New Post Count Levels

[Ben Kenobi]

Well, I'm technically a majority OT poster, though I post ontopic as well.

I'd easily be an Emperor if the OT posts counted, but I think that we get better discussions when posts don't count and the motivations for spamming disappear.

I beg to differ. I haven't noticed any increase in the quality of OT posts... the only thing that axing post counts seems to have accomplished is to get rid of 'spam-threads' such as the coffee shop and word association... the in-thread spam of debate threads seems to be at just about the same levels as ever before.

I beg to differ DC... it has also gotten rid of much of the in thread spam of debated threads. Yeah... there will always be some... but it is far less than it used it to be.

And unlike you... I have to read all of it... so I know

[Tuberski]

There isn't a whole lot of in-thread spam in the OT. some, to a point but people are warned when it gets out of hand.

The mod posting above me does a fine job, he caught me spamming when I didn't really realize I was.

Spam threads are given a short life span usually no more than a page.

I persoanlly look for the locked thread everytime I sign on just to read the spam.

A lot of it is quite funny.

ACK!

[Skanky Burns]

Which is the major shame with the war on spam.
Spam is entertaining, even if you aren't participating. Generally.

[Imran Siddiqui]

I would hate to think what my real post count is, but probably above anyone else's

*cough*

Oh sorry, something in my throat .

Though Ming would kick both of our asses .

[Ecthy]

I have a theory that Ming's post count equals the sum of all other post counts.

[FrustratedPoet]

That's not a theory that takes a long time to disprove.

[duke o' york]

No, Ming's postcount is that of the person closest to his plus the average postcount of all members to the power of 1/n, where n is a number generated by Civ 3's random number generator. So it could be er, anything.

Making a slight error in typing made me wonder how many times the many threads like this have post**** instead of postcount.

[Ecthy]

postcnut?

[duke o' york]

To the best of my knowledge, I am the highest ranking member of the English royal family to visit Apolyton so the Cnut postcnut will be zero.

[Ecthy]

You're a member of the English royal family?

[duke o' york]

Er, no. Duke of York is the title given to the second son of the ruling monarch in the same way that the heir has the title Prince of Wales. So when the Queen snuffs it then Prince William will become Prince of Wales and Prince Harry would become Duke of York.

Mind you, I'm named after the famous general with the unique military strategy celebrated in the childrens song.

[Ecthy]

Elaborate...

[DrSpike]

I really don't think you should brag about having 10,000 men.
