on a mission to get over 1000..... thats a post whore.... but not the good kind.

its one thing to be here for a long time and have a high post count, and part of the reason the other thread was closed was that it started out as a way for people who had a lot of posts to come in and say hello, then it turned to a post-free-for all

I wasn't just posting in that thread. I would like to think that I actually contributed some meaningful info in other threads. If it was a thread just for long-time members with high counts, then you should have restricted access.

lmao.....lol


not saying it was supposed to be restricted to long term members, just saying that it started out by someone with a high post count.

and you have added some good info on other threads.

but the question to ask is....

if the PWA thread got deleted, what would your post count drop to?

considering there are over 2500... now 2200 posts from less than 30 people, i'd say counts would drop a bunch. i do have to say, a lot of that thread was and multi-post responses, but a lot of it was also a group of people, who share a common love for the Camaro, getting together and sharing of themselves and having a good time as we wait for another tidbit of information about our beloved car (or wait to give a noob the 3rd degree for posting something that's been up 100 times already).

I just tried to answer that question (for shits and giggles). From the first time I posted on that thread up to 12/2/08 at 3:24 pm EST, I posted in there 133 times. So let's say that I did another 100 over the past 5 days in there. That's 233 total. I would be happy to have them taken away.

and if you (people in general) have something to add, but you're the last poster, use the edit, so you don't come off with double & triple posts

not picking on Mindz - he just happened to be a perfect example

I agree with that, and I usually delete the pics but occasionally I forget to...but the pics usually ain't that big when I forget...

yeah I know I double posted, it became trendy in the last one, hell even Tag had a triple post.

As for the boredom/chat/etc posts, this is what the chatroom would be used for I'm sure.

BTW, C_C, I love your sig pic. =)
