Been here 6 years and have less than 3k posts. I stay because of the hilarity that ensues in some of these threads. The most recent example was the day when everyone was doing sexual threads in OT that got ridiculously out of hand and then the mods came in and locked them all. I was on the ground laughing at some of those threads. Then you get the retarded posts from certain members that makes the blood boil. I've gotten a lot of great info out of this place since I joined and I look forward to posting for years to come. I just need another 18yrs to make lifer.

yeah it's a trip. I enjoy the community, hate the trolls. They do make life amusing sometimes though.

Every once in a while, I consider getting together with a few mods, over a few beers, and subtracting from people's post counts the number of posts they've made in the official neffing thread. It'd only take 20 minutes or so; I could probably even make it a somewhat automatic process.

haha y'all should do it

SELECT member_id as X,count(*) as Y FROM post WHERE thread_id=237379 GROUP BY X;
FOR EACH ROW;
UPDATE user SET post_count = post_count - Y WHERE member_id = X;
DONE

I would lose zero posts.

I think you and I have the same registration month. Just checking on that by posting. Round-about way, you say? Yer-ah heck!

I have 10,000 more posts than you! Slacker. /shakes head in disappointment

yes but destrekor's wpp count is something like 28x the average member wpp.

(word per post)

:D

It looks like I'm suddenly just under 2x his total post count, but I'd wager that I'm responsible for less verbiage.

I would love to see that. The tears would be yummy.

Here for 10 years but only just recently turned Diamond.
Usually don't have much to say but I read the shit out of these forums.

Yea same here.

I try to avoid posts that don't add to the conversation, so I don't rack up the post counts some people on here do.

Most of my posts probably came from me bumping my FS threads.

I probably have one of the lowest posts/day average. Been here since before day one. I read ATOT twice a day, but usually don't have anything intelligent to say.....

quit giving that cockwaffle attention.

You guys are just feeding him the attention he wants. Just ignore the idiot and he'll float back down the toilet.

Yeah, I've been here long enough (although, not as long as many) to know that they come and go. They are annoying but they will pass through. Only the rare few can sustain a >20 ppd over the years.

Back in the day there was a lot more activity but this is still a great place to hang.
