Well, welcome to Newgrounds. Two quick things, though:

1) make a profile, dagnabit!

2) please stop posting that you're new in multiple topics. You made almost the exact same post as the above in another topic only two minutes prior to this one. You're going to end up banned sooner or later if you keep posting short, pointless, and/or "I'M NEW" posts.

Someone else said she went from 2000 to 9000 posts in one year, I believe.

She made 57 posts yesterday, most of them short sentences. It almost seems like she's posting just for the sake of posting. Lucky for her mods aren't restricted by a post limit. Some people treat their post count like it's another freakin' stat due to gfox's pentalist.

What do you mean by "like it's another freakin' stat," Recon? It IS another freakin' stat. O_o

And in any event... people were obsessing about postcount long before I made the pentalist in November 2003. Need I remind you of the top posters list that Dobio ran, and before him, format ran? Lots of people were obsessing about posts back then. So please don't blame my list for the spammage of teh BBS. ;_;

In any event, posts have never been as much of an obsession problem as POPULARITY RANKING once was, at least.

I completely agree. KWAS71KCK should be review-banned. He leaves thousands of those short, shitty reviews for the sole purpose of stroking his enormous ego (check his profile for proof if you need it) and rising in the review count rankings. He doesn't care about giving constructive reviews to help the flash artists in the slightest.

Well I did some searching gfox and I'll go you one better. She posted a screenie when she reached 5,000 posts on Feb 12th, 2005. Now it's 3 months later and she's sitting at 9,281 posts. That means she made 4,281 posts in only 90 days. I'd say that's a bit excessive wouldn't you?

It should be treated as a form of communication first and foremost in my opinion.

And in any event... people were obsessing about postcount long before I made the pentalist in November 2003.

Well her average posts per day before the pentalist was introduced on November 27th, 2003 was around 3. I jumped ahead about one hundred pages and amazingly her post count shot up to 50 per day. That's a very significant change. I wonder what her motivation was after all that time.

Her burst of posting started prior to that 5000 postcount, but yes... that's an effective way of pinpointing exact progress. Quite impressive, certainly... perhaps excessive as well.

But to be fair, a lot of her posts are lock messages, and she does a TON of modding compared to most current active mods. Believe it or not, the admins WANT us to always leave a post prior to locking threads so people can't complain no reason was given prior to teh lockage. I'm not saying that explains ALL of her posting spree in the past few months, but it does explain part of it.

What do you mean by "like it's another freakin' stat," Recon? It IS another freakin' stat. O_o

It should be treated as a form of communication first and foremost in my opinion.

Posts themselves should? Well, of course. But postcount is just a number. It reflects the number of posts you've made and nothing else. Not their quality, not the time that you spent making them, nor the size of each post, or anything else.

If those things were factored in, my postcount would be so much more impressive than it already is. #;-}>

In any event, of course the main reason to post is to communicate.

The main reason to review is ALSO to communicate, but more specifically with flash authors and the fans/fellow viewers of their flashes.

Still, reviewcount is a stat that many of us enjoy.

It's simply inescapable... many of the things we do on NG have stats associated with them. There are a few options:

1) Just do what you enjoy doing, and don't care about the stats. This is what people like Stuporman do (just post, don't worry about exp or b/p... and don't really care about their postcount or anything else).

2) Enjoy both what you do on NG AND the numbers that come with it. That would be me. And most of us here on Wi/Ht?, after all. #;-}>

3) Crave nothing but numbers. Posting and reviewing are nothing but means to accomplishing number-boosting ends... b/p and exp don't mean anything about you contributing to how the portal is graded and run, but just serve to boost your ego as well.

I don't LOVE that third category, and I can't personally relate to the first category, but it takes all kinds, yanno? Let's just be happy we're the sane medium (Good ol' #2 in the above list).

And in any event... people were obsessing about postcount long before I made the pentalist in November 2003.

Well her average posts per day before the pentalist was introduced on November 27th, 2003 was around 3. I jumped ahead about one hundred pages and amazingly her post count shot up to 50 per day. That's a very significant change. I wonder what her motivation was after all that time.

Yes, but from November 2003 until December 2004, her postsperday didn't jump hardly at all. It wasn't until 2005 that she began posting like mad. Most of the time since then has been when she's a mod. I think it's quite simple: ramagi's being a BBS mod has encouraged her to post more. Just like her being a review mod previous to that encouraged her to review quite a lot and to review ban quite a lot (she's probably banned more people than me plus almost all of the other review mods put together... excepting Stormwarden and TheJoe).

What I'm saying is that the pentalist can't have been a motivation at first. Maybe eventually (like this year, along with the mod status) it kicked in that way, but it wasn't back in 2003-2004.

So please don't blame my list for the spammage of teh BBS. ;_;

I know you enjoy it, man, but it sounded like you wanted me to remove postcount from the stats it covers.

I think that by requiring not just one but TWO stats over 10,000, most of the problems associated with people perhaps being tempted to spam their way onto the pentalist with nothing but BBS posts alone... are now gone. It's simply impossible to gain list entry that way anymore.

