theres no way in hell im going to get to 500 by the end of this century to get a pic for my name
as you can i see i got like 30 something posts
tell you what, you add a pic to my name and ill write you an I.O.U :)
"I owe the moderators 470 posts hehe :P"
how do you guys get so many posts?
-
well one way is to just treat everyone as your friend and before you know they will be
once you have established some friends it is easier to make conversation and respond to posts and all - at least i think it helps - or if you have to just make a goal for your self - like everytime you get on yu will post 10-15 legitatmate posts - before you know it you post count will go up fast
-
Ah thats pretty cool
who wants to be my friend? I got a basement full of games and stuff to do :) Ie pool, gitz table, air hockey table and tons of consoles and games :)
I just find it hard to post something worthwhile that someone would want to read
Its almost been a month if not ( not sure when in March i signed up) and i got like 33 posts
Im averaging like a post a day give or take
At this rate it would take me 500 days hehe

Boredom.Lonelyness. All those good things :D

How I got started....
Well I was posting before the PS2 launch, so what I did was cruise around gaming sites (even Japanese) and dig up info or new screenshots of PS2 games and post them:)
Don\'t worry about not reading Japanese, I\'ve grabbed many a screen from Japanese sites.

don\'t worry if you think no body will care - just say it i am sure people want to know what you opinion on something is - you\'ll never get a lot of posts if you don\'t post
but don\'t worry - youll get your 500 - just stick with it and it will take no time at all
-
I know where you are coming from Joe, but dont worry. I\'ve only been registered a week, so in a year, i should have a pic online!!

All of the people who have over 1000 posts are losers( besides Jumpman). They spend all of their time here and never get outside. When ever this place gets shut down for a brief period of times, they lose their stupid minds. They all come back and say **** like " when the forums were down I tried to kill myself again" and " me and mother got to spend more time together while this place was down". Turst me, they\'re pathetic. You don\'t want to be a no one like them. THEY HAVE NO LIFES. They get hooked on this forum like drugs, its an addiction for them! They need to be here or they go nuts.
My advice to you is to get as far away from these forums as you can. Or else you\'ll end up stupid and slow just like the rest of the people who constantly post here...
And to answer your question, they either do two of the following things to get a high post count:
-They spam.
-They never leave here.

LOL yup, look at how long I\'ve been here and I have like 480 posts it\'s kinda sad I should be at like 83438461789679060789346576 by now.

Haha, I won\'t touch what was just said, albeit there can be some truth to that. I\'ve been here since the PS2 launched & was all eager to get my 500 posts. It\'s about half a year later and I have a little over 300.
No big deal, I\'d rather be out hanging with friends or just enjoying the open outdoors than be staring at a computer screen. Wanting to get 500 posts is fine friend, just don\'t spam.
And see if you know where this excerpt is from, "Get out of your apartment. Meet a member of the opposite sex. Stop the excessive shopping and masturbation..." There\'s more to life than tvs and monitors, take advantage. Definitely have phun here but don\'t get too caught up in the forums for a small pic under your nick. :)
-
hmm something else troubling you rob
-
Once you reach 100 posts things will start picking up for you and you will post alot more(or at least that was the case for me). Before you know it 500 posts will only be a small step away.
BTW Metal Gear Rob is Jumpman.

You\'ll find that if you can visit 2-3 times a day, it\'s a lot easier. That way you can legitimately post to 3-4 posts each visit, and avoid spamming or posting just for the heck of it. It\'s better to come here many times a day for just a few min, and check out the current topics. People who come once a day/once every two days tend to (a) repeat posts in already long threads, and (b) don\'t take the time to search all the new threads for ones where they could add to the topic. *I saaaaid tend so don\'t take it personal.
Search around on the console sites on the net, if you come across some interesting material, like new vids/pics/news, and it isn\'t here already, you can start a conversation and link to it. That\'s a great way to get legit posts.

I\'m not Jumpman.

I\'m not Metal Gear Rob.

Well - how can you say a person doesn\'t have life when you don\'t know a sh*t about the person? :)
Well - I just happen to visit this forum every time I open up the internet, and I visit this place about 2 times per day, and post to topics I find interesting. I do have a life - I\'m alive can\'t you see?
I think I move a lot more than you anyway, as I\'m a boxer - and I spend many more hours per week doing sports than sitting in front of computer - but usually when the day has been rough you just sit in front of computer and relax...
Oh and Jerky_Joe - don\'t worry \'bout the pic. You\'ll get it, someday, worry not.

I must admit that I\'ve got nothing to say on this thread. I just want to get to 50 posts. That seems like a major milestone for me!
Note from Samwise: Please don\'t do that in the future VR, it\'s called spam and we\'d like to avoid that. Thanks. :)
