I Been on SWF for a Year Now

[Bowser King]

I've been here for nearly 8 years and most people have more posts than me.

Most people that joined 5+ years ago have been passed post count wise (except for Mic and a couple others).

EDIT: The lurking excuse is sorta lame. It's so overused that I've seen at least 30 08er's (last year) say they were lurking since 07-06 (even some 05). Heck, I saw one person say he lurked for 6 years O_o. Not saying that's what you were trying to say. It's just a lot of people say that and seeing as there are so many 08ers I don't think it's anything bad to admit your an 08er (it's only a join date after all >_>). I'm also not trying to say that some people didn't lurk. They may have but for a whole year or even 2?

Yeah. You people talk a lot.

 

[Teran]

Yeah. You people talk a lot of s***.

Corrected.

You were just too nice to say it.

 

[GwJ]

You may hear it a lot, but it's true.

You may hear it a lot, but it's true.

I'm not saying it isn't. It's just there's really no point in saying that you've been around since X time. Or else most forum vets would talking about how they've been around since 01-04 all the time.

Well, if that's true, then threads/blogs like this shouldn't exist in the first place.

Again, I never doubted that you were here since 07.

It's just that when people say " I lurked since ___" it seems pretty pointless. That's great and all but what's the need to tell people? This blog is more about this person's one year anniversary then about join date.

Anyway, lets leave it at that because were sorta leaving the main point of this thread.

I know, but I'm just saying if there's no point of saying, "I've been lurking for ____ years." then there's no point in saying "I've been a registered member for ____ years.". It's the same thing.

 

[Teran]

He's reminiscing rather than stating how long he's been here.

It's just that looking back over the first year kinda thing.

It's so he/she can celebrate his one year anniversary so I don't see whats so wrong. If I were to make a blog for my 2 year anniversary then that's a different story.

EDIT: ..and what teran said

There's a difference between randomly saying "Hai guise, I've been lurking since 200X!" and celebrating a year of SmashBoards. I will likely celebrate my one year anniversary just because of everything I've accomplished, everything that's changed.

 

[:mad:]

I have awhile to go before I reach one year.
I'm the most active member on this site...

 

[Chaco]

No your not Straked. You just refresh the page to reply fast and post alot, that's not the most active lol.

I coulda sworn you were at 1800 posts last week.

 

[:mad:]

Nope. I just contribute to about 10 different character boards, hang out at the OTL.
I'm pretty much everywhere.

I think so. I might have gotten 800 posts these last 2 weeks.

 

[kr3wman]

Yeah. You people talk a lot.

Too much if you ask me.

 

[Patinator]

Let me ask you something, thread creator.

...You've been on Smashboards for a year, but you don't have proper grammar?

D:

 

[sMexy-Blu]

Thats what she said.

 

[Chaco]

Thats what she said.

No. It's definitely not.

No offence to all the people who have over 2000 posts in a couple of months, but I think one would be hard pushed to find that many oppertunities to make a contribution to discussion.
As you can probably tell from my post count and join date, I don't post a lot. That doesn't mean Im any less active...
When it comes to forums I try and stick to a personal rule, I don't post unless I am actively contributing to the matter being discussed.
I wouldn't suggest abolishing the post count feature as it is a useful feature, but I don't think people should place as much importance on post count. When I read threads, I always have to wade through pages of posts containing no content relevent or usefull to the discussion. What is the purpose of posting merely to agree with the person before you adding nothing to the discussion?
Unfortuantly the majority of posts are exactly that, it gets pretty old reading posts solely consisting of...
"Thats what she said." or "What he said." (Sorry sMexy-Blu and mario8498, I just needed an example, nothing personal, I don't mean anything by it.)

Yeah I see that a lot. Though I don't think that a post has to be 100% useful for you to post it but it should at least have some meaning to it that is on-topic and helps the discussion. Recently, I've been seeing a lot of posts that are basically like "That's because he should be in steak tier" (no offense to sonic mainers that say things like that) but it happens quite often. I'm not trying to say that I haven't made a few mistakes for those who might take it that way.

Oh well, I don't even care about post count =/

Nah, most active user would be me.

I also enjoy the site, I wouldn't spend my free time here if I didn't.
I never get tired of Brawl, but I'm quitting it to back in to competitve Melee since I was a pretty good Doc a few years back.
