Alright last night I lost more posts. I'm starting to notice a little trend when I near 1000. I don't know what it is, if mods are toying with me, if a thread got deleted. It's just really annoying. If someone is targeting me, you win. Oh well, I have more posting to do.
Not that this really matters, it's just disconcerting.

No sympathy, dude. My count drops now and again too.
Besides, you are going to make it to 1,000 handily.

SO post-pruning is becoming a regular thing? Maybe the key is to post in obscure threads...

The obscure threads are probably the ones getting the ax. Last time, it was threads with no recent activity...

Hey 985...you're getting closer.
Hmm...someone will have to delete a few more threads you posted on to keep you from reaching 1000.
Yeah...it's a conspirasy, but you didn't hear that from me.

I admit it... I deleted a whole bunch of threads that I started... just to see what Talyn would say... :poke:

That's pretty funny, actually.... whatever you do don't delete Vanity.
And by that I mean... go ahead and delete Vanity.

17.9% of grinner's total (if I were counting, which I am not -- apparently others here can do that for you).

Yeah...and some of us have deflated recently. I remember when I was in the top ten, now I can't seem to get up that high.

Quality Matters More
Dude, these are low quality posts. I really don't take the post count all that seriously because a lot of it is games and vanity like this thread is turning into.
There's a lot that doesn't have much information value or organizational value. Judged on that basis:
Do I care about games.... not at all.
Do I care about OT-ville... well, I've definitely found some good stuff thereby.
Do I count OT News... you bet. I get some the weirdest news here.
Humor counts.
Friendly welcomes to newbies counts.
But all in all, I don't find meaningless posts all that valuable. I respect grinner's posts because aside from the game threads and "vanity", he posts some really good and interesting stuff. G_S has some phenomenal humor (so does Stellar). Digger, MediaSavant, Cosmic Theorist, and vhsiv have some awesome ratings and network input.
I think developing a reputation for good posts trumps the number anyday.

besides... vanity only counts for 183 posts... and most of those are cheerleading posts of :woohoo:

post counts are important because we're in an epic battle to see how much time we have on our hands.

Well said. I like the informative posts that DB mentioned, but I also have fun with the weird humor posts, like Cat Vomit and such.
