Post count, yay

[crono_logical]

Heck, if it's possible, then can I have some large negative fractional post count please? As long as it doesn't mean I get deleted with 0-posters, of course

[Dr Unne]

I think it might only be possible by hacking, crono_logical. Don't remember for sure though.

I'm glad at least a couple people share my sentiments. Don't you think it'd be great if no one even remembered how many posts other people had? Then we might *gasp* actually have to get to know each other before we cast judgment based on a silly number. For the people who say "Oh, I only have 500 posts, I can't do it", well, what better way to become known than by showing that you're above this mindset of more posts = better person?

If an Admin could do this for the people who want it done, it'd be much appreciated. Sorry if it's a lot of work.

Yes, I must admit that I just end up feel intimitated by some members with xxxx posts. I've always liked the way the post counts here at EoFF aren't on open display, but they still have a huge effect on what the people around here think of other members.

Thanks in advance to whichever Admin removes my count .

I'm thinking this thread is more deserving for Feedback now after the turns its taken - it's not as if Unne needs help anymore with getting his post count changed

*moves*

Why do people place so much precedent on post counts? I post when I have something to say...no more, no less.

I feel sad for people who post just for the sake of posting.

Cheers.

I openly admit that I like to look at the Top 25 Posters thing. But... I mean, I don't really care who's on it. I just like to see where I am on it. *shrugs* I know people with less than 100 posts, and I don't know people with over 3000 posts. Don't care too much.

Well, I was just thinking, you guys are all clearing thousands of posts, and me? I only have 500-some odd, so that doesn't really make a statement.

But, hey, if it matters to anyone, then by all means, clear my posts too ^^

I agree with Unne. Post counts are meaningless. So why not make mine 1 million? It's meaningless, right?

I wouldn't mind two million myself. Ah, that's the stuff.

Eh, now that I think about it, 3,136 wouldn't be too bad either. That's a nice number... oh, wait. I already have 3,136 posts at least. *dies* Nah, I'm fine where I am. It's a meaningless number anyway.

I think you're all rediculous for even caring enough to mess with it. :rolleyes2

[The Man]

I've made my own decision...

Leave my post count where it is. I'm fine with that. But change my date of registration to March 13, 1602, if that's possible, or the same date in 1902 if it isn't (and 1952 if 1902 isn't possible). Having 31 posts per day, even if I have them honestly, has gotten somewhat old. I'm sick of being noticed solely because of how quickly I post. I'm also sick of racing against my own past post-per-day rate. I want to say that it has no effect in my mind, but I'm sure that, much as I don't want it to, it still does.

So yeah. If some Admin would change my registration date, I'd be much obliged. But I do want to keep it similar to March 13, 2002 if at all possible -- that way you folk will know which day I came around. Sort of.

That's a sneaky way of you trying to get your custom rank early, The Man. And I'm not sure if you can set dates before 1970

Bleh, I don't really care about the rank. In fact, if you people care that much, then I'll just not use the rank until I've actually earned it legally. Or not for a few months anyway, though having the status "Evil Rabite" sounds pretty tempting.

And I'm not sure if you can set dates before 1970

Well, in that case, 1972 would be a nice year. That was the year Dark Side of the Moon was recorded. *rocks out*

Well, this colourful pair of people seemed to have set their registration to below 1970 but only a day before it though.

And yes I have too much time on my hands.

Pfft, nah. They're both administrators, for starters, so it's easy to find 'em.

But I forgot that Sean's date was pre-1970. I knew that Bleys' was, though.

Well, either way, I'm sick of having 31 posts per day, but I don't mind my post count, so I want my registration date changed.
