 10K, they just sprung out of the woodwork. But as long as they have some discussion, it's fine.

If I understand correctly, before I arrived, it was a tradition to do a review for each milestone. I missed my 10K, did a review for of one of my favourite films for 20K, was planning a tag-team review for my 30K but that got canned due to problems and my 40K blew by without nothing happening. And my 50K, as it's inevitable unless I get banned, I might do something. Probably a small review again.
