I know what you're all thinking: Finally, a thread for post whores, by post whores. Of course, the Last Post and Hug threads seem to fit that definition, too, but that's not the point. The point is that there is no point.
Thank you for your time.

Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :
Sorry, Tammy. I guess I wasn't clear; this place is for people with over 2000 posts. Go spend a few hours on the Last Post thread, and then you can be a member of the club.
Posted by Dan_raven (Member # 3383) on :
Thanks for the definition JonBOy. I was scared this was a thread for fence-posts of the evening.

What about attention whores?
Oh, Ralphie!
Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :
Ah, Ralphie's a sweetie. She loves attention, but she really does give out the attention and love as well. She deserves every minion and bit of adoration she gets. Posted by T_Smith (Member # 3734) on :

I know I'm not a post whore yet officially, but if I don't utilize this oppertunity to post for no reason then even when I do reach 2,000 posts, I will never be a true post whore at heart.

Posted by Xavier (Member # 405) on :
I technically have more than 2000 posts, but they come from a period of more than 4 years. I don't think anyone could accuse me of post-whoring.
I am an ego-poster though. I think 90% of my posts are about myself in some way.

And I am a prude who posts.

Jon Boy:
*grin* Nothing I have said needs to be denied to have anything you have said be true.
On the other hand, nothing I have said corroborates anything you have said, so it's, you know, entirely within the realm of possibility you're making it all up in compensation for that vanished sense of humor.
*pat pat* Now excuse me, I need to get back to applauding the new guy. Have you see his portfolio? That's so cool!

Thanks for the 10K! I always look forward to your posts!

Aw, thank you Elaine.
Oh, this is a great thread. *happy* Considering I blew my 8,000 post teasing Jon Boy, I like the idea of his post thread becoming an anthem to a potential rival and a praise thread for me. *hums happily*

Annie,
"From" is really an area of negotiation right now.
Between Kalispell and Whitefish. Thanks for the copmliments, though the images I have on my site are pretty old. Must force myself to update soon.
I used to live in Missoula and spent a little time in Dillon as well.

Jon Boy, you mean what I said is so important enough to you that you needed an ego-validation to eliminate the pain? Wow! I didn't know my opinion means that much to you. I'll be so much more careful now, dearie. *writes down in journal - Only tease Jon Boy on Tuesdays*

that has to be the best analogy I've heard yet, sis. Posted by Javert Hugo (Member # 3980) on :

*sticks out hand to Jon Boy* I'd feel just horrible about that. Okay, no more taunting for today. You're not a fragile poodle. You're funny. It can't have just dissapeared like that. Pat's happily married and he's funny, and you're mini-Pat, so it should be fine. You know. Someday. Okay, now I swear I mean it. No more for today.
How's school and the writing and such going?

Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :
You know, I still find myself quite funny. I'm not at all worried, no matter how much other people may say that I've changed. But on the whole, things are good. I just finished my last final, and I have a lighter class load next semester, so I'll be able to work on writing and art and stuff (hopefully).
Posted by Javert Hugo (Member # 3980) on :
I don't think funny dissapears.
I also think the funniest people have an edge. While it is very fun to be around those with an edge, it is often not happy to BE the one with edge. It means you've been sliced.
At the moment, you've lost the edge, but not the essential humor. It means you've gone from Bloom County to Family Circus, but, as per Pat, it'll be back when you reach equilibrium, I think.
Also, you don't have as much vested interest in making Hatrack laugh, so I don't think you try as hard.
Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :
I don't like this alter-Kat stuff.
It really throws off my groove
Posted by Javert Hugo (Member # 3980) on :
Sorry - I've decided to do the landmark, and I need to write it, and I have to wrap and send 12 presents to nieces and nephews, and finish a major work project by Friday, and see Lord of the Rings, and organize a trip to Houston for Saturday, and put together and overnight a package to my baby brother, and call my aunt figure out how I'm going to be in two different places for Christmas, and I'm such an addict I can't not post for that long. It won't last long. This is only the emergency username.
I used Stanlie for a few months back in '02, but I think I gave it away during the Great Registration Freeze of the winter of '03.
Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :
Right now I'm Family Circus?
Yeah, I think the biggest thing is that making Hatrack laugh just isn't my biggest priority. I still love hanging out here, but right now it's a place to zone out and relax, not a place to be astonishingly witty. I just don't have the energy right now.
Posted by Javert Hugo (Member # 3980) on :
And that's okay. You don't have to perform to be a part of Hatrack. You just don't get the laughs then that you do when you do perform.
If it helps, the biggest laugh I got in the last week was entirely accidental. I'm trying to figure out whether to claim it, or else keep quiet and pretend I meant to be that funny.
This happens to me a lot. I remember Bob starting the "Specific Culture Questions" and started off with questions for the rich. It included questions like "What do you do if you find the butler passed-out drunk on the couch?" and "How high should the fence around the private beach reach?" I answered every one and got huge laughs. *sigh* Sadly, I didn't know it was a joke and was happily doing my best. I wish I'd saved it now.

Dude, if that's the only reason that you curl your nose hair, don't bother; I don't do it either.

Oh, good. I guess I can stop. And anyway, cramming curlers up your nose is really painful.

Wait a sec...
Damn. Nevermind.
Posted by The Rabbit (Member # 671) on :
I think that in order to be a true post whore, one needs to account not only for the number of posts but for the length of time the individual has been registered at hatrack.
For example, Ryoku has only been around for 9 months and has almost the same number of posts as I do after nearly 4 years.
Posted by twinky (Member # 693) on :
True. kat has been here less time than me, yet she's almost at the 10k mark. I'm not even at 4k.
Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :
For a true post whore, I think signal-to-noise ratio should be considered. There are people with over a thousand posts who have yet to actually say anything.
I blame the post whore THREADS, like the hug and last post threads.
Posted by twinky (Member # 693) on :
I also recall you once blaming the UBB format (as opposed to the "old board" format) for shortening the average post.
Posted by Bob the Lawyer (Member # 3278) on :
And there's people like me. While I've never set foot in the last post thread nor the hug thread (that I can recall) I'm still quite confident in saying that the vast majority of my posts have been noise.
Move along, folks. No signal to see here.
Posted by twinky (Member # 693) on :
Does this mean my computer is working?
Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :
"I also recall you once blaming the UBB format (as opposed to the 'old board' format) for shortening the average post."
Yep. It's made it much harder to have serious "intellectual" conversations -- which has been both a good and a bad thing.
Posted by Bob the Lawyer (Member # 3278) on :
No, it means I haven't checked to see if your computer is working because I'm still on campus. Don't worry, I'll let you know when something happens. For better or worse.

Javert, before you get irate about Raia's posting more than you in less time, I recomend that you seek out Eruve Nandiriel and check her post count and registration date, she is an inspiration to post whores everywhere. Just Kidding EN Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :

The curvature of nose hair would seem to be dependent upon how much lateral pressure is regularly being applied to the nasal follicles by the digits. The flatter the follicle, the curlier the hair.

No, you're not. Which is part of why Raia and I both have far higher average post per day rates.
