Aus forum milestones
Anyone who makes 6,000 posts is a huge effort, and Kal is poised for glory on 5,987...she deserves a medal!
Mind you, Taka sitting at 8,542 is also a huge effort and I reckon it won't be long before we're celebrating his 10,000th!
Auzoom is knocking on 2,000, and Revolver snuck past 5,000 (now on 5,406).......and then theres Hymee on 4,746!
I'm sorry if I've missed others, by all means throw up the stats...it would be interesting to see who's in for the top three podium finishes.

Dave, since I've been around you have raised some excellent points and I appreciate your contribution!
I also see there are times when we probably suffer from being too bored or having too much say at the time! (put me in that category!)
Anyhow a great effort mate....

Hahahaha, holy **** - I thought there'd be waaay more tragics than me. I didn't think I'd make the top 50, let alone 15th spot.
Mind you, most of the top 10 contribute real stuff rather than whoring. Good on 'em.

I didn’t want to say the word “post *****” without doing some research on it. Out of it came two schools of thoughts on the subject.
First…I looked up the definition of…”Post *****”
1. A purpose it seems to accumulate posts. With such gems of wisdom as "I agree," "me too" and "I heard that somewhere,"
2. A post ***** manages to accumulate 1000s of posts without ever really saying anything.
3. He or she doesn't have to have any relevant or complete thought to post. As long as the post count goes up, he or she is happy.
4. Someone who posts on every thread out of boredom or as an attempt to feel a sense of belonging.
5. One who spends countless hours posting mindless bullshit! Their posts usually contain one word or an emotion.
I nearly concluded some people (including myself) needed a life and spend too much time on the computer!
I did some more research and found a second school of thought...
Have you ever noticed our forum has up to 200 persons lurking around without a single post? ...no offence guys, but I find this truly amazing!
You can learn a lot by lurking, the combined technological know how of people talking about the RX8 can be a bit intimidating at times. Most questions posted could be answered in a millisecond but for some reason you never hear of them! (They must be shy!)
So the moral of the story is this...if you want to be a lurker, you must resist the temptation to reply this post.
If not then you won't be a lurker anymore and become a post *****! Come one Nate...I know you're out there somewhere!!!!

Eek!!! I didn't mean to spook anyone!
My first example came from the "X" gen (pre Internet) and the second views came from the post "Y" gen.
So.......in effect who's right?....
In my book no-one, so we'd like to see you hit that 6,000 mark tonight!!!

lol I didnt mean it in any spooky way.. lol
I just am rather busy at work, as you all probably notice I dont post ***** as much during the day.. work is hectic, and then uni starts again in few weeks.. ontop of that still organising the new house.. i just dont have energy to really sit here at home.. and when i do, i rather spend that energy elsewhere!! lol
I think a lot of us who been around for a while are starting to feel this way..

I've had a little rush of blood the past day or so but I think it'll be shortlived, lol.

Not exactly, that was only during a period of time where I wasn't doing much more than posting on this forum, apart from studying for exams ...
... and to be defined a post ***** must exhibit all of the above, not one or two. I studied it in first year game development ... fun unit, rather pointless though.

You studied postwhoring in first year game development?
No bloody wonder you're so good at it. Passed with distinction too, if the results here are an indication.
