So that's how you guys get your post counts up so high. Just post inane comments in a thread meant to help other drummers. I get it now. smh
Didn't you know, once you get in good with the forum, you can buy post counts? How do you think GRUNTERSDAD broke 20K?
Join date 2006= 5+K post count isn't that high really, Im somewhat offended, need a safe space.
No one ever said that having a high postcount on an internetforum automatically equals 'having a lot of knowledge' or 'saying always meaningfull things' on the given internetforum-subject..A high postcount only means that someone hitted the 'Submit Reply'-button a lot during his/her life..
And if this thread maybe can help a few people this weekend, then i would say is a worthwhile post..
High post counts does indeed infer lots of visits to the forum, and when you visit a lot, you eventually see the same subjects getting posted over and over.
So instead of replying with the same reply you've used every 2 months for the past 10 years, you say something whimsical to break the monotony. This whimsy can actually help people on the forum who've also heard the same post subject 150 times already, gives them something fresh to respond to, and it let's the lesser post count members who haven't heard the same subject 150 times already field the post, and possibly gain a golden sense of contribution, and their reply 'might' even be with advise we older members may have replied with in the past, which is always fun to see, as this reinforces the saying 'great minds think alike'.
So, jokes aren't allowed on this forum, some whimsical replies may be borderline jokes and usually slip past the mods, mods who may have 'tens of thousands' of posts... which doesn't mean they know any more about drumming, but does mean they've seen all the same subject matter and replies posted over and over and over again.
