I mean... seeing 668 posts under your name just doesn;t carry the same weight, since you posted twice after this one.

Yeah, I know. Which is why I mentioned which post number it actually was in the post itself...

Which is good, because I didn't get the joke before and if you hadn't I'd be totally lost.

Yeah, well, I was catching up with you for a long time. I probably would have, too, if I ever posted in the UF boards more than once per thread.

Thoughts of the moment, and such

I noticed. On looking around a bit, I realized that the only person on the boards with a higher post count than me is Gryph (who posts three times to my one). Zoner was ahead of me, but he hasn't been posting lately.

Not that I really care; post count dicksize is about as juvenile as you can get, superceding even "first post" competitions. The only reason I was paying attention to my post count at all was because, since I was in the 200's before I even registered the post count feature (thus missing any special comment on posts 42 and 69), I wanted to say something when I got to 666. Now that I've passed that milestone, I probably won't even look except to periodically check if I've hit 4 digits yet.

I remember that back when I hung around on the Keenspot/Keenspace forums on a regular basis, there was a long discussion arising because of post counts. There, it only made slightly more sense; they had a ranking system based off of how many posts you had under your belt. So if you had no life, you could make yourself feel better by posting to the forums constantly. Actually, I think that described a lot of people who posted there.

I believe both ultimatebb and ikonboard have that particular misfeature. I prefer when said "ranks" are more sarcastic and insulting as you progress further, from, say, "Newbie" (0 - 50 posts) to "Officially Needs To Get A Life" (250+). (That's what I remember of the ranking system at wilwheaton.net's "soapbox" forum, which ran on ikonboard, and has been dead for some time.) ikonboard also adds little balls under your handle on the board, each one representing 50 posts, and denoting your rank thusly.

Personally, I fail to see any significance to post count; I'm mostly just amused at seeing my own, and fail to see any reason to give a damn about anyone else's.

Actually, the titles are user definable. I hang out on a Roller coaster sim site that uses it, and both the 'rank names' and the posts per rank are user defineable.

Keenwhatever's boards all run off UBB. I actually don't much like that style of board - the reply trees simply don't exist, so any given thread winds up with lots of posts that have to have references hunted down. Which is part of the reason why I haven't bothered to register for MegaTokyo's boards.

If I was ever to get my own discussion board (I've considered it more than once), I'd probably shoot for DCForum. There was a free script a while ago that I used with some of the same features, but it had some serious faults and was a little buggy besides.

It's more about what you post than how often you post it. Personally, I just find post counts amusing; you can tell the people who haven't been doing anything but hunting for topics to reply to. Also, I'm waiting to get to 666 myself. ;>
