How Many Posts Does It Take?

My 1000th post...

What a perfect time to post my 1000th.......

And I'm still rarely noticed.......

Only took me a fucking year and 15 days!!

But who's counting?

oh good, i can reply to you now?

I have seen it happen... alot of people with under X amount of posts, either get ignored or skipped over when they comment.

Its probably not done intentionally, but it happens.

Fuckin' "A"....I'm on a roll now...

There are people with more posts than me that I don't seek out or talk with and people without av's who I enjoy very much.


Post count doesn't decide whether you are a jewel or a jerk, you do.

 

[enjoyingitall]

I don't look at a post count or an av to decide if I want to respond to something someone has said.

I post here and there wherever I decide I have something I want to say.

I'm quite certain that if someone responds to one of my posts, I don't ignore them, unless they're being an ass and their post count has nothing to do with my response or lack thereof.

I think it does happen though. There are those who seem to bypass postings of people that they haven't "seen" around much.
But if that happens to you, it's really up to you to decide whether or not to keep posting on a particular thread.

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.

damn newbies...always thinking they can come in here and make sense!

 

[christophe]

honestly it really depends on the post and how i feel at the moment...sometimes i come to lit and post frequently and others i just lurk and read....if something catches my eye or it is a fun thread to post on or one where i can render advise then i post....it has absolutley nothing to do with who started the post.

are there people that i enjoy talking to more than others...yes i think we all have friends here that we relate to better than others, but that in the long run is inconsequential

Well there's talking and posting, I'm not sure that everyone here is meaning the same thing. I've posted replies to people with low post counts if I was interested in their previous comments. I've PM'd with people who still carried the "virgin" tag if I thought they'd posted something intelligent. What I don't do is engage in PM "conversations" with people who contact me out of the blue, who have zero posts saying things like, "Hey Babe. You look hot." *rolls eyes*

This week's allotment received a nice reply telling them to go play on the boards awhile before they start hitting on the chicks. I was a little short fused (nice but short). None of them replied back. Oh well.

New users always complain about others ignoring them but IMO, it's more in how they phrase their comments than anything else. If they ask questions they'll get responses.

This board is no different than any other out there. Each has their own "feel". Once you catch on to the feel you learn word your comments to ellicit responses.

I don't care how many posts a user has or how long they've been on. If they post something that piques my interest I'll respond. If they don't I'll pass.

 

[Shadowann2]

I have to agree with almost eeryone here. Post count has nothing to do with my response, or lack there of, to a post. I might razz the newbies a little, but if they have proven that they have something worth while to contribute to the subject, I'll respond to them. I don't talk with newbies who send me a PM that says, "Saw you pictures....wanna suck my dick?" but if someone asks me an intelligent question, I have no problem answering, reguardless of their status.

 

[red_rose]

I think certain people just click with others. I know that if I see one of my friends post or start a thread, I'm more likely to jump into that thread and see what's going on.

I've seen a good handful of "newbies" around lately that are really fun - and I look forward to seeing more from them.

As for PMs, which someone mentioned earlier... I have a confession. If someone sends me a PM and they have no posts, I am far less likely to reply. To me, it's just a bit awkward if not creepy. That person can see every post I've made - they can know more about me than they know about most of the people they know IRL in less than an hour. lol And I can't learn anything about them. It feels... uneven, I guess. I've laid it all out there and they're still hiding in the shadows.

Okay... maybe I feel like this because I once had a convo with someone who wound up creeping me the fuck out because he'd read all of my posts and was just telling me things I wanted to hear. *shrug*

 

[Wiggles]

Some people get a lot more attention than others, but that's not neccessarily because of their post count. It might be because of their views, their sense of humor, the amount of time they spend here or how much interaction they have with the board.

I don't think people really want to hear what someone has to say until they know what kind of person they are/who they are. I mean, I don't really give a shit if your favorite color is blue, but maybe I might pay attention if I was planning on buying you a present in the future.

I just try to get more out of this forum board than it gets out of me, but that's my thang. You can have my extra share of attention though. lol

 

[J.B.]

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.

Am I to be trusted?

Just getting home and SHOCKED at the responses I’m receiving in this thread.

I'll be the first to say...I DOUBT half of these people are telling the truth. Not their fault, but they just don’t realize what they truly are doing. But either way..it's your responses, really, who am I to judge?

Just curious.

I do how ever appreciate the honesty of certain people. And the fact that they acknowledge that they may not respond to someone or glaze over a newbie’s post. But others who have been here longer STILL feel un-noticed, I find that interesting. So maybe some are right. Who knows...know one can tell the honesty of a post....especially not myself.

I have another way of deciding...or better brake 10,000 and show yourself naked on your AV.

... says "break."

 

[S.Daedalus]

... says "break."

Thanx...

 

[agezinder]

I don't post here often and when I do it's usually all in fun. I tend to stay away from the serious debates because I want to keep my stay here light , non-serious and fun. Plus, I don't get very many responses from most people here. Which is okej. I'm fine with not being in a clique. I don't look at post count at all. I'll post with anyone in a fun thread...

 

[amiss]

Maybe more than 2 cents

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.

I don't think I agree, about that dedication thing. I've been around for about nine months, but there were times I could only "pop on" now and then, so my post count is low. Plus, I don't usually post to a thread unless I've got something of value to say. If my point's already been made, SOMETIMES, I'll quote and add "Ditto" but rarely; I mean, really, what's the point?

I like posting to the "person below me" or "lyric game with a twist" thread, because they take thought and ingenuity. But there are a lot of threads with many fairly pointless posts. (This is my humble opinion, remember!) As I said, I only post when I think I have something of value to add to the dialogue. Adding a so people know I think something is funny would up my post count, but not contribute anything to the forum.

I think, after all that, I'm trying to point out that post count is a deceptive way of gauging one's true activities on Lit. Hence, checking someone's previous posts would be a more accurate reading of their "worthiness" in conversation.

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...

Stephen

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

Stephen, I say "fuck em"

[dolf]

i'll call them a noob at least once usually...but other than that the only difference is i can't always recognise individuals without AVs. no memory for names.

 

[estevie]

Post count doesn't matter to me.

It's the content. I have many people with a high babble count on ignore.
