From our friends at www.despair.com: -
Excuse my ignorance, but what's a "DL"?
But surely frequency of posting is not a particularly telling statistic? Doesn't it depend more on what and where you post? I've recently started playing PBEM, which of course increases posting rates quite considerably through the tracking threads. This doesn't necessarily mean you are contributing more to the community.
Back to topic - if the consensus of opinion is that newer members are being scared off by a perceived "quasi-elite", perhaps Apolyton should look at opening a new forum specifically for newbs to get acquainted with things.So if you meet me have some courtesy, have some sympathy and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse, or I'll lay your soul to waste

Ah I see, thanks. So basically it's an excuse for poly elitists to form a little club to get their post tallies up

not quite sure how a DL would get someones post count up
also a bit lost on the poly elitists bit?
there are lots of great forums here, lots of different threads, and a vaste array of opinions, games, stories, and community all over the shop... am I missing the pointComment

Well, the DL dance has become a tradition, and posts don't count in the OTF, so it doesn't really matter.Comment

Its an elitist club, but doesn't serve to boost post counts. Alas.Originally posted by Aqualung71

I think the "Elitism" is pretty much confined to the OTF. And the only thing you need to get accepted down there is a bit of perserverance and a high ego/brains ratio.Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?

I never got the DL dance when i first posted in OT.
But then I think I was a prince when I first posted there.
Cause I actually joined poly to post about Civ, wonder of wonders."A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human. To become human, is what this individual person, has been created for.” Martin BuberComment

Ego: sure, need lots of it
Brains :
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God? - EpicurusComment

Brains definately help. See MtG in a debate if you want to see how effective intelligence can be. But ego is nice to have there too.I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).Comment

Do I count as a n00b?
Yes, Honghu might be a n00b, but I still have close to 2.3K posts in a little over a year.
Plus I post mainly OT now, so my ppd would be far higher if I did not.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.
