I like to keep track of my post count thingy....

I liked doing that too when I hadn't been here that long. I thought it was pretty cool that I was catching up to some of the older more respected members here. I haven't done that in forever though. I think I might see where I stand now.

Page 9 for the record.

That was always cool. It seems that there are a lot of members who joined within a few months of me that are in my neighborhood of post count. But seeing some of the other members that are around me, maybe my post quality could use a little bump.

Looks like I'm only a page behind you, Loon.

See sig, even though I'm a couple hundred over that from the last couple weeks. You've certainly been here a while. "Old" to newer members like me, "young" to the really old guys.
 
What makes a good member isn't number of posts, it's the quality. Things like saying "I have 200 post!!!1 I'm now a Senior!!!11!1" is just going to start a rant-fest. Mabey my idea on how the quality of posts can be calculated will help:

Great- Everything you type is pure 100% perfect. Easy to understand, great grammar and spelling. Is always something that either is helpful or entertaining. Doesn't break rules.

Good- Is usually helpful, easy to understand, spelling and grammar are good. Keeps within the rules.


Neutral- Has decent spelling and grammar. follows the rules most of the time. Occasionally messes up but doesn't get in much trouble for it. Describes me.

Poor- Almost never makes any good quality posts. Gets ranted pretty often. Has many referrals and/or infractions. Has problems with language. t1P3s Lik3 tIS!!1!1

Banned- Self explanatory.

Me and you are about on the same track, I've only been here for about a year and a half and I'm not that far ahead you in posts.

About the only thing I don't agree with is the grammar bits. I, for one, am not very good at using commas and semicolons etc etc. As a matter of fact that previous sentence probably isn't done correctly. As long as I get the gist of what you're trying to say I don't really mind mistakes like that.

Spelling mistakes on the other hand are a whole other thing. Pretty much every web browser has an automatic spell check in it.
 
Spelling mistakes are pretty much inexcusable in this day and age. Unless you are using IE6, in which case I need to ask what the hell is wrong with you?

Grammar is a hit and miss thing. I don't mind comma usage like you just did Loon, but some people have no idea what a comma means it seems. There is a thread where I ranted about it in length, though it mostly comes down to comma usage like so -

I went, out to the place and there was stuff, though. Thus we all did something, about it but not quite sure what...

Just think if you would pause there when you are speaking, but not a pause to catch your thoughts. :p

This thread or what we're discussing?

This thread. As far as I can tell, he's talking about something every active member eventually goes through, and from what other people are saying, it sounds like they're not surprised he's making a near-pointless thread.

Am I missing something?

Nope. Even though this isn't the best of threads its been made and its sparked up some conversation which is what we need around here. As well as getting some of us Premiumites out of the premo forum and back into the general population.:lol:

Not missing a thing at all.

The premonites jacked the thread a bit and now it has a worthwhile conversation going on it. Which we desperately need outside the Premo forum.

Yeah. Me, you, Turbo Lag, Bram, UnoMoto and to a lesser extent OZZY, Exigeracer and Diablo are in similar places. Class of '06 maybe?

That's a pretty cool way to look at it.👍

EDIT: Idea! We should make a thread asking all the 'old/Senior' members of '06 to post in it so we can see who's in our class.

At the risk of sounding cliché: the next time you post, decide whether you've actually got something to say or if you've just got to say something.

Yep, i usually type my post half way, and think to myself, whats the point of this post and usually dont post, ive been trying to cut down on my posting a fair bit too. Over this holidays ive been posting like 10 times a day.
 
TsukubaTrueno
Ahaha. Sorry for me being a n00bsauce, but I feel awesome for being a "senior member". :) Ehehe.
Click to expand...
The point of this thread is...?

Surely a "Senior Member" knows what threads aren't worth starting? :dopey:


(while we're all "on" the topic of post rates, 3700 posts in 3 years 9 months. Eat that.)

Damnit didnt notice this earlier :lol: Id join 👍 You and me have been both having about the same posts, and same PPD too.

@ Kory: Hell yeah id like this thread
 
Here is a post from a class o' twenty oh sicks memra:

I post stuff because I fancy the idea of more than one person reading something I probably wrote. I realized that that doesn't happen here either. :lol: 800-somethingish posts full of mostly waste imo, except when I first joined and created my "Hidden Things" thread in the GT2 forum. I'd love to turn you on.
 
*McLaren*
13,900 in 3 years, 6 months....Yeah, not something many of us should be proud of.
Click to expand...

:lol: Yes, you really are too attached to GTP, maybe you need GTP to shut down to keep your post count low.... :p
But still, no one can beat Dave A's post count..... 23,539 in like.... 4 years? :eek:

There's always one big thing to be considered when talking about inexcusable mistakes in writing English. True, they are quite inexcusable for native English speakers but the criteria shouldn't be exactly the same for them and those who speak, say, German or French as their native language. Of course it's possible to be good at English despite being a foreigner but it shouldn't be taken for granted. The structure differences alone are enough to cause serious trouble in certain cases.

But indeed, it's not the post count that defines the quality of a member but how those posts are used. I was pretty shocked when I saw that I have nearly 3.000 posts myself, I always thought I had something closer to 2.000. They just seem to appear from nowhere.
 
Posting in an epic thread.

Oh, and i joined GTP while still in my mother's womb. Basically.
 
While we are on this topic I have been a member for 1 year and 2 days with about 1300 posts.

558 Posts in five years two months. xD
I haven't really been .. completely away from here. Just, I can't normally think of any reason to type something in a thread for two reasons.
1. It's been said/covered before and there's in most cases someone already pointing out how bad the original poster is to have made a new thread about that subject, or incidentally, asking why the poster brought up a six month old thread.
2. I start typing something and it ends up like this. My answer was meant to be "558 Posts in five years two months." but then i thought, hey that sounds phreakin weird don't it mister Ed? So I felt I should at least try to explain why I don't post all that much.

Lol oh dear.

Sooner or later you'll see that its all superficial 'my e-penis is bigger than yours' type of deal.
Click to expand...

Hmmm... I have no idea how big my e-penis is. In fact, I don't think I could even tell you to within 5,000 posts how many posts I've made.

*goes and looks up e-penis size*

ooohhh. I'm packin'!! When did I cross 10,000?
