why do people announce thier post count?
 

and even worse why do people reply " Congrats!!"

seriously, who gives a shit if you have 100,000 post or 100 post, what the hell does it mater AND WHY DO YOU FEEL THE NEED TO ANNOUNCE IT. All you guys do is clutter up the board. Who cares if this is your 2000 post, hell if this what you posting for your 2000th time it doesn't say much about your other 1999 post.


GFY can we start a new section called " Look at me! I just made my ____ post!" and everyone can post there every time they make it to 1000, 2000, etc...

This is just as bad as the idiots who post " Great domains for sale" and it is stupid shit like nastywildteengirls.com and you asking like 5K for it... and yet again more idiots reply " great domains, good luck!" what's up with that?

What is wrong with you people ?

All about branding..postcount ++

human nature on a message board...

Because their wombats, 2cents.

The answer to both why do people announce thier post count, and even worse why do people reply congrats is...to increase their post count.

:thumbsup

tradition/conditioning

branding what?.... is the question.

I would think people put more emphises on the context of your post vs. the shear number of post you make.

But i am not even talking about people who post a lot, just why everyone feels the need to annouce their total every time they make it to a number with 000 on the end.

lol i like that answer thanks for the laugh :)

Whoops sorry... Didt see the 'Why do" part :)

It doesn't really matter after a certian amount,especially after a few k,it's about getting sig views.Annoying as it seems

just to annoy you homie...


PS: the summer slowdown sucks huh!? ;-)

Great point Will. :)

so basically, you run out of things to say to make post to get sig views so when post ending in "000" come around you get a gimmie since you dont have to think about what to post. Why not just get a post bot and have random stupid shit like juicy ?

actually my sales sucked all day because it rained in Africa.

50..;...

exactly! :thumbsup

because i'm not enough

and I thought it was bad today because of the riots in Latvia!

:pimp

I do it because I have no real friends and i need the attention!

My fellow GFY'ers are my only friends :(

post count doesnt mean much its what you have in the bank that counts..

now see my sig and start

lol i bet 95% of the people here have a higher number post count vs the number of dollars they have in the bank.

I promise you won't hear a peep out of me until 30k :D


Seriously... 9k, wft is that?
13k? Who fucking CARES... IDIOT

Everyone who's cool knows that 10k, 20k, 30k, 50k, 100k are the ONLY posts deserving of a new thread.

The rest of you are all tards.

oh shit nowe that was funny I dont doubt it.:1orglaugh only the smart ones send me traffic thats a fact

I agree they are completely pointless...

Whereas the "50..." posts are.....

I a tard. :1orglaugh You'll probably be hearing from me all the way there.
I think 75k deserves some notice too.

Okay 75k is in.

But 17k? Forget it. Only people with high foreheads will rave about 17k. :1orglaugh

Will, congrats on your 2,718th post! Mad props dude!

Agree! :thumbsup

As a programming refinement - all post counts should be removed and all posts of one sentence or phrase should be auto-deleted. :pimp

That's going to complicate life for some folks - they can barely compose a sentence. :winkwink:

hey thanks for noticing, but that is about the only way you will ever see my name associated with my post count - from someone else posting it.

When i hit 5K i am going to ask them to reset it. :winkwink:

honestly I dont know, I never have.
as far as congrats go tho, it's just polite.
:2 cents:

its a guaranteed way to get your thread bumped and your sig seen
see sig

maybe on a forum full of a bunch of kids , but the other forums i goto , both adult, geek and general , it's very rare to see anyone saying " i just made X posts" or if there is a post on that the normal reply is " get a life " there is no congrats or job well done crap

on forums i don't give a fuck about posts you've made , your sig or any other crap , content of the post is what matters , but sadly around this joint all i see is a bunch of tossers

you need atleast 9621 more posts to matter or sell your sig

great domains... good luck

i dont see it on any other boards either. good points. If we could delete 95% of the bullshit here it would be a lot more resourcefull site, but i know the hahahahahahahahahas get the page views which gets the banners spots.... :Oh crap and we have to waste time combing through the bullshit to get to the good, business related, informative posts.

well considering that i registered in Jan 2005 , if i was here to sell my sig i would've spammed the hell out of the joint by now

They do it just for the post count

2->3
 

1. 800 posts!
2. bump
3. check my sig

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

congrats to theasldk jgasld jkdagdslka

i can't wait till my 1000 post, i'll dedicate it to you homie!

will have any "teamclickcash" t-shirts ?

we got nothing better to do!

I'd hit it:2 cents:

branding is great.....i love a post count thead.
