Any AG user in the Forums know what posts are and how to gain them, but what do they actually mean to you? Are they rewards? Do you feel as if you could care less about them? Is there any specific reason you want to gain more(or less for some reason) posts?
To me posts are there to basically tell the community how long you've been to the community or how active, it shows how much you are a part of the community.
Plus I wanna catch up to pang. You just wait pang, I'll catch you some day.
Do you mean the post count numbers? If so, they are the simplest numerical value that can be ascribed to total forum activity, and nothing more. If not, I have no idea what this thread is about.
Posts, they help keep my yard separate from other yards as part of my fence. Post, a company that makes a lot of cereal. Posts, the things that goalies stand between.
But for AG posts, I don't know, it's fun to gain more posts as long as the posts are not spam. Quality should really be the important part of making the posts, but I think it's hard to not to equate a high post count with some sort of value. Although it is more impressive to have a high post count in which almost all of your posts are high in quality.
They show how active I have been and how many places there are to post. If I don't post as much in a week on a daily basis, that means it's a slow week for forum activity.
My post count is really more of a countdown. At some point in the future (at the rate I post, the FAR future), I will reach some critical quantity and the community will be saturated with aknerdity. In this moment, everyone will be as I am. Members will grow wings, and join me in flight amongst the rainbows.
I like having a big number next to my name. Even if the big number was accumulated by posting in a place that now no longer adds to your total post count.
