How Many Posts Does It Take?

[S.Daedalus]

Ok people...fess up...and be honest, try not to be a hypocrite on this one.

I've just been noticing more and more newbie’s complaining about this stuff and it has peaked my curiosity(as sooo many things do)

I’m not out to insult anyone or offend anyone. But if you can give a reason as to why you decide what you decide or at what point the decision was made I'd greatly appreciate it.

As for myself, i'll talk to you when ever you talk to me. Or if I want to. Don't matter what amount of posts you have, it's the last thing I look at (if I look at all). But i'm still a newbie soooo...

PS: I know for a fact some people don't care at all. And i know for a fact others care way to much.

The amount of posts has nothing to do with it. I usually won’t talk to someone right off the bat. I need to have seen you around and read some of your posts so that I know the type of person you are. And to be honest the longer you’ve been at Lit the longer, I think, you’ve had to let your true colors show.

What's the question?

You mean how people decide who to interact with , trust, etc?

for me it is all about the content of your posts...but then you knew that.

Yeah, what she said.

But there are times where out of the blue I'll interact with someone I've never seen or heard of before.

I don't think there is a person on this board who chooses their friends based on post count. lol

 

[Guest]

For me...
post totals don't matter.

But... for many others they do. usually once you hit a thousand posts.. people begin noticing you..

unless you post naked pics or piss everyone off.

Ya....sorry if that wasn't clear. Trust is another issue, but i notice some wont even respond to posts and stuff....and who knows about responces to PM's.

I think J.B. has a good point...time defenently shows true colors, sorta...donno..just curious

Oh, and post count is irrelevant.

Edited to add: Sunny, I missed your post above again! So sorry!

Get out of my head! And into my pants.

Get out of my head! And into my pants.

Tease!

Maybe because 1000 shows your …. What’s the word I’m looking for here? Dedication? Anyway, it usually shows that you’re not just popping in. Or that you’re full of shit. Thought that doesn’t really say much since there are those who’ve gotten past the 1000 with nothing but hateful crap.

 

[Shingen]

Speaking from experience, post count does matter, but hey, I'm a newbie and I understand. It's like being the new kid in school. I need to be broken in....

 

[Jimi]

I do not care a bit...

There are some "oldies" here who still ignore me - but I could basically give a rat's now... used to bug me - but Lit. is a community - and it takes all kinds - thank goodness.

I am pretty much a "hit and run" poster because I am always doing several things while I am here.

I have found that people respond to me, even when I was new, and many still don't know me.

I post because something interests me and then I watch it through my subscribed threads. Often times I am not compelled to post again, I just like seeing what happens to it.

We make our own place. I like being the lady sitting in the chair at the cocktail party, getting enjoyment from all around me. I get up now and then to go and talk with a few, but get the most pleasure from watching the goings on...

 

[Guest]

I don't care the post number of an individual poster. I just ignore the threads with more than 100 posts.

30 k. minimum.

 

[Guest]

Boy I have long way to go...

 

[Bluesboy2]

Hmm... I am guilty, but I didn't used to be. I won't trust anyone who hasn't been around long thanks to certain individuals here.
You though, I know someone close to you quite well and you have been vouched for.

 

[Ezarc]

I pesonally just respond to those around me that grab my attention. I look at what is being said and then respond if it is something I find intresting. I post to newbies and old timers alike. It is what is written and how it is being offered that makes me care enough to respond.

 

[Temptress_1960]

So, what I'm reading is that how long you've been here is actually how many posts you have, not how many months/years it's taken you to get to that figure.

 

[glamorilla]

pretty much what everyone else said.

i think my problem is i always post on the assumpion people understand that i'm laughing at a joke or smiling at something nice they said and so on...i usually hate quoting with things like "LMAO" and stuff..i've been doing it more lately more due to slower traffic andwanting to keep thigs moving here...

but i notice everybody.

i hate messy pages.

 

[Touch1]

I just read through the posts and respond to those that intrest me. I don't care if your a newbie or not. After all we all had to start someplace, and from what I've seen, just because you've been here a while doesn't mean you have anything to say that isn't hurtful, spiteful, ingorant or disrespectful, funny, insightful, or non-contributing to the general knowledge of the board. So, post away.

 

[TexasHeat]

I guess I'd better get to work then.

 

[Never]

It's always a good idea to make sure I like you before you PM me.
Other than that, I only speak with members of the Lit Clique.
