well i post answers to questions asked. pretty much every question that i find that is and IG question. if there is a debate going on then i will read the thread and make any points that i feel need made, then i will defend them against people who refute them. this gives me a reasonable post count and a reputaion as a loadmouthed, self absorbed and sometimes arrogant bugger.
many people whith the likes of 50posts per day make most of their posts along the lines of: f***ing n00b, dumb idea, won't work. look for rude and/or very short posts that do not make any kind of point.

i agree with Sanji. regulars on the board will know worthwhile posters and pointless trollers. rank means very little.

Take the Off-Topic forum off the post count and you will see a major drop in qualifide posts. Most of the post counts are from this forum. I know mine are! Personally I do not care what my post count is. It serves no real purpose.

...wow...my first post on the forums just happens to be on the excessive posting thread. anyway. sometimes people just spend all their time on forums talking about a game instead of actually playing the game. i never spend time on game forums for this reason. i'd rather play gw than talk about gw. lol

LotharOvsothian · Sep 28, 2005, 01:25 PM // 13:25

also, i've been playing gw since early june, and i've poked around on the site a ton, but just now decided to actually join.

i love forums only 150 posts away from cervantes ^^
and the off-topic thread is maybe the best place to start spamming without worries look at some games like errrrm the kiwi thread

Don't hate because you don't have our n00b spam skills! If your forum rank isn't high enough, go spam. Not that forum rank matters. We are all equal here, right? *ducks*

Thank you

He said it better

Regardless I know some of you know what I'm talking about. It's just that it is so ridiculous that it is hard to describe....or maybe it these pills I've been taking

I spent a lot of time "lurking" before I actually started to post. I try to answer questions and join in on the other topics but sometimes it's just fun to hang out here and post. Not counting how many posts but have noticed my "rank" changing from time to time.

Lag Hell · Sep 28, 2005, 04:34 PM // 16:34

we all spend 2 much time on these boards wasting our life away

Teh Azman · Sep 28, 2005, 04:40 PM // 16:40

Yeah, we do...Well it could be worse, we could um...Oh, nevermind.

Why are there people who have only been here for a month or 2 and have ridiculously high forum ranks. Some of those ranks require 2000+ posts if I remember correctly.

I dunno, am I the only one who thinks that is kind of sad?

I don't know about you, but I'm bored at work with nothing better to do.

As for posts: Look around all of my post outside of the off-topic forum (about 500+) were not 1 liners at all or any of that shit. As for trading I know a lot of people who have10+ posts per day in that 1 forum (some with even 20+) so.

EDIT: For the record most of my 15 posts per day have mostly been in this forum for the past week or so (it isn't hard if you just check in every 30 miniutes or so when doing something else, or if you get into a real dicussion)

The undead Mesmer · Sep 28, 2005, 04:49 PM // 16:49

hmmm i post mostly here but thats because i dont have annything normal to say ^^ *around the 450 posts are outside of it*

and look i am not talking in a one-liner now

Teh Azman · Sep 28, 2005, 04:54 PM // 16:54

One liners? Pfft.

The undead Mesmer · Sep 28, 2005, 04:55 PM // 16:55

^^ rofl hehe yup one liners.

and about those ranks i think that sancho panza is the best *errrrm most funny*

k 100 posts left until im a cervantes.

Xue Yi Liang · Sep 28, 2005, 05:03 PM // 17:03

How about adding a requirement that a person have x number of threads started by them for promotion in addition to post count?
Threads that end up deleted by admins don't count.
This way we're assured they're at least contributing content somewhere.

Maybe posts that are less than 12(?) characters don't count.

Teh Azman · Sep 28, 2005, 05:04 PM // 17:04

Well then that'd rule out me and the cucumber guy up there...

EmperorTippy · Sep 28, 2005, 05:05 PM // 17:05

Well I have like 20 threads started so far (outside of trade and OT) so I think i'm deservign of my rank. I'm about to start a petition to get my own special title as they won't promote me to moddom.

What will REALLY flip your noodle is this:

Look up all the mods you see online (online list, black names). Now look at their join date versus say, me, or you, and then marvel at that a bit
