It's more about longevity than post count, for sure. Never cool for some stranger to come in as someone said, "guns blazing" and start attacking people who have been here a long time. You know, show some respect and get to know people a little bit first. Even people who are normally adversarial on the board may take mutual offense at someone who comes in and attacks one of them. People I first thought were a-holes when I joined ended up being really good people to know and hang out with, so you can't really tell who's really who until you've spent some time here.
Hey, but ScarabGator was nice in his first post -- ask him how he was welcomed to MR! HAHA! Many new members got the same classic greeting!
Really, though, above and beyond all this, it's more about band tastes than even longevity or post count. The top three bands here are Dokken, Europe and Journey, and we try to make room for others as we can, but the fans of those bands, especially the first two, are what the Journey board is all about.
