AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the recent changes in member post count visibility and personal reflections on posting habits. One member celebrated reaching 500 posts after 2.5 years, noting that lurking doesn't contribute to post counts. Others shared their own post counts, with some feeling their numbers are excessive, while others expressed feelings of intimidation when posting. The conversation touched on the nostalgia of previous post-count ratings based on the EM spectrum, which is no longer in use. Members acknowledged the distinction between counted and uncounted posts, particularly in the General Discussion (GD) forum, and some requested stats on their uncounted contributions. Overall, the thread highlights a mix of pride, self-reflection, and camaraderie among members regarding their posting activity.

When Greg changed the members list awhile ago to show only members with 500 posts (I just looked and it appears he changed it back), I thought, hmm... how close am I to that magic number, and it turned out (at that time) I had quite a few to go to break 500. I did it this morning, and it took me about 2.5 years. I guess that doesn't make me a post whore, right ?

Posts Per Day: 0.63

Rhody... :blushing:

P.S. Make that a little over two years... I lurked for quite awhile too, and lurkers can't be contributors... it's early and I am not quite awake...

Congrats! You're definitely not a post whore, makes my 6.0 posts per day seem a little obsessive...
 
I joined 8 years ago (:eek:!) and I'm still only approaching 2000 posts. This is primarily because GD posts don't count. I remember when we used to be rated along the EM spectrum based on the post-count. I think I had made it to "microwave" before that was discontinued.
 
I joined a year earlier than you did but have only 378 as of now. Reading some of these posts make you feel very ignorant and often you are too intimidated to post anything.
 
I'm approaching 5000 posts in one year. A bit obsessive, no? :biggrin:
 
*following Rhody's logic* Let me see.. 0.25 posts/day, that is 1 post/4days... :smile: I'm definitely an old lady :smile:
Congrats Rhody :)
 
4 posts a day for seven years..does that make me into a post whore, or just a pathetic b*tch?
:confused:
 
I have 100,000 uncounted posts in GD.

That's an awesome idea, it's a shame that it is no longer in use here.

/I would be sky blue at the time of this post.

No big deal, I didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings that's all.

Evo,

I know I have spent more time lately in GD and the other uncounted forums, is there any way you can run those stats for me ? If I were a betting man I would say 2000 - 2500.

Rhody... :smile:

Just remember tencho, posts in general discussion, don't count.
