Post count survey...

[Spike]

The date someone joined, or the amount of times you hit the "Post Reply" button should not matter. Its use as an argument to counter someone's views is specious. What matters is how someone expresses their opinion, and it should always be with respect, no matter who is being addressed.

I believe post count is an indication of awsomeness and the higher it is, the more money you should send to the poster.

Nice try, NIG.

But...you only get the money if you spell "awesomeness" correctly.

[Luvsaugeri]

Thanks!

I don't know what happened last night. I've never been a fan of the "piling on" stuff. People should be allowed to express their agreement or disagreement with anyone...regardless of how "popular" they are...without feeling like they're going to be jumped on. Of course, it should all be done with respect. That just goes without saying.

I agree wholeheartedly. There was a major clique that existed here for far too long. As much as I enjoyed these forums I always felt I'd get shouted down if I didn't toe the party line. Seemingly some of them are now gone. As a long time lurker, that was an impetus for me to start posting at least a little bit. Personally, I'd never run up much of a post count regardless, but it's cool to share some opinions every once in awhile. Thanks all!

I couldn't agree with you more. It's only been recently that I've felt more comfortable posting here. I'm not one to be a big fighter so I'm still a little hesitant to post a whole lot because it sometimes feels like there are some people just waiting to attack.....but it's much better than it used to be.

I don't really think post counts should count towards anything. I've been on boards where I had ALOT of posts and on ones where I didn't have so many. I just wish people would take opposing opinions and have respect for them and not go into attack mode.

The amount of post you have doesn't earn my respect for you. Treating me with respect does. It will get you the same in return.

That is a great post there. I will give you an example of someone here.

Deb. I don't think we could disagree more on our musical tastes. I know she is not a SA fan at all. But I have never seen her post a disrespectful post about him or his fans. She can state her opinions and views without being disrespectful to people who may not have the same opinions.

My check for $1.20 is on it's way to you

Thanks for jumping back in. Dare I say that the more like yourself that do participate, the more those others like yourself will see that it's fine and enjoyable to participate

Thanks Andrew. I will do what I can!!

There are some really great, funny, interesting people here. I enjoy reading everyone's inputs on things. There's alot of musical knowledge to be gained from alot of people here as well.

This is NOT a thread to piss people off, just a thread out of curiosity! How many of you think that someone who's new to the Forum (say under a year, or even 6 months), should be able to come in here and be disrespectful to others in here who have been here for quite a while? Should thread count even count? Does your post count matter at all? Do the countless hours you spend on this forum count when it comes to newcomers? I guess this is all subjective, but I'm just curious to see what the general opinion is...

I, personally, try not to be disrespectful to ANYONE except Tito.... j/k!!!

BTW

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GI JIM!!!!!

[Gin and Tonic Sky]

I think a little bit of gentle bashing and argy-bargy is a good thing- any good streetfight gathers onlookers and keeps people entertained. However, it needs to be done in a light hearted , not malicious way. The problem of course is that you can tell someone to F*ck O** and die with a grin on your face, and its a bit of fun. When it gets put in writing, you cant always ascertain the intent behind it!

[amaron]

I think that time on a board means more than the number of posts you accumulate.

IMO, if someone is registered on a forum for a couple months and has thousands of posts, then they either are involved with every thread on a board, have no life or too much to say.

On the flip side, if someone is registered for years and barely has 100 posts a year, then there might be some reason why they don't post more often.

I've been here since 2005. I left for a while during Tapegate, and off and on when Journey news is slow.

[Red13JoePa]

I think post counts should disappear altogether.

Thanks! Right back at ya girl! I've never seen you slam others musical tastes either. I agree, it doesn't get your point across any more by doing that. LOL, I can be pretty passionate about my music though when it comes to slamming SP/JSS/EM, case in point.......crawling up one side and down the other of Dan (St John) the other day.

[Granny]

Thanks for your input man, and I enjoy your posts. I agree with what you said about the Cliques. I think a lot of people felt the same way.

I trust everyone is happy at this point in time?

Andrew, seems to me, thats what you have been saying for a long time now...
Do ya think they finally got it?
We will have to excuse those that drink and post or at least ignore them...
Some are happy drunks and others are pretty nasty.(you all know who you are)
Happy Birthday to G.I. Jim...I wasn't invited to the party and I live nearby..... j/k

I would be happy with that.
Whenever Hubby Bub points out my post count on here he has a huge hissy on my hide.
Doesn't matter to him that I get all my work done without being told, all he sees is 6000+ posts.

[amaron]

I think post counts should disappear altogether.

I'm on a few forums where they have removed post counts on messages. It stops this type of argument.

[Arkansas]

I've always considered 'post count' to be kinda worthless. I mean, who cares? It shouldn't be a pride thing at all. Maybe that tally gets kept in your profile, and not published? Over at Back Talk, someone once said, "higher post count = bigger loser", especially when join date was taken in to consideration. Now I don't necessarily believe that, however, I think there is some sort of distant correlation there somewhere.

Btw, posting naked should only be allowed if a real-time web cam is active.
So all you women feel free to show us who you really are.

Thanks MG! I've decided to make it a 2 day celebration! Dinking a little wine now, and getting ready to grill some steaks. I'll save you one!

Good points. Again, I apologize to you for the other night. Too much stress and beer! I agree with you 100%. Oh, I'm drinking wine tonight, so watch out!

Wait a minute Granny...Which drunk am I? I just told Michigan Girl I'd keep her a steak warm, so what time are you coming over? I know you live somewhat close, but where do you live? I'd love to meet some of you sometime! I think I may be catching Frontier's next show in Charlotte, but I'll have to check the dates. It would be cool to hang out with some of you! Let me know,


Jim

Darlington? Man, there's nothing there but rednecks, drinking and racing. Well, other than the racing part...I guess I'd fit right in! So what does your sister look like? JUST JOKING!!!

I appreciate the birthday wishes, and I'm going to have a good one. My family's going on vacation without me for a week starting this Saturday, so I'll be living it up on here with you guys...Aren't YOU lucky! I'll probably get the boot from Andrew within the 1st 3 days.

[RebornJrny]

How about getting rid of date "Joined" or number of "Posts" or both.

That's just something a newbie with no time, or posts would come up with! Just messing with you.

[conversationpc]

There is something to say with giving respect to people who have been here for awhile. However, we all know that there are some folks who have been around that may not deserve respect...

...present company excluded, of course.

[S2M]

And then there are individuals, like me, who left for awhile - only to have forgotten their sign-in info....and had to re-sign up and are back to zero post counts.....doesn't bother me at all.

BTW, I'm STILL not Joe....
