Shrapnel\'s New National Security Advisor
 

Wow, I just made my 3500th post, and noticed that my rank is now National Security Advisor. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif I wonder if there are any more ranks ahead...

Re: Shrapnel\'s New National Security Advisor
 

I will just use this to repeat my desire for no shown post counts and no rank behind maybe Private (for those occasionally register-to-troll people)

Congratulations, Fyron! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif Wow, that's a lot of Posts...
Isn't there another one called "Ruler of the World" or something like that at 4000 Posts? You're going to be the first one to get there... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Shrapnel\'s New National Security Advisor
 

SJ has more than enough Posts to hold the ruler of the world rank. most all of them constructive and helpfull, as well.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">The new forum national security adviser has that right. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif lol

Re: Shrapnel\'s New National Security Advisor
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I am in agreement about the no post count. Then there will be far less postings just for the sake of posting. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Or if a count is to be kept, let it be at the option of the person who wants to make the inquiry. Like in could be kept in the players profile.

Then there will be far less abuse of making a post for the sake of making a post.

Similarly for ranks. If you want to keep the ranks, it could be kept in the players profile.

Congrats Fyron. Pretty soon you might be a mod of this forum. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Shrapnel\'s New National Security Advisor
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Probably not.

You know, I wish a lot more useless info on post counts and rates was shown than just total Posts and rank. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I have seen forums that also would display the number of Posts per day a member made. I believe it was based upon the total number of Posts divided by the numbers of days since you became a member of the forum.

I'd kind like to see what kind of rate Fyron went at to get to that point. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Shrapnel\'s New National Security Advisor
 

Well, somewhere between 6.09 and 6.43 Posts per day (depending on whether he registered 01 July 2001 or 31 July 2001.

There, now you know. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

In comparison, I've posted a measly 1.04 to 1.1 times per day, having registered during the same month.

Re: Shrapnel\'s New National Security Advisor
 

Ok, I did the math for me and I came up with 4.5 Posts a day for me. Although over the past month I have been averaging over 10 a day in here. But oh well I could care less about poll count. It's just something fun to mess around with. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Shrapnel\'s New National Security Advisor
 

I hit 4000 Posts on January 11, 2003. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: Shrapnel\'s New National Security Advisor
 

I am not even gonna do the math, thats how much I care. i am just glad it don't counts edits too. lol

Fyron, I had predicted an Iraqi invasion on 1/11. as the new security adviser, you must have changed history the first day on the job. lol

edit in (lol) : damn you! 7.34 per day average

"P-D, of course post count doesn't matter. Who said it did? "

Well, it results in Posts like this.. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

That and I doubt this would happen here but I've seen other forums go downhill with all the "posting to raise post count" garbage. Things like never editing, "in before the lock" on threads that were going downhill, mocking newbies, spam threads, -post macros- even.

When I say spam thread, I'm not thinking "cantina" or "thread with no name". I'm thinking "30 pages of people posting the same thing"

Re: Shrapnel\'s New National Security Advisor
 

P-D, that would indeed be bad.

Re: Shrapnel\'s New National Security Advisor
 

Hmmm... I wonder how many Posts I have....

What? No I'm not just trying to increase my rank! I am insulted by such accusations!

|zeroadunn crouches in the corner giggling to himself, hehe, soon I will have the highest rank ever achieved by mortal men!

Re: Shrapnel\'s New National Security Advisor
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">It's listed in itty-bitty print at the bottom of each of your Posts.

Re: Shrapnel\'s New National Security Advisor
 

Number of Posts is irrelevant, rank only shows how much you bable in the forums.

Re: Shrapnel\'s New National Security Advisor
 

Yeah, so? What is your point?
