Reviews are way more difficult than to post, it demands attention, critisism and intelligence ( you have to do it good and make it good, or your reviews could get flagged and everything ). Anyways, post are easier, they just demand intelligence and common sense.

BTW, gfox, I'll vote for you as "1337 Poster" of 2004 at the Dobio Awards ! You post so much ! I'm just wondering WHEN are you going to pass me on posts man.

There ya go. You said it, man.

Plus, for me, personally, I usually watch the flash a couple times while I'm reviewing it... that's part of the reason my reviews are so long and descriptive. So it takes full concentration. Whereas I'm watching ESPN right now while I'm typing this. Posting is so easy, comparatively. #;-}>

heh. Someone did vote for me as top poster in 2003. Just one, though. #;-}> Got another vote for nice guy and 3 for best mod, strangely enough.

But anyway, if you're saying you're basing that on how much I post... man, I've been posting since January 20th of 2003, almost a full year of posting pretty soon... and I only have 4343 posts.

I got quite a few votes too in that thread, but that's all most likely due to the fact that I have a pretty decent-sized following in the OCP. Last I checked, I got three votes for the Top Poster category, one vote for Mr. Nice Guy, and one-and-a-half votes for Mr. Coherent. Don't ask about that last one. Of course, the irony here is in the fact that all three people who voted me for Top Poster are in the OCP. And the OCP was voted the Worst Club of 2003. Ugh.

As for talking about my post count in relation to being a "Top Poster", post count means nothing in those little contests. I mean, you're much more liked by the other BBS regulars. In fact, I know tons of people who still hate me because of my post count. The thing is, when you get right down to it, it's all a popularity contest. And, of course, quality of posts matters a lot too. In my opinion, your posts are infinitely more informative than mine. Thus, you are much more qualified to win "Top Poster" than I am. I've said it before and I'll say it again. I'm really nothing more than a "noob" with 10000 posts!

Don't be so pessimistic dude. You are not a noob. At least, not at making pictures and animated gifs ! I could NEVER do that (just the little OCP thingy). I mean, you do loads of pictures for the OCP and stuff, they were very good ! You aren't a noob at that !
Neither at NG man. You are like what ? Level 10 ? 10,000 Posts ? Loads of B/P ? You know about NG (even if it's just a little) ? You were the leader of a huge crew ?

You are not a noob :-)

You know what's hilarious about that? Now, this may come as a slight shock to you but I didn't make a single one of those OCP logos! It was always the other members of the club. All I did was post them all over the damn place. Which, I suppose, is more or less picture spamming, but let's not get into that. The mods are watching. But yeah, it's not even just the OCP logos. Out of the hundreds and hundreds of pictures that I have on my computer, there is not one that I made. Not unless you count the pictures I took (with a camera, that is) and then scanned in. Sorry to burst your bubble, dude.

Actually, that does make me feel a little better. The whole OCP thing was pretty cool while it lasted. As for "knowing about NG", I think I know infinitely more about the BBS than the Flash animations. You know, what with helping people look up information in the OCP and all. It's sad, really. That was something I was really good at and now, I never have a chance to use that skill. People ask for help with finding Flash animations way more than finding threads these days. Sucks.

Oh well, guess I can always take solace in my Experience and Blam/Protects. Not to mention posts.

im gona be happy when i gt on this list. i make 60 blam points a day. and at this point i would be on 43. i should be on the list. at this rate ill be on in a month.

well, you have to keep in mind that we both passed 1337 posts on the same day. We just took different style paths from then on out. You wrote tons of smaller posts, I tend to write longer posts less often.

And while you're correct in thinking that your huge quantity of posts has rubbed some people the wrong way (sometimes it's probably just jealousy of how you did it without getting banned 10 times, though)... you have to also keep in mind that the length of many of my posts rubs plenty of people the wrong way, too. I get plenty of complaints about it. Maybe not as much as you used to get about your sheer quantity, but still. Eh.

My fave shows are Around the Horn and Pardon the Interruption, but I'll often have Sportscenter reruns on in the background overnight and so forth. Outside the Lines and the Sports Reporters are fairly cool, but I usually only see them early on Sunday morning if I stayed up all night (like yesterday!).

Why do you ask? Do you get ESPN in Europe? That's probably a silly question, but I'm still asking it. #;-}>

Hey, keep in mind, I also got at least three nominations in the Biggest Spammer category as well. Hell, even _lightning_ wanted to me to win that. (But that might just be because he can't get past me with Blam/Protect points. Just kidding.) Come to think of it, I got a hell of a lot of nominations in that thread. Aside from all the ones I've already mentioned, I also got one for Most Under Appreciated User from Dobio. Wow, people actually know who I am. Then again, with 10000 posts, I suppose I'm hard to miss.

I guess people just don't associate longwindedness with coherence any longer. Alas, alas, alas. (sigh)

That might not be true. If not for the recent philosophical threads I created or the long replies in the debates I've taken part in lately, I doubt I would have gotten those nominations. I mean, just take a quick look at the five most recent pages or so of my post history. Almost all of them are two or more paragraphs long. We may have more in common than you know. I think I just got carried away a bit during the summer months. You know, with my posting and all. Still, I have no regrets.

Well, thanks. It feels nice to be appreciated. Of course, that whole "noob" thing is a matter of opinion as well. Something tells me that no matter how much Experience I get, or how many Blam/Protect points I get, most of the "regulars" here will still always see me as a "noob". Not that I have anything against that. I'm sure it's different for different people. I mean, I do have three Top Poster nominations to counteract the three Biggest Spammer nominations. Yeah, it's been a good year. By the way, I never got the chance to thank you for not being a jackass to me during the three-month posting spree that was my summer. Well, I'm doing that now. Thanks a million, gfoxcook. I'll always remember the day we both hit 1337 posts.

well, keep in mind I was only shrugging off alex's comment about me posting tons, I wasn't saying I was competing for lowest post rate on NG or anything.

