IMO, if someone wants to do that then they should go for it. Otherwise I look at this thread as just a good natured discussion. This thread, yes, but I often see comments on other threads about post counts, and I just don’t get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkjretired Posted October 29, 2018 #27 Share Posted October 29, 2018 (edited) The post count is not really accurate for a couple of reasons. First, charter members like myself accumulated thousands of posts from 1995 to 2000 and lost them all when CC went from AOL to the internet. Second, many of us lost thousands of posts during at least two computer upgrades. If I had to guess I probably had 100, 000 posts years ago and I’m sure there are others . That is why I don’t care about post counts. Edited October 29, 2018 by dkjretired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if that is still something we can find here. Before the upgrade there was a "Members List" that had all the members with at least 300 posts. You could sort the info (like a spreadsheet) by number of posts. It is gone now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. A welcome to the site and some direction or navigation help for the site is usually appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ldubs Posted October 29, 2018 #31 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Well, what I think is that having a high post count means you have made a lot of posts. Many members with high post counts also contribute a lot to the forum (beyond just a count). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUT2407 Posted October 29, 2018 #35 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I think good natured chat is a good thing, especially on roll calls, you are going to send time with these people, getting to know ach other is a I’d thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marco Posted October 30, 2018 #43 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I guess if everyone posted things like "welcome to cruise critic" "thank you" "you're welcome", "you should post your question on the XXX board", "the above poster is correct" there would be a lot more 100,000-ers.

I thought I was pretty old, but this escaped me. Mr. Google straightened me out. I do remember that show, but it is pretty fuzzy. My dominant memory from that show is "Too the moon, Alice." After another Google visit, it looks like I don't remember that correctly, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
