Holy crap, is this a post count question?

osiris · Dec 30, 2008, 05:44 PM

Punishable by death. In some countries, I believe.

SpaceMonkey · Dec 30, 2008, 05:56 PM

When we cut you off?

Hg2491 · Dec 30, 2008, 05:58 PM

Three posts that didn't really answer the question. Cool.

If you were a true forum regular this would not have surprised you.

First Lounge thread?

Hg2491 · Dec 30, 2008, 06:02 PM

Hehe.. you guys have a very original sense of humor. So, is it when I get to 1 post per day or something?

Hg2491 · Dec 30, 2008, 06:05 PM

Thanks SpaceMoney, sorry for the inconvenience everyone -.-;

Inconvenience? I found a thread where I could make pointless chatter very convenient! I should be thanking you.

As explained in the thread SpaceMonkey linked, the next rank is at 200 total posts.

Sarcasm?

mattyb · Dec 30, 2008, 06:14 PM

Hg2491, read a few (well OK a few hundred posts) in the lounge and then you might find your answer. To your sarcasm question that is.

abeato6 · Dec 30, 2008, 06:23 PM

wow. Loving the helping spirit in this forum. Awesome guys.

Hg2491 · Dec 30, 2008, 06:25 PM

Yeah.. whatever, next time I'll think three times before posting something.

If that is the threshold then the Lounge would have no new threads.

I'm just bitter that I didn't get a '71 Ferrari Daytona from Santa.

(we can be a very sarcastic bunch here in the Lounge, but fear not - we do it with love. I think.

Hope you like it in read; Santa sends his love

Make more threads like this and you'll be well on your way.

Thank you. Now I only need 9 more for the rest of my toes.

Hash · Dec 31, 2008, 10:46 AM

I moved to Windows because of job requirements, then I had new hobby - digital photography, bought Nikon DSLR camera and participated in some heated Nikon-Canon wars (same as the Mac-PC wars); and I suddenly found that I haven't checked MacNN for more than 2 years.. But I surely liked Electronista, which is sister site and check it reqularly - does it make me still MacNN regular?

seanc · Dec 31, 2008, 10:52 AM

I'm pretty sure you could have some Nikon/Canon wars here too Hash

Hash · Dec 31, 2008, 11:01 AM

Oh yeah.. I used to browse Canon forums (awesome btw) and post benchmarks showing how Nikon is better on ISO and other things.. hehe.. i guess i learned much from MacNN.. Its pretty cool idea to have it here

too bad Nikon likes crap MS software..

This is an interesting thought - what if forum rank was based on the post count rate, not total? That'd be pretty interesting.

SpaceMonkey · Dec 31, 2008, 11:18 AM

You just want an easier way to be King Of MacNN.

I'd love that debate.

osiris · Dec 31, 2008, 11:27 AM

We would then be able to gang up and publicly humiliate a member.

I like it.

Please explain how this would be new.

When you become irregular.

That was a very logical answer, sek929. It's actually very original.

Thank you. Now I only need 9 more for the rest of my toes.

19 -- You would fall if only standing. Need to use for hands too for balance.

Think about it guys. Imagine that a Clinically Insane member stops visiting the forums. After a year or two, he would still be Clinically Insane because he has the same number of posts, whereas if the rate was considered, he would be downgraded.

Do you really think somebody who's posted on MacNN 15000+ times gets more sane just because he takes a short break?

Yeah whatever Mr. 2.3-posts-per-day. The only real NNer is one who averages over 5 posts per day.
My Gossamer account was retired over a year and a half ago and still has a 5.3 average.

Well if you take my total posts and divide it by the length of time you've been here...it would equal you being an ass.

Like that math, engineering-boy?
