number of replies vs number of posts

There is an amazing differential there. Looking at the deals forum, I saw 500 views and 7 replies. amazing. __________________ I replied to yours __________________ I didn't __________________ it is very interesting how many people look at a thread and make no reply to it - be it that they don't care about what is being said, they are not a member, or they feel that they cannot contribute to the conversation. the got deals forum is probably the number one place where the number of views will outweigh the number of posts tenfold. __________________ It's those damn lurkers I tell you. Come out come out and play!!! I have some friends here. __________________ __________________ Quote: Originally posted by sillyazn You know everytime I see this guy, (the smiliely, not silly) I think he is flipping the bird... But on topic, Once apon a time, everyone starts out as a lurker, then something happens that makes them want to speak up... So, Speak Up!!! __________________ or forever hold your peace. __________________ and closer __________________ personally i dont need to hear what the loser lurkers have to say....keep it to yurself 'r i'll make ya walk da plank arrrrrrrrrrrr __________________ Quote: Originally posted by att personally i dont need to hear what the loser lurkers have to say....keep it to yurself 'r i'll make ya walk da plank arrrrrrrrrrrr Arrgh! Why do ye scruvy whores always be bothering the Rogue of the Seven Pinches? I'll run ye through with me falchion, ye be such lippy bastards! Call not this salty dog again, lest I be in a crabby mood, and make ye all walk me plank! Seriously, I've got this tourette's thing that compels me to respond to any pirate-speak in kind, so unless you're looking for a broadside of cannon fire, don't be rousing the buccaneer in me. By the way, does anyone have an in on being one of the pirates for Seattle's Sea-Fair? As far as I can tell, it's a bunch of really drunk old guys who "land" on the beach of Puget sound. I'm more in for the being-drunk-and-a-pirate... __________________ We should have a deal where you have to actively post in order to be a member, otherwise your account is deleted. kind of like, where you are not an active member until you have a certain amount of posts in a certain amount of time. __________________ Do you guys seriously want everyone responding with useless replies, such as I agree, thanks, etc. This is how many people boost their posts numbers. Personally I don't like to see that many replies unless they actually contain some pertinent information. __________________ Seriously though guys. . . who gives a flying cock's head how many post you have. It's all about being helpful to others. __________________ a flying cock's head??
