I want some caramel popcorn. Or chocolate caramel popcorn. I make it really good, too, and I'm having huge chocolate cravings. [/whine]

Sigh. But I'm off sugar and chocolate for the most part. So I haven't had any in months and months and months and months. But what with hormones fluctuating... *whine* I want some chocolate! Posts: 8355 | Registered: Apr 2003

Sorry. I thought I'd show you a picture of heaven, so you know what you have to look forward to. Posts: 1591 | Registered: Jul 2005

You post when you have something to say. That happens to be a lot. That's entirely different from posting just to inflate your post count.
ElJay be right. It's really against post whoring for no cause, rhyme, or reason.

While it can be fun to poke fun at Tante and some others about their high post counts I don't know anyone I respect here who would consider that to be an accurate measure of how much someone has contributed to the community. At least not in and of itself.
I didn't post a lot the first three years I was here because I didn't have a computer. The times I did post were posting from public computers, or at my parents house in RI. My post count was slim, to say the least...but I still loved coming here, although I was at times taken for a noob because of my post count. No one was ever rude to me (once they finally realized I wasn't otaku, anyway) even if they mistakenly thought I was new, and once they looked at my registration date they usually realized their mistake.
I have not even make a Landmark, although I have a decent count now. I feel that in a way my everyday posts are as much of a landmark of who I am and what I believe as any specific "Landmark" thread could be, at least in some ways. I love Landmark threads, don't get me wrong, but I saved a place for one at 5000....then realized that I didn't really want to write one yet.
Being a noob doesn't mean your opinions don't matter, or that your are stupid or ignorant, it just means that we don't really know you well yet. It is also a matter of posting style sometimes, because more than a few people here stopped being noobs within months of joining. Some never really felt like noobs at all, to be honest.
And my "list" of who is and isn't a noob (not that I really have one, or really care one way or another) would differ from other peoples list, I am sure.
I think that if you post you should be adding something to the conversation. Post whores don't.

The part of this thread that amused me the most was the "I'm a TEENAGER so I can post way more!" followed by its inevitable conclusion, going off and becoming interested in something else shortly thereafter.

Almost the definition of ironic, huh?

Actually, the case of Bawls is still sitting in my car, so if anyone's caffeinated, it's not me. AoD, however... I worry sometimes.

So do I, come to think of it. I haven't had real chocolate in a while, and I had to watch my sister buy like ten bars of really expensive chocolate, one for each of her friends. Err.

Not making fun of, merely remembering what it was like to be a teenager. With perhaps a bit more perception from this side of it. And some making fun of- Oh, drat.
The only people on Hatrack that I make fun of are family.

The date tricked me because I was scanning backwards to find where the new posts started, and the old posts end on January 2, 2006, which I totally missed until I got to the top of this page.

Haha. Here, Tante, have the other gauntlet. *gives*
I resign. I just don't check this site that much anymore... well, I don't post much anymore, because I don't really have too much to say. That, and the three months I was unable to check the site because of that weird mixup with my password... *sigh*
