Re: I lost 400 post
Oh, I dunno, Ohms... I mean when the Aliens take over our planet at some future date - I have it, on good authority, just prior to the issuing of the BM2069 Beta - they will regard these forums as a sort of time-capsule, indicating the mentality of us Earthlings.
I see it all, now...the Alien anthropologists shaking their (little; pointed) heads, pityingly, over our writings...

I'll give you 400 posts back for your next number 1 pick when you decide to come back to BBMO?
No league will have a rule against this.

Actually, if I wanted to make a big deal about it I'd do something like... this.

aight, fixed. I have to say, I'm a bit underwhelmed at the response... I honestly expected more wailing and gnashing of teeth.
lol
At least HGM took it the right way.
Anyway, everything is back to normal.

Yeah, I am, heh.
Actually, oops, nevermind. I'm not. I was nearing 19,500 a few days ago. So it's right. I got confused.
Oops.

I wouldn't get too attached to your post counts. We've always been fighting problems with vBulletin and we're probably going to have to switch internet service providers this year. It may cause post count "hiccups" or worse.

well then so be it...I guess I don't have an incentive to be active on this forum...anymore. I wonder how many people in BMO would feel....like all the times on the forums, how the forums was a fun place, where we would make fun of each other, play games (before there was a word or name game) top 10 reasons why stieny is an A$$ type of threads...you post 10 of those a night and you have 100 post easily. Those type of games stopped when stieny took the fun away....then ohms did the same thing...(but for his credit, he restored most of it) Post counts are a game itself...it is a record of what you do on this forum...it also tells people in BMO how active of a GM they are and such...ect. If you don't want people to be attached to post counts than why have them in the first place....also if you take them away now, it will piss people off... if you don't like the post games, then you don't have to be part of it. i know some people don't like post padders, doesn't mean he has to take the fun away but telling clay that post counts don't matter.... Because they do matter to some people...take a look at the king of post padders, (Michealg123) he would have more than 23k, and dabs would be at 25k if it wasn't for stieny....I would be at around 20k as well.
All 3 of us were 10 times more active in our heyday than ohms_law and HGM. I think that we averaged 50-200 post per day...and Micheal posted something like 1,000 post in 2 days that set a record...
E=I*R
Fixed.but for his credit, he restored all of it
This actually goes directly to my point though. Does it tell how active the person is when many of those posts are from blatant post padding? Doing that dilutes the meaning of post counts, at least in my eyes.it is a record of what you do on this forum...it also tells people in BMO how active of a GM they are and such.
That's kind of my point as well. That (at least a few) people do seem to pay an inordinate amount attention to them is kind of a problem.If you don't want people to be attached to post counts than why have them in the first place.
Of course, I don't participate in padding. I did briefly, but was quickly bored by it.
Look though, I don't personally care if you or anyone else post pads. If it makes you happy, that's fine by me. I was just having a little fun at your expense is all, since I knew that you'd get kind of pissed about it. I didn't say a word about it to Clay or Dee or anyone at all until after I did it, when HGM PM'ed me laughing and asking how long I was going to keep the threads deleted. There's no real need to get defensive... If you want the "lead", go right ahead, that doesn't bother me in the least!
