nrg_alpha Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Woohoo! I finally reached the 1000th post mark! (hey, you have to start somewhere! Cue the band, confetti and balloons!). I now look forward to the next 1000 posts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zane Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Yeah...I just reached 2000 a day or so ago... and I've been here 5 years.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrg_alpha Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 Well, posting speeds vary depending on the individual and their life circumstances (not that it's a race or anything). I just never posted 1000 times on any particular site before (first time for everything as they say). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zane Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Well, now you're at 1001 and life goes on....lol We still have the super posters like Barand and thorpe here to show us up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 The highest I've seen is something like 130k+. I can't remember where that is though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrg_alpha Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 The highest I've seen is something like 130k+. I can't remember where that is though. Really? I suppose the question is, is it genuine responses built up over time, or was this person just replying to anything just to jack up the post count? In either case, that number is staggering in forum posting terms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 It's a staff member at some company's forum, so I would assume it's not just post count padding. I can't remember where it is though :\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrg_alpha Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 Well, from the sounds of it, seems pretty much 'legit' and not padded... all the more impressive. Geez, even just 6 or 7k eclipses my 'posting accomplishments' (bad choice of words, I know) considerably, but 130k... if only I had a dollar for every post at that rate.

Maq Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I've seen a couple sites where members have 100k+, the only one that comes to mind is the IGN board (forget the URL), it's some sort of gaming site. I recall multiple members having a massive amount of posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrg_alpha Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 You would think that to amass those kind of numbers, one would pretty much eat, breathe and sleep forum posting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maq Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 You would think that to amass those kind of numbers, one would pretty much eat, breathe and sleep forum posting... Yeah true, I think they averaged like 30 posts a day. Plus the forums were started in the late 90's. So 30 posts for 10 years would total over 100k.

premiso Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Yea, I need to get to 7,000 just to beat out redarrow...but man is that tough! Time to start expanding the forums I post in! EDIT: I should also say, that I will not just post random stuff to get that milestone. My posts will still matter and be meaningful (for the most part ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maq Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Yea, I need to get to 7,000 just to beat out redarrow...but man is that tough! Time to start expanding the forums I post in! haha yeah. As far as expanding forums, I usually just click on, "Show unread posts since last visit". I believe it lists from every section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Hrmmm I don't even pay attention to my post count anymore except for when I see the first digit change every couple of months. I probably will freak out though if I ever break 10k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, by current count ( 6,140 ), you only have 3860 more posts to go before you lose it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmola Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Congrats on your milestone. Just remember that what is important is the quality of the posts, not the quantity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrg_alpha Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 Thanks, and I agree completely.. tons of bogus posts don't mean squat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yesideez Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 There are only two forums I've hit 1,000 posts - this one and a torrent site I use - mainly for the community as there are quite a few techie forums there I help out on. Now my social position has changed I can now visit from work without risk of trouble so I'll be posting a lot more. Today alone I've been on here for a little over 4 hours solid.

You can definitely get a lot more in when you're at work. I usually do some work, for a half an hour or so, and make a post or two when I need a break. It's also nice because we don't use any PHP at work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Same here - in fact this is the most posts I've ever had on a forum. Picked up a lot when I started working my current job, and seen as I do work with PHP, I find it pretty easy to solve problems as you're already in the right mindset.
