Ok Brad, very funny
 

Ok you had your fun now give them back :mrgreen:

Steve

Sorry, can't chat with people having less than 7000 posts....new rule. You're close though...:)

hmm.. ok,np you going to stop by for a beer some time?

Steve

yup. Do you like my new post padder policy?? I thought it was genius!!

I'll call tonight....

um, you have to remove about 3K from your total if you are to comply with your policy :mrgreen:

Steve

No, everything I remove, I'm gonna add to mine. Or someone else's, could be a surprise :)

I need a few more.

:lol: I thought it all went by join date not posts.:lol:

Truthfully, I don't get the whole post count thing..I guess it means some of us talk too much?? I dunno :)

So is there a prize for a certain amount of posts, or is it just for bragging rights?

No prize, I guess what it's supposed to mean is that since I have 9000 posts, I'm really smart about reefs. Really, what it means, is that I've been arguing with stircrazy since 2001 about nothing! lol

I look at posts when asking questions and assume that once the person is past 500 that they have written a bunch on here and should be giving decent advice. Above all though, I like to look at join date or in the signature as to how long they have been keeping SW tanks and what type.

:lol::lol::lol:

Well, in all fairness, some of the best advice I've seen on here came from people with less than 50 posts. And lots of the old timers with thousands tend not to reply anymore, because they've answered that question 10 times already over the years.
Ideally, get 20 answers, and take the average. Take me, I've been doing SPS and giving advice here for 8 years, I have almost 9000 posts and I couldn't tell you squat about running a softie tank. You really need to analyze everything you get here, then form your best guess answer yourself.

Post to make my post count higher, I already feel more knowledgeable :biggrin:

You haven't been paying attention to the new post pad policy :) See Steve's whining, er, mean, comments above -lol

Ok, I feel terrible about Steve's lost posts, so I've re-added the 1000 posts he feels he lost. Steve, thanks for the apology, and I'll eat the 3% paypal charge. :)

sheesh, that took a lot of beer to get them back, but wan't it 2000? :wink:

Steve

I dissagree with the 500 post policy. There are a people on here that have way more posts then that on here and still don't make any sense. Not to mention the people who have reached that number by asking questions or rating pictures to get that post number padded.

Chris

Ah, yes, the rate the picture trick. Where is he anyway, he hasn't posted in a while :)

Rate the picture 101.

Chris

we can rate pics here?

No

Dammit, now I'll never beat Steve. Brad change it back quick!!

oh you wait missy, it took brad a year of me not posting to get ahead.. I am going to be back with a vengance now LOL

I don't think I realized how high some peoples post counts really are. Hummmm.....where are the pictures I can rate? :mrgreen:

hey I'll have you know that at least 75% of my posts are quality posts not just padding and rating pictures and junk. OK maybe 60% then :razz:

I do recall a lot of "hey anyone want to chat tonight?" threads posted by myself in the beginning though, thats how I sucked up my great knowledge :wink:

ahh from our days of online chat and out IRC exparament

Steve

yep and its taken this many years to translate what the hell you are saying. Use a spellchecker man!

Brad falls out of chair! lol

Hey, what ever happened to our chat feature?

it died a horrible death. actually I don't think it was added on with vbulletin. that was back in the days of phpBB

Isn't this thread really just post padding?

:pound:

Ultimately yes, however we are having an excellent dialogue :biggrin:

ok Bob :mrgreen:

god no, not when rogue mods are involved! And I was just gonna make you a honorary mod......sigh

Ooh and oldie but goodie. Ok I take that back, it was never good. Ugh.

K, we need to get the story straight. I just said no....

righto, whatever you say Rogue. Wow you could be a powerranger or whatever that movie was a few years ago. X-men. Except I think Rogue was a chick. YOu'd make a crappy chick, except you know about Sephora.
