I've always aimed for 100 posts, and this post is my 100th now.
So I ask this question - what are all your goals?
My next is 1000 - very far off, but that puts me as a veteran to this webboard,
which would be fun.

Draw the line with fire,
Cross it with ice,
Banish the fiery sun,
And bring on the silent moon.
I think you'll find you would get a lot more respect for being a person who consistently makes valid points and offers valuable advice... having a large number of posts does not necessarily mean that you are an interesting or pleasant correspondent.
Remember, too, that the recorded number of posts a person makes can be misleading because the majority of those posts may have been on a different board. Somebody could talk endlessly about Ares (bleh!) and then write one post on the EV developers' board. If you're going to be swayed by the number of posts they've got, you might see their post and think that the person was something of an authority because he's got 743 posts... when actually, he could know less than nothing about EV(O).

Overawe me? You wait till you get my password fixed, and I'll show you just how annoying us 'old garts' can be...... I have about 800, have never posted in any other board (except a few in B&
, yet I'm a total *** and my karma frequently goes into dives, hence I am nowhere near the level of Samurai, rooster, or Skyblade...
In other words, your number of posts means.... dit-squat, nothing, zip, zero, and is utterly meaningless...
Thank you, have a nice day...

A long time ago, on a board far away, there was a guy named OctoberFost. OctoberFost like to brag about his posts, since he had over 2,000 posts. At that time, having 2,000 posts was very good. But he bragged so much that andrew welch got ****** ***, and deleted all his posts. So OctoberFost had 0.
Don't brag.

No, that counts as a little bit obsessive :)! I only reply to things that I feel I can add to constructively, and often offer help when it's asked for - but it doesn't do much to the karma :frown:. I only post on this board, and just a few on the EV/EVN ones.. and I don't see it as something to brag about even! As has been said, large numbers may come principally from other boards, or B&B;, I don't know which is worse.. not to mention they may come from all the RPG things!
My aim is 100, also my website for EV (o,n) aim is 1000 we are on about 214 now so please help me beat it:

"Talking" to someone with lots of posts shouldn't overawe you. They've simply been around longer than you have; it doesn't mean they're better than you in any way. (Of course, in my case, it does mean that... 
But that's beside the point.) But, like people have said, the person is what counts -- and, like VA said, people may post in many different forums. (For example, only about 300-400 of my posts are on this board. 
A vast majority of my posts are on Banter & Brawl...)

Excuse me, Jude, but where's the bad language?
I just scanned the whole thing and didn't thing a single bad word. ?
PS: It strikes me as odd that anybody cares about language these days. Nice to
see that such people exist out there, though.

Several of the messages have been edited - not all by their original authors... I guess the offensive stuff was snipped. I think it's good that we have an established moral standard here; there's enough places on the internet where you can play at anarchy... and it costs nothing to be polite.

I'd like to get to 2,000, which shouldn't be very long with how much I post. But again, numbers don't matter...

And it makes me sad how few people care about using language properly. Normally when I hear bad language, it tells me that person has no self-control, is impolite, etc. Our use of language is very important, even though few people realize it these days... :frown:
Did someone say I posted a lot? 
I have slowed down to about twenty to thirty posts a day since I've been putting most of my time into the new website I'm building. But when I'm through, I'll be back to!

I agree with a lot of what's been said, especially VoinianAmbassador's take on this. Personally, my goal is to simply be respected among the community here. IMO, this is done by being friendly & helpful and posting intelligently & originally. I feel it's important to be yourself. Either way, congrats on reaching your original posting goal.
