Okay...I don't mind the postwhoring if IT STAYS IN ONE PLACE, personally I'd like to go into the Whatever forum and see new funny stuff rather than those same three or four postwhore threads...I mean I just don't see the point of making posts with just one word to get a "count" up. Whoo hoo, you have 5,000 posts, to me it doesn't matter if they mean nothing.

Nothing being that you're just bored and posting one word entries. I see normal conversation such as "how was everyone's day" as very valid, it's always nice to have a place where you can talk to people if you had a shitty day or are having a problem.

I have a question to those people that "whore" posts...what does it fulfill? I still like you guys as people, as I haven't been around long enough to hate cha, and I don't make a snap judgement...BUT...I mean, if everyone on the site knows that is how you got your count, what is the exact point?
I am quite sure that you were referring to me as well as others who have insane ppd's. If I were a member since the beginning when this site started and some clown joined a couple months later and he or she had 10 times the ppd and posts... would I care? No... I wouldn't. Yes, someone did make a valid point to me and I kinda felt bad... so I donated some dough to help cover SOME of the bandwith that I have used. I don't give a s**t what anyone thinks of me. I am not a speed poster, am I a post "whore"? Some say yes, and others could care less. The purpose of the long thread IS NOT TO UP THE PPD's (contrary to what some people think); if you look on the very first post you'll see the question: "Can we beat this?" It says nothing about:"Can we rack up our ppd?" Since I cannot get into chat (and no I'm not banned) I use the "Hijack this thread" as my chat. Believe it or not: Some of our VERY NEWEST members ask me if I am a moderator. I laugh and reply "no". I honestly feel that I am not senior enough to be a moderator..... Hell there are mods that don't even have 1,000 posts... And yes ppd's is nothing but a number. Do I feel special? No. Do I feel cool? No... I feel that if we aren't bothering anybody, then why bother us? And oh no, ALL of my posts aren't worthless... I have posted in the 2nd gen forums alot. I don't know my Intrepid inside and out, so sometimes my ?'s are idiotic... but oh well. thats how you learn.... So if the "high ups" really have a problem with me, then I'll go away from the site for a while... Just PM me and let me know....

yeah but for me to make everyone happy I must have a 10:1 ratio of good post vs whoring. I have a reputation for whoring.
I'm not trying to be an a-hole here Stac... but you saw the outcome of some threads with the term "whoring" being emphasized. Senior members don't appreciate the whoring. That is why I have calmed down alot in the long and hijack thread. It just makes everyone happy.
