Post Count

[Jammin'Jarhead]

I just noticed that my post count has said 900 for the last several posts...funny I was just at 904 a few minutes ago.

Will I never be a COMMANDER?!?

:help

[Jammin'Jarhead]

:stupid Nevermind...I guess you lose credit for deleted threads...first time I ever noticed. Just ignore my rambling

[Jammin'Jarhead]

Now I'm just blatantly cheating to get my post count back up! :nono

[Jammin'Jarhead]

Okay...there we go!

:whistle :whistle

[RockStringBender]

musta been some thread deletions.

yer already a kommander to some. Another month and it'll be cast in binary code :toast

[Tourpicx]

Anthony, I think your title turns to "Kommander" once you hit 1000 posts.

[webbhead13]

I personnaly Believe that the post count and titles should be done away with because it is always a point of contention as soon as some shit gets stirred up people want to throw the "I was here before you, So your opinion doesnt mean shit" line around!! It happpened at EZ board and has happened here! Pick a nickname and stick with it or dont! but I could give a shit about "RANK" :flipa

Just MHO!!!

[SamboraRocks86]

you know this thread could be deleted and thus, you'll just lose those posts you made. :D

[webbhead13]

:thumbsup :funny :happy1 :thumbsup

I agree and exactly Bill. I was in a goofy mood one day so I emailed George and told him I didn't care for post counts and so I could make light of myself title me forum mascot. I mean so I wouldn't be a Kommander or whatever and peeps get the idea that entitled me to sumthin.
I actually even wish my post count wouldn't show but I don't think that can be altered.

:)

Edit: what would be kool is if you could give yourself your own title -that's a function used on some other BBs.

Well Lee I am certainly NO Kramer Master
3 chords doesnt not make you a master! :D

[sumrnitz]

I never really looked at it as rank but some may. I just always thought of it as a kind of pat on the back for hangin' around and contributing.....or in my case cracking too many bad jokes. I guess all it really does is point out that you've posted enough to get a general feel for the place.
I'd forgotten about the ez board snafu about rank.
By design, I think it was instated just to be a fun thing and may be ingrained in the forum program code itself. Who knows. Bill, you and I have been around long enough that we'd be Kingpins if it was a rank. I can honestly say that no one here looks at us an inferior Kramerite.....or Jeff...or Anthony...or many others here.
That Bob guy kinda worries me though :yikes (just kidding Bob)
Your points are well taken though.

Chris

[GtarShark]

I edited so look up Bill ....kool to make up yer own -I don't think...yes I do think Vbulletin has that cap.

Edit: well I hope I just stay forum mutt :D

[Shwayman11]

I think the ranking system is just fun- no more than that. Sure I guess the whole, "Im a Kommander, Im better than you" thing could come up but comeon, who really cares. It means NOTHING. People just need to remember that.
I say keep the rankings, they're fun and provide another source of mild entertainment on the forum.

You got me beat. I'm only at 2, but I'm practicing real hard and hope to be up to three by the end of June! :D ;)

[webbhead13]

Chris with all the mess that happened the other day
Its just something that gets tossed out every now and them and if it wasnt there its one less thing for people to gripe about. I love the Idea Lee had and picked a nickname for himself,Then the admins wont hafta worry about if someone has got there "promotion" on time or not
And I'm not saying that to start shit with you JamminJarhead.You can be a 5Star General for all I care :notworthy (We dont have a smilie that salutes)

I showed up just in time to watch EZ Board Implode, and when the crap got brought up again it just seems like maybe something that started out as fun has kinda ran its course :scratchhe

I dont know I'm just ramblin'
But I HATE what happened here and DONT want to see it again! :thumbsup
again My 2 cents!

I wanted mine to be:

1000 posts in 4 months? Get a Life Kramer Dude

:D :headbang

Go 3 armed kramer freaks :thumbsup

[KramerGeek]

I think that the post count may also reflect a lot on people who are trying to sell or buy in the Klassified section to.

Like it or not, people don't like to buy or sell to people they don't know. If a newer member sees a guitar for sale by a member here who has a high post count, he'd be a lot more likely to buy it than if the sellers post count was 40 or 50.

I know that when I first came to the forum, I needed some parts a couple times and the post count did indeed have an effect on who I was willing to deal with.

[Johnny Drama]

I want my nickname to be T-Bone.

And don't call me Koko! ;)

[webbhead13]

I'm only at 2, but I'm practicing real hard and hope to be up to three by the end of June!