Also, prior to me making that change, there weren't THAT many people routinely making the pentalist due to posts alone, anyway. I think a lot of the super-heavy posters, including those that have real hard-ons for the postcount stat... mostly dwell on General, anyway.

You don't seem them in Wi/Ht? that much anymore. When was the last time ZeroAsALimit posted here? Never, AFAIK.

I think the postcount-obsession reflects itself simply in people posting and looking at their count next to their posts or in their profiles. They clearly don't need a top BBS posters list to encourage it, nor do they need a spot on my pentalist to encourage it.

All that said, if ramagi really has been using the pentalist as an excuse/reason/motivation for posting way too much for some people's tastes, then I apologise. ;_;

\all this fuse over my activeness on the BBs. So silly, you know only til lrecently have peopel focused on my post count. I have not been very active again the past two days, acually I taken some time awayf from Ng.
if you take time to notice when my last post is before this evening that is.. Plus I took a small break again earlier this week.
II could point out from the group I was modded with, that actually one of the other mods make me look like a slacker when it comes to posting. Plus there are some reg users on the BBS that do more than me also. As gfoxcook pointed out if you take the time check out how many of my post are lock messages you would be surprised. A lot of that is due to the fact one of the forums I have been modding a lot latly. I like to try to point the newbies in the right direction.
IIt saves a lot of confusion and time for Ng and them.

Sorry that someone list is getting blamed for me being an active bbs mod.
That was never my intent. I been having some fun here and there, you know you do see me going out there and making silly topics like some of the other mods. You will still find a lot of my posts are trying to help people out with thier questions. Also I like to have some fun.
You know it is possible to do that..
I'll end this here. I will see you all on monday, I have a life I will be enjoying this weekend.

It used to be that you need 10K in one stat only until recently, but you can thank Wade for deciding that keeping those lists up to date somehow constitutes a DDoS attack on newgrounds (a site that saturates a 600 mbps pipe with just its regular traffic, one might add).

Wade didn't decide that keeping the lists up to date was a DDOS attack, he decided that the use of programs such as those of pieoncar and ShittyKitty were a DDOS. Slight difference there. Manually making lists is perfectly fine with him.

Admittedly, Wade probably (?) didn't have the pentalist in mind when he said that, but still, he pretty much cracked down on *all* lists, which is a real pity IMO.

I mean... sure, there should be *some* limit. "I just got 18419 blams" simply isn't a noteworthy achievement (even though it's more than most people have), but it's difficult to say where the line should be drawn, and I personally lean towards erring on the safe side, so to speak. In other words, when there's doubt, then an achievement should be allowed - the rules should only forbid something when one can explain the reasoning behind it.

Common sense should be the only guidelines necessary to deciding what makes a valid post and what doesn't, but unfortunately not everyone has the same amount of it or even the same TYPE of it.

All that needs to be said is that each mod on the BBS has been granted the ability to use their own judgement in enforcing the rules, and one of the least understood rules by many BBS users is "make sure your post adds something to the thread." If a post is nothing but "I just got 18419 blams," whether it is in this topic or ANY other, any mod would be totally justified in deleting it.

People need to learn not to bitch if a post of theirs gets deleted, most importantly. They should be glad they weren't banned along with the deletion.

RC and I are only concerned with getting people thinking about what should and should not be considered good conversation in this topic, so it doesn't get overrun in pointless posts--as it has tended towards in the past.

I simply suggested that the problem might very well self-correct without the need for drastic or dranconian measures.

I don't think it's the oftenness of your posting that Recon was commenting on, it was more the lengths of most of your posts. Lock messages don't have to be long, and maybe he wasn't taking note of which are lock messages and which are actual conversational posts in other topics, but... I think he felt it was somewhat hypocritical of you to come into this topic and say everyone should be less chatty when your posts appear chatty to him. Or something.

II could point out from the group I was modded with, that actually one of the other mods make me look like a slacker when it comes to posting. Plus there are some reg users on the BBS that do more than me also. As gfoxcook pointed out if you take the time check out how many of my post are lock messages you would be surprised. A lot of that is due to the fact one of the forums I have been modding a lot latly. I like to try to point the newbies in the right direction.
IIt saves a lot of confusion and time for Ng and them.

True enough. I did indeed mention the lock messages phenomenon, but as you and Maus just pointed it, it's the fact that you're modding a lot in C&C that adds even more lock messages into the daily postcount.

I've only modded a bit on C&C. It's the worst place to mod. I'm glad to hear you're taking it on. #;-}>

Anyway... I myself posted two lock messages today, the most I've posted in months. But you and Maus and some others probably post... what, 20+ a day?

Sorry that someone list is getting blamed for me being an active bbs mod.
That was never my intent. I been having some fun here and there, you know you do see me going out there and making silly topics like some of the other mods. You will still find a lot of my posts are trying to help people out with thier questions. Also I like to have some fun.
You know it is possible to do that..
I'll end this here. I will see you all on monday, I have a life I will be enjoying this weekend.

