    What about Posts/9IP?

    Wells, ohms now has upwards of 30,000 posts.

    That is why post padding isn't anything special.

    Still not really sure why post-padding is anything special, whether or not you do it yourself...All it indicates is...way too much free time.

    Of course. Even with 31,000 posts, most of ohms_law's posts have been actual responses, as well (considering he had 16,000 or so before running the bot). Obviously it was about to reach a point where most of his posts were bot-driven, but yeah.

    There is a difference, even if people want to lump all post padding toegther. You don't need to be a genius to see the difference between botting and attaining the number how boomboom did.
    Yeah, obviously...

    Post-padding using a bot is pointless, and I also think post-padding just by making short irrelevent posts, as well as threads like "countdowns" and pure spam threads with no point are also pointless.
