concern about the number of post
I notice threads about the number of posts and about them dissappearing , etc. Is there a reason why the number of posts are important other than just curiosity or interest in counting them?

Re: concern about the number of post
I'm amazed that I've ran my mouth as much as I have. Especially since I honestly try not to reply to posts to pad my post count. Like I've seen so many others do. When I reply to someone (other than as an opinion on something), I honestly mean it. If I don't have anything sincere to say, I keep my mouth shut. I hate false sincerity myself.

I could care less and I would never know if my number went down.
Some mornings it's not worth the effort of chewing through the restraints.

Posts basically tell others who have a life & who don't. =) A lot of people have nothing worthy to worry about in their lives, other than how many posts they can make on a site. {shrug** It's the impression I have gotten over the past 6-7 yrs. I have been online.

Re: concern about the number of post
The day posts were deleted, I had glanced at how many I had, and was amazed. I'm a quiet person and couldn't believe I had posted that much. I lost about 100 posts (probably from chain game threads), but I don't see where high post numbers matter one way or another.

Well you're a bit rude aren't you? Just because someone posts/doesn't post it doesn't reflect on how much of a life they have. I have more posts than you do, but I assure you I live quite a fulfilling life.

Doin' alright...
Re: concern about the number of post
I'm having to post just so I can see my count, lol.
I think I've been with BBS since April of 2000 and the last time I looked, I hadn't made a thousand, yet.

This works both ways. Just because a person doesn't have a whole mess of posts, doesn't mean they have a life, either. I have about 7 hours a day (during the school year) to myself and being online that I could be spending here posting. Some people are talkers or just friendly. I always try to be friendly but I'm real shy so I just post or reply when something said makes me want to.
As for "padding" a count, this makes no sense to me. I've seen it done on other boards where the same people will reply with a smilie or an "lol" and then leave. I'm talking about the people that do it over and over. I haven't seen that ever happen here. I just don't see the purpose.
Post count isn't a status meter. 
ok, so it's only been since 2001 but still...