I think Recon thinks your short-rapid posts are meant to get you to quadlisted status ASAP. But anyway, I hope the above straightens it all out. Have a good weekend! Don't forget to check out the pentalist and comment in the thread when you get the chance, BTW!

...

P.S. The truly ironic part of all this, BTW, is that before you were modded, the only reason a lot more mods weren't telling Wade to mod you (I think mostly TheJoe and myself said you should be modded back in 2004) was that... you just plain didn't post very often on the BBS. A lot of people thought you liked being just a review mod and didn't post enough on the BBS to really need/want to be a BBS mod.

But obviously, you've proven that thought wrong with your amazing posting/locking/banning prowess since you were modded in 2005, so... heh. Little did most of the other mods know, eh? #;-}>

Yeah, I have seen your post count rocketing forward over the past few months ; )

Congratualtions to everyone else who has levelled up.

That's exactly what I was commenting on gfox. I'm glad someone understood.

but... I think he felt it was somewhat hypocritical of you to come into this topic and say everyone should be less chatty when your posts appear chatty to him. Or something.

Gee do you think??? Go figure. The one word I happen to misspell ends up being hypocrisy (lol).

I'm not blaming gfox's pentalist for your extreme posting habits ramagi but it could be a motive for some people. Hey, if you want to go from "Blam Queen" to "Spam Queen" then more power to you. It can't say much about your ethics. Anyway, I just wanted to express my opinion. Post away!

And I'm glad I reworded your comments without losing the meaning behind them. Always a tricky business. Heh.

How hypocritical of... you? #;-}>

That just about clears up the whole thing, I think. I suspect you and ramagi will have to agree to disagree on this matter. But anywho... there are worse things to disagree upon.

Well, of course, that's always appreciated it. But I'll bet ramagi will be too busy posting/locking/banning up a storm in General and Clubs&Crews this week to click it too often. #;-}>

That task is left to those of us with too much time on our hands. :::nods solemnly:::

Speaking of which... :::goes to try and vote in the fannet again, even though I think my click 20 minutes ago to check on the week's overall stats before posting about the update counted as my click for today ;_; :::

Update is up and ready for everyone to view, if you couldn't tell from the above paragraph! #;-}>

It's nice to see the topic starter of this amazing thread still active. It's kind of interesting to look back at the first page and see who is still around.

gfox... african americans can work very lazily at times if they are distracted... I can be working all out while they sit around and talk... Indians are alright, but they laugh at almost anything. But anyway, working at mcdonalds is a pain in the ass. Today I had to take on 3 or 4 roles at the same time just because their labor expense was too high.... which is stupid. I had to take orders at the front counter.. take orders in drive-thru.. take money in drive-thru hand food out in drive-thru and take care of people at the front counter all at the same time because the manager decided to walk a way for a while.... which really pissed me off and stressed the hell out of me. Mcdonalds will do anything to get people's money and put stress on their employees and not pay their employees to the amount that they are really worth... Mcdonalds is just an overall worst choice to work at. The people that I work with are nice... but it's just the concept is what makes it terrible.. and the pay.

It's McDonald's for fuck's sake!

On a further note, the post being quoted was more than slightly racist, and ignorant, as well as biased with prejudice.

Yes it is..... seeing that at that time i was about 11 years old, and that people like recon and phantom still deposit and post.

At least you make a living.

Moral: Stay in school, kids.

I have not spent too much time on NG lately. But I still found out that I had become a top 7000 exp user and a top 450 b/p user (#448) when I turned my laptop on today. :D Considering that I was very tired after a LONG semister at Duke, I spent most of my time sleeping in the past 3 days after going back home. However, I think that I am full of energy again after THE REST. So I shall spend more time on NG from today on. Any way, I hope that I can be a top 400 b/p user soon. ;)

Well many people seem to think i still review... i have retired from reviews except for movies that really catch my interest or im in the mood, so yes kwas will pass me at some point....

Wha? It's a food now?

Haku was earlier. Haku means either to vomit or to put on clothes (below the waist).

Haha, those crazy Japanese and their dual meanings.

Zaku is the guy whose arms are blown up by Shino.

Oh yeah, totally forgot about him.

I know Akatsuki's intentions.

Cool, I recently watched episode 134, so that Akatsuki thing's still pretty obscure.

Check on halo and counter strike on the front page, sweet ass games.

The Counter Strike one was pretty good, but the Halo one was boring.

Completed Alien Hominid this week, also a sweet fucking game,
Lemme know how ur doing and quickly!

Pretty good, I guess, don't have school tomorrow.

That actually happens to me a lot. But it doesn't really matter, as I don't need more of one type of points.

Still, that had to have been a horrible nightmare. Someone should make a horror movie about it.

Helmets are for geeks!!! Good to see you stop by spancker.

Congratulations everyone on your level ups.

I'm now marching to level 10 and it'll be mine in about a week. If I deposited regularly since I signed up, I would be level 13. Darn.

Anyways... Congratulations everyone. Good luck in further level ups. :)
