BERIGAN Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 (edited) I have made several posts, and for some reason I noticed I seem stuck on 7767....a nice number to be stuck on, sure...but...I might tire of it eventually. Anyone else notice your count isn't going up??? Watch, it will after I finish this thread.... Ha, I try to add a new post, and it ended up in this one! EDIT: well, must have just been stuck for a few minutes, seems to be rolling again...never mind. Edited May 3, 2009 by BERIGAN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Alfredson Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 I decided to make political posts not count. Mainly because there are a few members which camp out there and don't contribute to the rest of the board. (I was not thinking of you, Berigan, when I changed that).

Son-of-a-Weizen Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 I've never actually understood why these post counts and member join date stats are even visible on all these boards? Almost seems like the equivalent of the military uniform with new arrivals being able to quickly id the old members (who talk alot) by the bulletin board 'stripes' they're wearing. We've got the Major Generals w/10,000+ posts.... then the 1st Lieutenants......and on down the line to the lowly weed Corporal who joined on March 20, 2009 and has a weak and pathetic post count of 7! BTW, has anyone seen Capt. 'Man With Golden Arm,' Chief Petty Officer Jim Dye and Lt. Col Couw lately? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Son-of-a-Weizen Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 (edited) Thank you for that information, Member No. 10,596. Member No. 10,596????? My goodness, I thought you were once a Major General? Must have violated a regulation and been busted down to Private? Well then, looks like Member No. 120 has someone to carry his clubs on the next golf outing! Edited May 3, 2009 by Son-of-a-Weizen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have violated a regulation and been busted down to Private? I also left the board in December 2007, along with Couw and a few others, and my account was deleted. Later I got a new account - hence the high number - and Jim managed to attach most of my old posts to the new account, that's why I have a 7,000+ post count Edited May 3, 2009 by J.A.W.

Mainly because there are a few members which camp out there and don't contribute to the rest of the board. (I was not thinking of you, Berigan, when I changed that). Ah, I get ya hadn't made many political posts of late...what is weird though is when I saw the number here, I didn't realize it did go from 7766, to 7767, and when I tried a new post, (just typed the word boo) it really did end up in the old post, did a second time as well! Could that have been since it was made in less than 60 seconds???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.:.impossible Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 On March 6, according to "Joined" dates from this thread, at least 22 members had migrated here. By March 9, at least 120! Might be interesting to dredge up those few days! That was six years ago? Wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robviti Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 never bothered to look at this feature, but i like the idea that political posts don't count. it is, after all, a music board. i wonder what people's numbers would be if the only posts to be counted were those which had some "redeeming social value." in that case, could you have a negative post count?

J.A.W. Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 (edited) Jim Dye left after he cheated me......and JAW out of some cds we bought from him...! Um... Not quite, Jim wasn't the one who cheated me out of a CD, that was German member "tjobbe", who never showed his face here again. Jim re-appeared about a year ago and promised to make good on what he owed, here. He then disappeared again a week or so later. Apparently he didn't keep his promise... Edited May 7, 2009 by J.A.W.

.:.impossible Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 That sucks. I will say that, for the most part, everyone that I have bought from here has made good. Maybe one or two misrepresented items, but overall, I have no negative experiences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone I've bought from here so far has been honest with their listings and fast to ship upon payment.
