Post counts

BabyRider · 04-27-2006, 11:50 AM

OK, I'm not afraid to do this. The topic is being beat to hell and back in the other thread, and no one is coming up with a solution. So, let's see what we get, and what admin will do about it.

How many posts do you have to have to not be a "newbie" anymore? Or is it the time elapsed from when you joined? Im stuck in "limbo" and need some help, people! I'll just die if I dont get an answer!

You're a wizened old crone as far as newbies go.

I don't really give a rat's patooty about post counts, but I thought I'd be obnoxious and vote for the second option.

Not really controversy, Grey, just some folks hashing out about post counts, but nothing being done about it. So I figured, heck, just go ahead and post a durn poll. Worst that can happen is admin comes in and says, "BR, mind your own f-ing business." At which point I will subject myself to a flogging and a time-out in the corner.

I like to see the post count because it helps me keep a reign on me. I seek balance in my life and FG is too addictive to me to not keep a check on my posting time.

Also, by comparing my numbers to others I get a healthier view of what I'm doing here.

I say: "KEEP THEM!"

Hi Sojo! I haven't seen you lately. How are things?

Bunnygirl wants it to be an option, and that's good enough for me.

I just want to say though, folks, that except for the times when this
sort of thing comes up, I never even look at post counts. I couldn't
tell you what mine is right now, even. Maybe it's baby boomer vision
or something, but I look at the post content, and if my eyes travel
to the left a bit, I look at maybe a new avatar, a new tag line or
something, the post count number is inconsequential. I am sorry,
(what am I saying no I'm not) that's just the way it is!!

Oh crap, that didn't occur to me when I voted. Chonsi, if you see this, I hope you realize that I only have two brain cells to rub together and didn't mean this seriously.
