At What Point

Atrocities · #1 October 21st, 2003, 09:59 AM

At what point do you think a person has reached a respectable level here in the forums?

the first question is a null; i try to at least respect the fact that the other person is capable of thought and has infinite potential.

addiction can't be measured by post frequency. myself, i have to remind myself to read the forums.

I was going to say that the answer to the first question was when you either a) offer someone cheese, or b) whack them with a hammer.

The first question needs an answer of 1. Everyone starts out with respect around here.

Post count does not mean much. There are a lot of posters that are just yakky. They yak yak yak about nothing. Same folks seem to take great pride in their counts. But on the other hand there are a few who seem to be willing to answer people�s questions, and are often sought out for answers. These would be the people who have earned respect.

Anyone who visits the forum every day has the habit. But it is the game, not the forum that puts the monkey on your back.

Example: Loser vs. Slick

code:

        post count    member #

Loser        ~1060        2662

Slick         ~715        2681

But who has contributed more to the community? Who has greater respect?

I believe that Slick does. And right he should. It's all about content.

Tim Brooks has only 453 Posts at the moment.

We should gather a list of the TOP 10 posters.

I think Fyron is # 1 on that followed by Suicide Junkie, Geo, myself, etc

(insert comment from Fyron about how a REAL bulletin board system would do that AUTOMATICALLY)

Ok, I just did the old coffee out of the nose trick when I read this. Loser, I'm not sure why you picked me for the little comparison here, but the SE4 community here is tops in my book. I certainly don't see you as having less of my respect than anyone else. There aren't any real troublemakers here and everyone has a pretty high level of maturity and mutual support for these games. I think that's what matters.

Slick.
