> [@](#): > > jumpin horny toads! how’d I get past 500 without noticing it? Should I feel happy? I don’t know where you think you get off, but no one is allowed to hit 500 posts without posting a little party thingie in MPSIMS and then having other people post “why do people care about their posts” messages and… etc etc. I hereby declare you at 499 posts until you fix this situation. * * * “I guess one person can make a difference, although most of the time they probably shouldn’t.” ---

Shayna, I don’t know about here, but on the other three UBB boards that I post to, this is how it works: The number next to your post is the total number of posts you’ve made so far. When you post a new reply to a thread, all of the other posts you’ve made update to the right count. But, if you go post a bunch on other threads, and don’t come back to this one, the count will not change. It only changes on threads that you post to. Does that make sense? * * * [Cessandra](http://www.angelfire.com/tx3/miscjunk/profile.html) I would’ve gotten away with it, too, if it weren’t for those meddling kids! ---

This should elevate my post count (Part 2). Hey, I just discovered “flood control”. You cannot post twice within 60 seconds. How will I ever catch up? * * * Not so fast, you mucko! ---

And that wasn’t just an attempt to pad my post count. Just a funny line that came to me after posting the first one. And this isn’t such an attempt either, just explaining that the first one wasn’t. Got that? ---

My post count is too low. I look too much like a newbie, or casual user. Now, how should I go about getting those high posts counts. I got it, I’ll say something stupid, have **DavidB** point it out, cry foul, call him names, post in all the threads about how big a meanie DavidB is, etc. etc. Yep, that’s the ticket ---
