Post count
 
For some strange reason my most count went down about 70 odd places.

why?:fuzemb:

Mac Sirloin 08-12-2007 12:37 PM

Maybe they were (not to assume) double posts in your early days here, I know I did that.

Laser 08-12-2007 12:39 PM

Double posts? i don't remeber doing 60 double posts

Mac Sirloin 08-12-2007 01:48 PM

Well, I am not saying ALL of them were, and I really don't know, I am not a mod or an admin or anything of the sort.

Alf Shall Rise 08-12-2007 03:22 PM

I thought this would be obvious. :D

Picture Wars V2 closed! It was brought to the Necrum Burial Grounds! All posts in it were lost!

Jordan 08-12-2007 03:41 PM

You're joking? How come?

Paul 08-12-2007 03:59 PM

Mutual Friend 08-12-2007 04:23 PM

Yes.

And I only write this post to bump up my own tally. Ta.

Mods (bless them), knowing that many newer members (or 'Noobs') are obsessed with post counts, regularly knock these newer members' post counts down in an attempt to stop newer members having more posts than members who are actually respected. Needless to say, Noobs find the loss of many posts traumatic, and simply cannot bear posting any more, for the fear of losing their precious posts.

The truth, straight from the horses mouth.

Paul 08-12-2007 08:05 PM

I just noticed he put "most count" instead of "post count" maybe somthing else was on his mind ;)?

I take that as an insult.

right ok i was just wondering.
So that means that i'm one of the lesser respected people with a high post count of 310 before the picture wars was necrumed?
Also i don't really care about my post count i was just curious

Alcar 08-13-2007 01:26 AM

The OWF have never taken kindly to members we perceive as 'spammers'. It's a quality over quantity issue. As long as you reply intellectually to a thread, you will generally garner more respect quicker.

And yes, we often like to move the larger spammier thread into Necrum just to see the post counts drop like flies :p

i always knew the mods had a sadistic side :D

Jordan 08-13-2007 04:28 AM

Thank god I never even posted in it. I too, enjoy seeing post counts drop, it's rather entertaining.

Laser 08-13-2007 09:40 AM

why? if i may be so bold to ask?

Carnix 08-13-2007 10:22 AM

Because we're wierd like that :D. Odd is as odd does.

Why? Post count doesn't matter as Alcar nicely stated already. Simple story since it's already been told and anything I say will just be a rehash with a different style; QUALITY OVER QUANTITY.

Most members here highly appreciate one or many that will help deliberate or participate in some form of intellectual discussion, debate, or even heated arguments. cheers! :)

moxco 08-13-2007 11:47 AM

H0LY F*CK I'VE L0ST VALUABLE P0ST T00!
I'm less then 1000 again! Alcar, I'm so suing!
You lost 60, lucky. I lost more than 100!

Laser 08-14-2007 02:16 AM

Cheers Al
thanks for clearing that up :)

Exactly. Look at me, I've been here for more than 5 years, and I STILL haven't reached 2000 posts...

Hobo 08-25-2007 09:46 AM

It's because Peter's secretly moving it down whenever you get close to 2000. Because he hates you.

THINK OF THE CHILDREN ALCAR!

Wait, don't. It's bad for your blood circulation if you know what i mean.

Alcar 08-27-2007 05:06 AM

I will concede defeat, merely due to your exemplar innuendos.