Well I just move the A maj down 1 string to make the Dmaj7 and up 1 string to make some kinda E
its all on the same fret just moving one finger around! that counts as three right? :scratchhe

I can send you a chart! :happy1

Bill

[webbhead13]

Hey Geek,
your absolutely right but how about not posting the joined date.if its just post count your worried about.
Bob had only been on the board a few months and I went and snagged a duke for him. Not because of how many post he had but because of the QUALITY in HIM and his post!! Like I said its just my opinion but I didnt like seeing it get tossed up again! PERIOD!
Im not and dont want ot be a "TENURED" member,but I dont want someone tellin me my or anyone elses opinion would mean more if I or they were here longer!!!

I dont want to start a fuss over this It was just meant as a idea

:thumbsup
Bill

[KramerGeek]

Yeah... The number and date mean nothing to me any more either but unfortunately, people are people and a lot of them insist on knowing who is tenured or who has been around longer/shorter.

I'm not even sure what my join date is without opening up a post that I've contributed to and looking. That's how much it means to me.

I think though that the date and post count means a lot more to newer members and visitors than it does to anyone else.

A visitor coming here may see that there are a lot of tenured/long term members here and decide from that fact that this is a well established forum that has been around a while and will continue on in the future.

They would also be more likely to trust long term members knowing that there would be more accountability since a lot of others would know them after being around that long.

Not long after I first joined up over at the original forum, I needed some stuff. I found someone who had what I needed and I actually contacted George to see if the guy was trustable since he had low numbers.

Now, I know the regulars around here good enough that I rarely look at the numbers any more.

[sumrnitz]

This is good brainstorming in a mature manner. Excellent discussion without using lazer sights.

Chris

[sumrnitz]

I only look at two post counters.

Bruce's...so I can see what the record is

and

Bob's....so I can see if it will hit Mach I from turning so fast.

Chris

[webbhead13]

You could be right but if youve been here long enough to even see the classifieds you should have a feel for a few people enough to ask their opinion.

I was buying stuff on "another" forum without a hitch. without enough posts to even see this ones classifieds
Maybe I'm just lucky :D

[GtarShark]

I want my nickname to be T-Bone.

And don't call me Koko! ;)

Hey Koko! :D

Chris,
I dont know what this place would be like without you.. :scratchhe
You crack me up on a daily basis!!!
Thanks for being you!!! :notworthy

Bill

[bkeen]

I am just going to say that every year there seems to be a blow out. Comes and goes. But the rest of the year, these things really don't come into play.

Lets not ruin what is good about this place because of a bad week.

Be happy! :D

:thumbsup

Heh heh....Thanks for the compliment Bill :urock

There is humor everywhere, it's just our jobs to find it. I really believe laughter is the elixir to life and it heals all wounds. Free beer doesn't hurt either and seems to have a soothing effect as well.
Couple that with the fact that I am SERIOUSLY devoted to making this Forum work. I'm not part of the staff, I haven't a share in anything that makes it click but I care about the people in it. Whether I agree with someone else's views or not I can honestly say I care about everyone here.

Nowadays it seems that it's futile to try to help this forum survive. I'll be here until the lights go out with a bottle of Miracle-Grow and my corny jokes. :thumbsup

This discussion is conducive to peace though.

Bruce.... No lip synching. I'm almost deaf but I can still tell when when someone isn't really singing.

Very good point Pat, I agree totally!
I think as long as we can all be big boys the post count shouldn't bother anybody.
it only lets you know who has more time on their hands to spend talking about guitars and stuff.
my two cents

You would make a fine admin bro :thumbsup

Now, about the bearings and that spinning post count ........... :) you can shut mine off: it's embarrisin' :whistle :lol

[mrcrazyhimself]

I agree with pat. Your more likely to trust someone who has been around and atleast can contribute than someone trying to sell a holy grail with 7 posts... :-|

[Jammin'Jarhead]

You know...I find it disconserting that I don't get to participate in my own thread! Everybody's finally being nice and I miss it cuz I don't spend my work day at a computer :D

IT'S NOT FAIR! Somebody call the WHAmbulance! :happy1

As far as my post count goes...I can't help it if I have a little post envy! :funny

Now...as to new nicknames, can I be Chuckles?!?

[Shwayman11]

[KramerGeek]

Y...I can't help it if I have a little post envy! :funny



The number may not be as big as a lot of others but you made every post count. :thumbsup

[KramerUK]

When I posted about getting to 1000 posts, it was very tongue in cheek, after all mentioning it gets you another post :D
As for the 3 chords saw the funniest thing on one of the crap TV ad. channels last night, you guys may have come across it in the US before now, its called .......
The Guitar Wizard, basically tune your guitar to what looked like open E and place a metal bar across the frets and if you rock it back makes it makes it minor, flip it and it give you a 7th :D

Wish I'd thought of it they were selling shitloads of them :brow

[shepo]

Hmmm.. sound strange.. never seen it.