Heck, even with my nearly 4 year account age, my 3+ technical ppd is still higher than the majority of BBS users, and obviously the ~12ppd I came up with for the year I've actually been posting is...

Yeah, but Jonas wasn't looking for slight occurances of pic spamming that could be buried 150 pages back. Jonas was pretty much finding pic spam on every single page of M2D's post history, I'll wager. Plus, he doesn't have 10,000+ posts like biteme does. #;-}>

true. Okay, okay, I'll stop havin' fun bitching and whining. 5 positive votes and not one vote for a negative category = pretty good stuff, especially since I'm not that well known and don't post a lot on general, where most of the voters were from.

(But that might just be because he can't get past me with Blam/Protect points. Just kidding.)

yarrrrr. And I'm sure plenty of those posts were on general.

Whereas I'd estimate that 3000 of my posts are here on WIHT, 1000 are on general, and ~400 are elsewhere (mostly C&C and the mod forums, but perhaps a couple (literally, at most) in flash and programming and politics).

I guess people just don't associate longwindedness with coherence any longer. Alas, alas, alas. (sigh)

I'm not saying you don't make any long posts, man. I'm just saying that in the long run, you didn't make 10,000 long posts.

Nor did I make 4000 long posts, but I certainly made 2000+ long posts. I'd guess half of my posts would qualify by most people's standards as long for the NG BBS.

I mean, two or more paragraphs, as you put it, is one thing. How often do you have to repost due to hitting the 6500 character limit? For me, it happens a few times each week, on average.

(snip)

These are not the marks of a noob, even if getting to 10,000 posts in itself wasn't enough.

Well, thanks. It feels nice to be appreciated. Of course, that whole "noob" thing is a matter of opinion as well. Something tells me that no matter how much Experience I get, or how many Blam/Protect points I get, most of the "regulars" here will still always see me as a "noob".

Well, then it's only because of time... because of seniority. In a couple years, if you're still around, I'd wager a lot of the regs who see you as noobs will have left NG by then.

So who's going to be the "reg" then, eh? Probably you.

Not that I have anything against that. I'm sure it's different for different people. I mean, I do have three Top Poster nominations to counteract the three Biggest Spammer nominations.

heh. That was back in April or May, though. What about the summer specifically are you apologising for? It's not like you were posting shitloads in all the topics I read and thus pissing me off or anything. Heck, most of the posts I've seen from you have been in OCP when I was there to check things out. IOW, I wasn't being forced to read your posts. But anywho...

Your contributions to the WIHT forum have been noticed, and all positive. You may not post here as much as you did in OCP and general (and that may be a good thing, as our tiny forum might have exploded #;-}>), but what you did post was good. And still is! I'm talking about you like this is your funeral or something. WHACKED.

80% of the year? Oh, please. Like I said, the majority of my posting took place in the summer months, and if, in your opinion, I was spamming at the time, that's still only about 30% of the year. I didn't even join Newgrounds until mid-February, mind you. And since September, I've barely been posting at all. Besides, I only attract so much attention because I'm one of the newer people here. Surely there are regulars who "spam" as much as I did back in the summer of 2003, but no one ever pays any attention to them because of the social hierarchy of the BBS. It's all based on Sign-Up Date, I tell you!

lol don't care he's only 200 points a way so me be i'll even catch him again one day =P

Hey, I was only joking, you know. There isn't any animosity between us, is there? I know you probably don't even care about my existence, but I'm just checking. You can never be too sure.

Well, considering the topics on page one of General right now, I can see your point. Of course, that's only because the topics suck these days. I remember during my little posting spree, getting 3000 posts without getting banned was quite easy. I mean, with my 10000 posts, I've only been banned twice and one of them was based on a little misunderstanding on my part because I didn't know what "pre-emptive" meant at the time. Yeah, stupid me. But yeah, all you really need to do is make sure your post pertains to the initial topic somehow. By the way, I am, in no way, advocating spamming right now. I'm just talking in terms of quantity because everyone else seems to be. Either way, I managed 3000 posts without getting banned over a period of around two months. This was after the second ban, by the way. It's really not that hard. Then again, I'm talking about the times when I still made little short replies to everything. Now that I actually take it upon myself to make longer, more thoughtful posts, I couldn't make 3000 posts in two months if I spent the entire duration of those two months sitting in front of my computer. Oh well, it's not that important anyways.

You know it. That thread must have given me around 500 posts, at least. Even if that's an exaggeration, it isn't much of one. Oh well, I don't really use game threads that much anymore. I mean, I know perfectly well that there's an identical thread floating around General now that isn't locked entitled Two Question Game!, but I just don't feel up to it anymore. I used to find games like that entertaining, but lately, I've been too busy with my real life to waste time on that kind of thing and I've also been more occupied with other things on Newgrounds to really give a crap about threads like that. But yeah, Would You Rather? was one of my favourite threads during my summer posting spree. As far as I was concerned, I was having fun and racking up posts like mad. In my book, that was a good thing. I was actually pretty pissed off when that thread was locked, now that I think about it. Oh well, at least I'll always remember getting both the 1337th and 2514th post in that thread. I think I have a screenshot of the 1337th one, as a matter of fact. Too bad it's not a very good one...

i thought this might be funny. It's nor everyday that you make one...

my secret is that i only post when i want to say something.
