Post Count

Post by Tilly18 »

How do I tell how many posts I've made?
I think it should be said under our name or something.

Here's the most recent thread on this in the bored board:

nick/bb/viewtopic.php?t=48249

And, for the nostalgic among us, a discussion about post counts from a few years back in the bored board, that predictably got derailed when Daks claimed that he wanted to have boobs:

nick/bb/viewtopic.php?t=21350

It's interesting to compare - only four years ago, 3000 odd posts would have had you in the top 10. Nowadays, everyone in the top 10 has at least 10,000.

FWIW, the general consensus over the years (from what I'm aware) has been that having the post count underneath the usernames only encourages posting with the sole purpose of increasing one's post count, among other things.

There are still two simple ways of checking how many posts you have made, by either going to search and typing in your username, or (if you're a bored board member) clicking on 'usergroups' up the top of the screen and selecting bored board. The latter may be considered to be more accurate as it includes deleted posts in the tally.

I can confidently say that all my posts have been quality. I'll endeavor to keep up the the good work, if only I had a tally noted under my username so as to remind everyone of their esteemed company.
