Ooh! I do love the occasional angry mob - but pirate angry mobs are the best variety! Arr!

Unless some ninjas coming wailin' on their guitars. Then it'll be a big ninjas-vs.-pirates hullabaloo!

Er....anyway.... does anyone know what the stage in between newbie and oldbie is? I guess for now I'll call it "limbo"....

Lag's in limbo and he's an oldbie.

ARR!
Look at Godoftarot. Here 3 days and already has over half the amount of posts I do. And VT, passed my postcount on multiple accounts I believe.

*waves pitchfork and flaming brand*

GoT has more than 30 posts per day... he's a bit annoying, but not nearly as annoying as vile.

I don't know about that...

maybe I'm just daft but I've gotten a little bit fond of Vile as our resident forum troll.

I must say Vile was a lot more annoying a couple of weeks ago when my connection was very slow for some reason. He was literally posting faster than I could read it, and made me miss a couple of posts.
I could tolerate him right now, but I'd rather not have to.

VT actually has been really helpful lately... and putting up relevant posts instead of regular spamming... hmmm...

Its a trap! No, don't eat the muffins!

I note it's very hard for me to accrue a high post count. I spend more time reading than I do posting. I don't bother asking as many questions as most newbies do because I prefer to read and see if I can't find out the answer myself. The likelihood of me finding a thread on any given forum with a question that I want the answer to is very good. If I have a question, it's likely already been asked and answered.

Oh, and I think Vile is funny, but that's only from reading, as opposed to very little actual interaction.

Next to myself and Tarot, I think Mr. Bob has the highest post rate.

Way to go Bob!

Heh. From .89 to 3.39 in one day. I guess I was a little lax last night.

That post was just to get your number of post up wasn't it ?!? Fess up !

Patachu · Post by **Patachu** » Fri Dec 19, 2003 8:51 pm

No! It was a legitimate innuendo! I swear!

I just don't remember where I was going with it ...

that's what the free word association thread is for ain't it?

(not an attempt by xmung to up his own post count... much)

This might shock some of you, and others won't believe it . . . but I say:
DO AWAY WITH THE POST COUNTS!
They cause nothing but trouble! Ranks should be increased manually by an admin or mod when they think a user deserves a "promotion".

Though keep the post rate. The novelty hasn't worn off yet . . .

Ooooo! Shiny!

This might sound wierd, but I have to agree with Vile. Too many *people* are spamming the forums just for the sake of raising their post count.

Even if we were to do away with the post counts, the real trolls would still be up to ther crazy shenanigans (whee~!). Not knowing how many pieces of spam they've posted won't affect their adding more.

Personally, I'm kind of indifferent...
