Calax Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 I realize we've gone over this before, but that was years ago and I just wanted to bring it up again for discussion, should we/could we get our WOT posts counted in the little post counter under our profile? Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
ShadySands Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 I hope not I try (and often fail) to keep all my nonsense contained to WOT so my number won't go up I'm just not that kind of guy 1 Free games updated 3/4/21

It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead" - Nelson Mandela
Zoraptor Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Having posts in OT forums count towards post totals tends to encourage spamming in those forums. Post counting should remain on the gold standard, lest they become subject to inflation and devaluation. 1
Blarghagh Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Do people still care about posts counts this day and age? 1
Gfted1 Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 ^Apparently. I do sometimes wonder what my post count would be if it included WoT. "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
Amentep Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 I think post counts should be invisible. They offer nothing of real value as far as I can see, yet still somehow manage to be a source of several bones of contention. Or assigned arbitrarily by a random number generator at midnight every night. 3 I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man
Malcador Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 They should count negatively. 2 Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
kirottu Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 They should count negatively. You monster. This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.
213374U Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 (edited) How about we find a way to convert post counts to minutes. I estimate that a weighted average of what it takes me to write up a post is about 5 minutes (taking into consideration both drive-bys and walls of text). So my post count would be equivalent to 375+ hours spent ****posting here. Wow, more than I have logged in any one single game... T.O.M.B.S. GOTY 2015 edit: wait, that's without the hidden WoT posts.

FML But remember, that's 375+ hours over 11 years (3878 days), so even if WOT doubled with your post count, its still only about 4.5 hours a day. For 11 years. Not making it any better, am I?

rjshae Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 I think we should have a separate WTF count to cover WOT posts... "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats."
mkreku Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 You are. Now we know two things: 2leet fails at life and Amentep fails at math. (~800 hours/3878 days = 0.2 hours per day) Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Amentep Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 You are. Now we know two things: 2leet fails at life and Amentep fails at math. (~800 hours/3878 days = 0.2 hours per day) 3878 days = 93072 hours 800 hours / 93072 hours = .009 (.9%) .9% of 24 hours = .2 hours I forgot to keep track of my units. I'm properly mortified.

ManifestedISO Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 I don't know, but the view counter is still broken. How can I achieve meaningfully hollow self-worth online without an arbitrary, increasing number ... All Stop. On Screen.
HoonDing Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 Randomize everyone's post number. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Leferd Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Can we just pay for post counts? Or make it a $$ add on for future Kickstarter campaigns? Gotta monetize this like piecemeal DLC. "Things are funny...are comedic, because they mix the real with the absurd." - Buzz Aldrin."P-O-T-A-T-O-E" - Dan Quayle
Gromnir Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Can we just pay for post counts? Or make it a $$ add on for future Kickstarter campaigns? Gotta monetize this like piecemeal DLC. the notion o' paying to increase post counts is absurd. on the other hand, we might consider paying to reduce our post count. is kinda a barometer o' shame, no? HA! Good Fun! "If there be time to expose through discussion the falsehood and fallacies, to avert the evil by the processes of education, the remedy to be applied is more speech, not enforced silence."Justice Louis Brandeis, Concurring, Whitney v.

ManifestedISO Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 The shame is inversely proportional to join date. I think I said that right, I'm a little drunk on ketchup-sriracha tater tots. All Stop. On Screen.
Leferd Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 That's a novel idea. How about we just pay to obfuscate post counts all together? 1 "Things are funny...are comedic, because they mix the real with the absurd." - Buzz Aldrin."P-O-T-A-T-O-E" - Dan Quayle
