It's funny. You see people with large amounts of posts, and then you read half the topics they post about. The content has absolutely nothing to do with anything. Do post counts really make you feel that superior to everyone else? Or are you that bored at work that you feel the need to make these posts?

I dunno, I don't mean to rag on anyone in specific, but I'd personally rather have 50 posts talking about useful things than 10,000 and post about useless drivel.

Over the course of my 11,000+ posts, I've argued about geo-poltics, education, healthcare, EQ, started an EQ guild of posters from this board, gun controll, age of consent, music, art, film, mathmatics, god (or the lack thereof), government, war, poverty, love, hate, gay marrige, capital punishment, abortion, literature, fencing, sports, investing, tactical warfare, strategic warfare, espionage, juggling, dogs vs cats, cars, motorcycles, if FFXI players are technically human, new forum code, new forum names, every major SCOTUS decision of the last three years, 9-11, terrorism, philosophy, poker, realtionships, drugs, drinking, rick james, and a ******* partridge in a pear tree.

Oh, and of course the ever popular insecure poster on an internet message board telling me how silly it is to post on an internet message board.

Oh and spelling. A good deal about spelling.


It's funny. You see people with large amounts of posts, and then you read half the topics they post about. The content has absolutely nothing to do with anything.


When you go back and read all of someones posting content, then you can comment on the quality of it. Since I had the spare time, I read all of yours. Not impressive.



Do post counts really make you feel that superior to everyone else?


No, but posts like yours do.


I dunno, I don't mean to rag on anyone in specific, but I'd personally rather have 50 posts talking about useful things than 10,000 and post about useless drivel.


Yeah, I'd like to see you get to 50 posts talking about something usefull, too.

Give me a ring around November '09 when you're getting close.

Funny how you automatically think I'm takling about you. When in fact like I stated, I wasn't talking about anyone. I get bored at work myself, so I visit these boards as a escape from work to see what everyone's up to. But when I see pointless posts (Which I will use you as an example) about abortion's, it makes me wonder if your running out of useful things to talk about.

There's no doubt that in your 11,000+ posts that you've talked about interesting or important things, but it seems lately your just trying to add to your post count without having anything of relevance to say.

And not once did I say all my posts were something of dire importance, however I try to make all my posts as helpful/useful as possble and not talk about things that people really couldn't care less about.

I didn't.

Considering there are two posters with 10K+ plus posts, though, I figured I was qualified to defend Jophiel too.


When in fact like I stated, I wasn't talking about anyone.


Yes, that was implied. As was the fact that you weren't talking about anything.

Since when did the psychological impact of abortion become pointless? You have an odd set of qualifications for meaning, Corky.

Why would I want to add to my post count? Do you really think I'm going on the theory that 12k posts will really impress the groupies, where 11.5k posts just get's me the occasional roadie leftover?

Think before you post.

I care about the psychological impact of abortion on women. Don't make the mistake of assuming that because you don't care something, that no one does.

This isn't your private circle jerk board, it's a free exchange of ideas.

Showin up without ideas probably makes it seem pretty boring, so I can't help you there.

Having mentioned the 10,000 posts was merely as a reference, it has nothing to do with either of the two posters that have that status. There are many posters that have 50 posts but they don't automatically assume that I'm talking about them.

I thought long and hard before I posted, and I suspected this was the response I would receive. You getting to 11k+ posts no doubt put a little boost in your already inflamed ego. Why would you want to add more to it? Why wouldn't you? Just today alone you posted 3 seperate yet equally pointless posts about "Losing limbs", "Gay parents", and "Abortion". So maybe your the one who should think before the post?

Again, you fail to actually come up with an intelligent response other than trying to hurt my feelings. Haven't you figured it out yet? It doesn't work.

They should put that on a placard in the House and Senate, minus the word board of course.

I think we should post our usless drivel in small font. That way it will take up less space on Alla's.

Ok, just to get this straight, losing limbs, having gay parents, and abortion are all pointless topics that no one care about, but the fact that there are posts on this OOT board that you find pointless is a matter of great concern and deserves to be discussed thoroughly in its own thread.

Thanks for the heads up.

I love it! And that way you can post more useless stuff and it will only take up the room of a regular post! Genius!

Oh, I meant no direction towards the posts Smash made, like I originally posted, but when he got defensive, I decided to make reference how his posts fall into that catagory.

Seems to me that people who accuse high-poster-counters of inflating their ego actually have low self esteem and post-count envy themselves.


By the way, who WERE you talking about with 10k+ posts then? The great picket fence of china?

Don't try to play it off like you weren't talking about smash. Just makes you look sad.

Can you not read? I said I was using it as REFERNCE! As in using from one extreme (50 posts) to another (10,000). So I DEFINITALLTY wasn't talking about Smash. Unless someone talks about something plain ignorant then I have the RESPECT to leave them be.

My post was talking about ALL the useless posts out there (Sure, including this one if you want to go so far), but to accuse me of **** I didn't even do, or people I supposedly accuse just because they fall into a catagory to having 10k+ posts? Like I said, I made reference to people with 50 posts, do you see everyone with 50 posts comming bashing my question? No, because it would seem they have something you lack... maturity. Sorry, won't make that mistake again.

Just adding something to this. Nothing against or for anyone.

But look at Smash's Karma. 3.04
If he'd had posted 11k+ posts that were stupid or inflammatory then he'd have been voted much lower.
I also realize that Fizzel may have not intended Smash but you did infer that someone with 10k+ posts got to that point by padding. True Smash has padded. I have too. Anyone who's played the game Last has as well. Nothing wrong with that in my opinion.
I do agree with you Fizzel that it's more important to have 50 posts that are meaningful, intelligent and productive to the enjoyment of everyone on this site then 10,000+ that suck. While I may not agree with all of Smash's beliefs and posts I do give credit. He's an intelligent and educated person. (I'm assuming based on the posts of his I've read.) And he's added alot to this site based on those 11,000+ posts.
Just a question Fizzel based on something you said.

Why do you care? If it offends you or you think it's irrellivent or stupid then either ignore it and move on or rate it down. Not based on personal feelings for people with 10,000+ posts but based on that specific post.

Umm...I doubt he's ever thought about his Karma before posting.

Im only posting because of EQdom. You originally put his post karma as 4.52 or something like that. I was gonna same something, a day past and now I look at it again and you changed your post before anyone could laugh at your stupidity.
