What does post count mean to you?

[Skuggen]

I recently started to post on this forum, but have been a member for some time. Really don't care about post count. I't just a number..

 

[sylekage]

It just means they like these forums. To me anyway. I've been here a good while, but I don't have many post counts. I love this community, but I'm more of a reader than someone who adds to things. Though I do like to post my opinion, get into good conversations, and whatnot.

 

[Starik20X6]

Two things:

1- I didn't know it kept track of post numbers until about a week or two ago.
2- I just realised right now that it says it right there under the avatar.

This is me paying attention to the world around me.

I still think 39k posts is impressive, even if a large portion of them are forum games.

I'm not sure that impressive is the right word, you should not have the goal of a high post count.

 

[Storax]

The amount of times someone has posted on a topic/created one.
Coming from someone who has 4 posts... :I

 

[FamoFunk]

How little a life someone or I have.

Really I don't really notice it, but when I do it just tells me they're an active member of the forums and like to contribute (and in a positive way to get so many posts with being banned)

Oh I don't have a goal of racking up a huge number of posts, but I am still impressed by things that take a great deal of time.
Kind of like many of the ridiculous projects in Minecraft. I tried building giant things (I built a 100 x 100 x 50 glass pyramid with a lava floor covered in glass, and water streaming down the sides) but never to the scale of <url=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/9.274723-Minecraft-Enterprise-update#10635778>the USS Enterprise or <url=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/7.303208-Minecraft-Middle-Earth-Will-Melt-Your-Mind#12132583>Middle Earth. Just because I don't intend to match it, doesn't mean it that it cannot impress me.

Shows everyone how important I am, and how big my penis is.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

Roughly about jack and shit.

 

[Arnoxthe1]

The number of times a person has pushed the post button. Nothing more.

Or less.

 

[Heronblade]

A post count under about 50ish can sometimes mean the difference when deciding whether or not someone is trolling, although that standard has its flaws as well.

Beyond that, nothing.

 

[SpAc3man]

Generally if someone says something stupid and they have a low post count I may just ignore them. If they have a higher count and should know better I might call them out on it. Also useful for spotting trolls and spam-bots.

Generally I don't refer to it often. I have been here for a while now and my count isn't high so I realise you don't need to have posted crazy amounts to be a part of the community.

 

[ThePS1Fan]

You know, the combination of my join date and post count is actually rather embarrassing.

You joined 11 days before me. I have under 300 posts, you have over 6000...

OT: It doesn't matter too much to me. Making a post isn't hard.

 

[bobmus]

I think above 1000 and I'm likely to recognise that person from around, and pay a little more attention to them on threads pertaining to the Escapist. When it comes to opinion on anything non-Escapist related, it means no more to me really. Some of the best posts I've ever seen have been from 200-something posters.
That being said, I'm hoping I can get my 1000 soon, as I've been slowly ramping up my presence here, and it'd be nice to have some numbers to show that.

 

[Headsprouter]

Ha-ha! This thread I'd another chance to add to my all-important post count!
It means little to me, really. Sometimes I'm about to post in a thread and realise it reaches the most pointless something can be on the Internet. Y'see in this case I got to make a little joke and less importantly, express an opinion so:

Yay.

 

[rekabdarb]

Well before this place exploded having a post over 1k was like the god's gift to the world.

But now having a post count over 10k doesn't seem that special anymore.

So not much.

 

[BehattedWanderer]

Idle milestones for random things, though most of them are only milestones for silly buggers, badges, and pretend self importance.

 

[Carbonyl]

A chance to get the Neo badge. Also as a sign of how often people post here, and possibly how well known they are within the community. I mostly judge people according to their avatars though.

I'm judging you based on your avatar.

....and I am judging you as AWESOME.

 

[Headsprouter]

Shows everyone how important I am, and how big my penis is.

If it's formatted in inches, centimetres, millimetres, or anything bigger, then I'd like you to know I DO NOT WANT.

 

[anthony87]

Well ever since I went past 3000 posts I've felt like more of a regular around these parts. I don't make inflammatory posts, I don't have a distinctive name/avatar. I'm just sorta......there.....in the back........
