lol shon, we can do this all day if you like... i could use a 2nd

i was on R but you move really fast... it IS almost like chat!

honestly, overboosting and wasting a whole thread about it and shamelessly boosting while bitching about it /laughing at it/defending it are all equally annoying so everyone here is guilty as hell.

now i'm just waiting for ric flair to pop in and starting 'woooooooooooo'ing all over the place

Shannon,

There are many post-booster threads in the off-topic section for your convenience.

Some of the members do have a valid point here. Most of them use the "View New Posts" feature to check up on new postings. Makes sense, no?

I can understand you wanting to answer to a few polls here and there but could you try and keep it a tad reasonable, please?

I said please, see that? I'm trying to be polite and nice and hoping you'll see why some members are agitated by what you've been doing.

Honestly, I could care less because I don't use the View New Posts button, I just browse the Off-topic section.

But can you imagine someone posting a visa related question and it being drowned in a series of bumped up threads from weeks ago?

Imagine yourself in that situation.

PS I think they ought to just get rid of the post count features altogether. How is it such an effort to have 10k posts while 75% of them are nothing but smileys, one-liners and absolute nonsense.

thats cool. i understand your point. honestly i didnt know it affected people that much. i was insulted to see it on the front page a new thread started about me. so i said how i felt about it.

I would have been insulted if there was a negative thread about me.

now shanon we are on T ... catch up dear, if you want them 10,000 postings..

I don't have an issue with "samir_shannon", I have an issue with the concept of post-boosting in general. I have honestly never understood the concept. People post tons of #######, have gigantic images in their signatures, yet then complain when the site gets slow.

For a little comparison:

I own a few message boards. The largest one has right at 100 members, and has existed since 9/2001. On that board, I have 3,344 posts. I'm either #1 or #2 for number of posts, not sure. Could be #3 or #4 now, for all I know. NO ONE on my site has ever tried boosting their post count with ####### posts. Why? No one gives a sh!t. It's like a willy-comparing contest. However, anyone who DID post a bunch of ####### just to increase their post count would be banned. Permanently. Besides....there's no incentive on my boards. The highest level available occurs after only 300 posts, and the "member ratings" (post-based) is turned off.

I think it's just a matter of courtesy. Many of us use the Recent Posts feature to see what's going on. What we see now are polls from 2005 and topics started by people who are likely long gone from here.

Not singling you out, samir_shannon, as there are many others who do this, too. This was a general plea to stop the insanity, not aimed just at you.
