How do people post so much? It's ridiculous! I've been a member since 2004 and this is post 2350. I think people setup posting bots or something.

Naah, I see cats on here that are on these threads like it's their job. I still lurk and post a little here and there.
 
No, but I have noticed the first few years I was here 2013-16 I didn't post much, maybe 1 or 2 a week. Since then my posts have skyrocketed. So now that I think about it....I guess I probably do care.
 
I made this post to be able to click my username to check it.

Edit: just over 1k, that's pretty high for someone that never posts.
 
Nah. I think every thousandth post I hut is a milestone but I've always lurked more than participate.

Stealth Edit: over 7.5k. I like it here.

I think it is sort of cool when I notice that I have hit a new 10k mark, but I don't actively track it. I usually just see it in passing when trying to access my old threads through my profile.

I think after coming into this thread is the first time I've looked at mine in a while.

I tend to be a lurker on any forum I'm a member of, so it's kinda low, as expected.

I didn't even know what mine was before I clicked this thread, so not really. Most of them are probably shitposts anyway.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Nah, I just share my account with all my friends. If you see a good post, that's me. If the post is bad, know you know the reason.

Oh by the way, I don't have any friends, but don't let that confuse you. I only write the good posts!

You really think it's weird that people post more than once every two days? It takes 30 seconds to write a short post.

I'll admit I like seeing it go higher a little bit. It's a remnant of an addiction I have from NSider where users got higher ranks and more privileges the higher their post count was (which is in theory a fun idea that makes the forum into more of a game, but in practice just encourages people to spam).

The culture behind it was funny though. I remember there were weekly leaderboards somewhere for people who posted the most. People who posted hundreds of times a day and pretty much spent all day on there. A couple of people famous for breaking 10k in less than four months.

Not really after I reached 300. Once when I went into my profile and I had 4.20 posts per day, that made me smile. I also often try to actually avoid short one word or sentence posts, so I just don't post if I feel I don't have much to contribute. And many times I just rather edit something into my earlier post than make another one quickly after.
