I was wondering if people just post to get their numbers up on here? When you post on what seems to be most topics and they are just meaningless posts, what would the point be? Maybe I am missing something and having a really high post count puts you in another class? It seem that when I see members with a really high post count and have not been here very long....

Generally, post count is meaningless.  It doesn't earn you any special privileges, other than more bonk smileys getting lit up and a change in your rank.

What really matters, comrade, are your opinions, insights, thoughts, etc.

I don't look at anything else.

Even if I disagree with you, I appreciate someone who takes the time to post clearly-written, error-free messages.

My apologies to folks with poor spelling or dyslexia or __________, but I evaluate and judge everyone based on (1) ability to construct a sentence, (2) ability to support claims with evidence and (3) capacity to be civil, flexible and open-minded.

Historically, some folks have been extremely verbose...but are unable to post as lengthy (or frequently) due to time constraints. Therefore, your views of certain members (who don't post much now) will be very different than mine (I remember all the content they contributed over the years).

If you are too lazy to read my post, suck my left one and read Necro's post.

It seems not, seeing as every time I respond to something you post, you reply with a pointed barb.

I have no views one way or the other. I was just curious if there was some type of motivation to reach a high post count...

No Necro, that was a sincere response. Was only trying to be optimistic.

Personally I really don't mind forum members who for whatever reason post lots as it gives me more to read.
My only problem with the forum is there is not enough posts, I quickly read all the new posts.

So many questions, stop over thinking things.

Post if you feel like commenting. I've posted a number of times in the Word association thread which is mindless fun. There are plenty of areas for serious posts and garbage posts.

I joined to learn, have fun and hang out with posters I like in general.

Not really thinking about it. Just wondered if there was a point to posting all over the place with nothing to really say....

That's the way real life is why would forums be any different.

Maybe you'd like a news site? One view point told to you with no opportunity to respond.

It should not be that hard to figure out.

Are you a quiet person in real life or do you take time to chat with strangers?

I'm not crapping on you, just trying to see your view point. It seems kind of strange for you to join a forum when people talking causes you confusion.
