500 posts

Post Reply New Topic

This is my 500th post. Im a veteran I must not have a life.

Well congrats on the posts.. if that's a good thing? You don't seem overly happy

If 500 posts means you don't have a life, than what does that say about me?

It means you're a zombie 6 times over.

I'd say it means you have a life and WP is part of it.

Congratulations. I'd be optimistic, and say you have found an internet community you are pleased with.

I don't understand how some users of this site can become such prolific posters so quickly. I'm forever on this site as of last November and I just haven't been able to reach even 150 posts yet

Congrats to You.

Hope to see You at Your 1000th post.

Well your at 150 now. It was hard for me to try and get to 500 posts as most of the people on this forum seem boring and there isn't any interesting topics. I think thats a large problem. I think alot of these people get there posts up by post whoring in the Random fun forum as I can't see any other reason for that forum to exist. I just don't understand the point or entertainment value in it.

I managed to get 40 posts per day on another forum and then realised that it wasn't me that was unable to make posts relavant but that this probably isn't the best place for me.

Im thinking of leaving this place now... not quite sure. I guess i will see how things go when I go back to uni on the 13th of feb.

Well, maybe someday (this year?) I'll have reached the big 5-double-O LOL...been on WP posting for just over 2 weeks and "only" have somewhere in the upper-teens (18, now?), even though many of those precious few posts could've been broken up into many more smaller ones, as they're oftentimes so-ooo long LOL

Some variables, reasons for high & low post count extremes:speed of internet connection (I've got dial-up), speed of typing (I'm slower than most), and length of each post (amount I write ranges between a couple sentences & a couple paragraphs). Also, number of hours each day one's online & ratio of time spent reading posts vs. writing posts. I read much more than I write, including on WP.
Perfecting a post takes me a really long time, hard to decide exactly how to word anything. Other people may be comfortable dashing off several (or several dozen) brief posts-I'm not able to be that way.
Don't want to get into competition of feeling like I have to hurry up & accumulate posts just to get a larger number. Not a priority to me, perhaps others find it rewarding achievement. Of course, I'd prefer to have a custom title instead of a bird name, but not motivated enough to focus on pursuing that goal.
I keep fretting about having said/done something wrong. Whether it's my OCD or AS, always worry about my postings coming back to haunt me.
