Multitasking: Simultaneously upping my post count (which passed 1000 before the boards went down) and complimenting on the way Crunchy Frog made me do my 15th spittake (I really don’t get them often… really!)
snicker, snicker, snicker
Yer all right!
Post count is nothing.
What counts is registration date.
You’ve found us out - all within 5 posts! :rolleyes: (Note to Pixiegrrl - this is the reason newbies are often not taken seriously. Please be the example and prove us wrong.)
Why, yes, actually, I do have an enormous…
post count.

Ahem… far be it for me to cough pad cough my own measily post count with a vanity link to one of my first OPs, which addressed the post count question by framing it in terms of a Darwinian struggle.
Dopers like numbers.
kabbes’ sig has a link to great thread demonstrating just this.
Mmmm…factual information…

Oops
Very interesting. You disappear, months go by, posts are made, the board crashes, posts are lost, and now you show back up all cheery. Did we ever figure out who the hacker was?
Get a rope and a 120 watt bulb. We’re gonna interrogate us a “high-poster”. Thought he was above the rest of us. Thought he could just do whatever he wanted cause he was born with a silver post in his mouth. Couldn’t take the idea of the little gut getting ahead, huh? Admit it!!! You planned the whole thing!!! Your sick, demented mind came up with this scheme to spite the rest of us! Jealousy is weakness! You went too far this time. . .
I was preparing my thousandth post when this all went down. Just another example of “The Man” tryin’ to keep me down (in posts that is). It’ll never work. I’ll fight until I own a grand of my own. Of course when I get there they’ll probably move the whole system off the post standard just to keep me out of their little world. I’m onto you. I’m onto you all . . .

What actually increases the post count number? As I look to replys to threads going on here, I see that my post count remains the same.
oh crap, I just saw that instead of 356, my last one said 358
Your post count is stored in a single spot with some other information, such as your sig line. It’s only stored once, as opposed to in every post you’ve made. Therefore, when your post count is incremented (or you change your sig), the change is reflected in every one of your posts, seemingly retroactively.
Was that your question?
That was indeed my question.

You missed the part about me leaving in a snit!
Hmmmm, we seem to have established my motive. I suspect that everybody who uses the net has the opportunity, whether they know it or not. All we need is the means…
Nah, Crunchy Frog, Clydesdales say things like, “He must be hung like handy.”
Esprix: I’m beginning to wonder if there isn’t a SUV parked somewhere near you. Or maybe a red sports car with a long hood…
Post count to me, since I lost my entire post count in the Hacking Weasels™ episode, has several different meanings.[ul]
[li]The poster actually has something relevant to add to a lot of discussions.[/li][li]The poster loves to jump into threads and add something somewhat relevant but inane (mea culpa)[/li][li]The poster loves to participate in silly hijacks (again, mea culpa)[/li][li]The poster views a high count somewhat like picking a large and interestingly shaped booger: not necessarily something you want to show off, but if others see it and wonder, the picker does have bragging rights (what I aspire to).[/li][/ul]
I wish I had a high post count.
I’m not sure that is the only rule.
Some folks on this board seem to be obsessed with slight misspellings or commonly misused words.
I was dragged off into the pit for ending sentences like this ~
I wish I could continue to post on this board, but find some way to make my post count never go above one.
As a form of protest, or maybe have my post count go into negative numbers.
:rolleyes:
Come on Esprix, the length of the post doesn’t count. You know that.
YEAH! I DO!
But if one of you geniuses could show me how to use this thing, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks.
