Listen folks, I want an absolutely massive post count. How on Earth do some of you people do it???
ShibbOleth springs to mind, simply 'cos he became a member the same time as me, but has a mightily impressive post count.
I know it shouldn’t matter (quality vs quantity an’ all that)
But hey, I’m a superficial(sp?)guy.
ummm… post more often?
Wiseguy Huh 
No, what I mean is how do people get such a high post count over a short period. I know they post but, are you selective, do you post great essays, one liners, do you reply to every new post, or only ones of personal interest.
Make a typo in a post, and spend three more correcting it. Works for me, and I still screw up coding.
So if I keep asking questions like this, It works, huh?
Well, okay, I know that I don’t have a high post count, but I know that a lot of the people that do have jobs where pretty much all the do is surf on Straight Dope. This way, they can do a lot of posts in one day.
I have no idea.
You could always run naked through threads like people do here - pointless, yet makes for interesting reading 
It’s a gift. You have it or you don’t.
Ahh, that does explain a lot.
I have a job where we get all of 1 hour a day to use the internet as we please, and I wouldn’t wanna post at work anyway (big brother, and all that shit).
Still I do use it at home.
(this post obviously helps!)
That’s me!
I love my job!
Magic.
Those with high post counts gained over a short period of time did it by hiring Magical Posting Bunnies.
The problem with Magical Posting Bunnies is that they aren’t very loyal. The only way you can get them to work for you is by making them salads the way they like them. They only like a certain strain of carrot, you see, which happens to be very hard to come by. It’s only grown in one remote area of southwestern Nebraska. You have to get hold of some of these carrots, as well as nice Romaine lettuce and bean sprouts, and make the Magical Posting Bunnies their favorite type of salad at least once a week. I hear handy does so well by feeding the bunnies every day, can you imagine? He must have figured out how to grow the special carrots himself (or else he lives in southwestern Nebraska and they grow in his backyard already). If you don’t make the salads right or you don’t give them the carrots, the Magical Posting Bunnies get mad at you and lower your post count in the night. Tragic, really.
I have no idea what I’m talking about.
::stands up, puts her hat on, walks away::
Hey! Are you talkin’ about me?
First, I don’t even even exist.
Second, when I do exist I type very fast.
Fifth, I post a lot of really mundane, pointless stuff.
Sixth, I talk too much.
Seventh, I am logged on a lot, doing other mundane stuff, for which I am paid. I often post while something else is “happening” in the background. But you can’t see that.
Eighth, hire the magic bunnies, they’re well worth the investment. You know you want to.
Ninth, if you really want to inflate your post count, go over to Great Debates and jump into one of those unwinnable, blathering contests and make unsupportable comments. Then make fun of the people who pick apart your comments. [sub]I haven’t done this yet, but I’ve seen it works for others. GD, it is a silly place.[/sub]
Tenth, you can flirt with the other Dopers. That’s what I do whenever alice_in_wonderland runs naked through a thread. Or whenever ladyfoxfyre shows up.
[sub]Don’t sweat it, you can have my post count if you want. And quality is more important than quality, by far. [/sub]
Read and post a lot. Find threads that you can post to several times. Like the Two word thread, and the qoute anything thread. But I think both of these are closed, so you will have to find others (and yes, they are out there).
By th way, ShibbOleth, you and I all joined in July, and there is a big difference in all of our post counts.
I think you have made a sort of mistake kiddo!
PS, how in crikey do you make small letters?
All my mistakes are purely intentional. And to see how anything is done, look at the stuff in the brackets when you quote them. Practice this in ATMB though, until you get it right.
[sup]PS I am working on a problem at work right now that is [/sup] [sub] giving me a headache. Coming on the boards helps me shift my attention so that I can look a the problem afresh and hopefully see a solution.[/sub]
Also, I am not sure whether being mentioned in your OP is flattering or downright embarassing. I am leaning towards the latter.
small letters:
(sub) small letter (/sub)
except use brackets in place of the parenthesis.
Yep. But like ShibbOleth said, practice in ATMB. That is what it is there for.
