How many posts have you made on a thread?
 
... or a given topic ;)? At what point are you "obsessed"?

Just food for thought.... as there are some long running threads here...

Myself .... I have no clue, can't recall any where I've approached 100, much less 1000, or several times that amount.

What is the point? Can someone 'splain it to me... in less than 10 posts?

Pics and Jokes threads are excluded .... they're in it for the $$$$ :D

I've posted a lot to the music thread. And the bicycle thread. I've added my name a few times to the recent E28 thread.

I can proudly state that I posted only once to the vacuum cleaner thread. (But I also had nothing to add to the chain saw thread except my usual snark, so I guess that sort of cancels that out...)

But to your point, I've never understood the multiple posts to a plain vanilla thread, especially trying to get the last word in, as if that's 'the win'.

Yea baby. Winning.

:rolleyes:

KFC911 11-19-2021 04:51 PM

Oh yeah .... music threads get a pass too .... yer good :).

Yep, it's the "win a thread/topic" aspect that I just don't get either.

fintstone 11-19-2021 04:53 PM

As many as I have wanted to make...as arguments evolve and others make additional contributions/posts/points. I imagine it largely depends on one's attention span/interest. Another thought police thread? How many threads have you started to chide other folks for making posts in a manner that does not suit you?

KFC911 11-19-2021 05:00 PM

^^^^ LOL .... did I strike a nerve fint? I suspect I've started a few threads .... probably less than ten that come from two decades of observing the "winning" of some posters....

You win ;)

Baz 11-19-2021 05:03 PM

The Dog thread is also exempt......

fintstone 11-19-2021 05:10 PM

LOL. You called me out by name recently and were admonished so I though I would save the suspense and get to the point...so I would not have too many posts here and give you more ammunition.

Long threads are just comfortable conversations for some. It has nothing to do with winning. Just an ongoing dialog. The Stijn!! one comes to mind.

You can move on and continue to spin your Pavlovian experiments into other threads as I have knowingly satisfied your desire to pull my string.

KFC911 11-19-2021 05:36 PM

Sorry fint .... this thread was actually about Nick, as was that other post I made regarding you. He called me on that post, and I deleted the reference and apologized publicly to you.

This thread was about why Nick bailed and how folks view some threads. It was pointed out in his "adios" thread .... don't even know if you are in the thread that caused it fwiw.

But you win again :D

Hope Crabman returns.... it's just a message board, and he will be missed.

Fair enough. No, I have no idea why he bailed...some threads are like the notorious air conditioning thread...nothing new after the first 10 or so. I generally avoid those as boring...there is just not enough carnage for fun (lack of new facts/points to debate).

A pity to see someone leave. I had no problems with him or his moderating...but moderating sure seems to take its share of casualties. People take their arguments a bit too seriously.

You can win this one..

I’m not sure

911boost 11-19-2021 06:18 PM

What you are talking about.

Bill Douglas 11-19-2021 06:39 PM

The Gabby Petito thread. Umm, I don't know. I was getting pretty obsessed about it. More than ten I would guess.

hbueno 11-19-2021 06:43 PM

If your post count is more than 4 per day on average, you are either a narcissist, addicted, or insecure. Prove me wrong :-)

upsscott 11-20-2021 02:57 AM

What if you just like conversation?

With your stats, you're skating on the edge of conversation vs. problem child. Keep the average under 4.0 and I'll consider you "normal".:)

Skytrooper 11-20-2021 03:28 AM

Typically, I only post a couple times in any given thread.

oldE 11-20-2021 03:29 AM

Conversation is great! I have been known to engage in a few myself.
There are some however who seem to want to force their POV on others. I swear some would argue about the order of Adele's albums.
Life is too short to wrestle with pigs. Unless of course you're into that sort of thing.

Best

Captain Ahab Jr 11-20-2021 03:36 AM

Post count is about half a post a day but I don't think I'm 'normal'

My 'high post' count in my man cave build thread makes me feel abnormal :confused:
