Congratulations to mm (8000 posts!)

would you guys stop frickin whining

its pathetic

hes a staff member and wanted some perks

are post counts THAT important to you?

Blah, I still think it\'s wrong. It has nothing to with Dajo himself; it\'s just the princip of it.

EDIT: I was also joking naturally, but since you wanted to be ghey about it, so would I.

Well... I was just joking when I brought it up mm...

That\'s the first time I\'ve checked the post counts in ages, I thought maybe he HAD been posting heaps :eek:

hmmm, modifying post counts are we?

<--- WANTS SOME GLOW

well to answer mm\'s question, have you noticed that people used to spam, and probably still do to increase their post count?  Well then obviously they are pretty important to some people...but then again, why spam when you can just get your post count changed to whatever the f*ck you want it to be.

The way I take Dajo\'s fiercely debated spam-fest probably differs from the average opinion. To me, Dajo showed how insignificant post-count truly is to him. The counter serves only one personal delight: the pleasure of achievement. Assuming that I post well-written replies and actually work hard before clicking the \'Submit\' button, the joy of finally reaching 5,000 is much bigger than it would be if I had just spammed my way through.

DJ, the thing is that Dajo didn\'t spam. In fact he didn\'t post much at all - he got handed the posts so he could get glowing username (at 5000+). Some people think that\'s a bit ... wrong.

Oh. Silly me

Anyways, in the light of my own recent announcements, I am neutral towards this matter. I want to achieve the needed posts myself - and \'thus I would not accept a "donation" even if the admins offered one. But as I am not Dajo, I can not form an opinion towards his action; taken that I don\'t know what he thinks about the importance of an achievement.

What\'s the point, really? I can only question Dajo. I can not answer for him. Neither can the members. We should drop the subject - it isn\'t as controversial as some make it to be.

It\'s f@#ked up. But sexual favours get u places these days. "rubs sore arse"

it dont really bother me, but why not just make his name glow instead of giving him 5000+ posts

:eek: ....umm...no why...umm should that...errr be


MORE   I NEED MOREEEE

when I look back on it, I guess it\'s really not that big of a deal.  True his post count is completly meaningless, and makes it look like he devotes far more time to the forums than he really does.  But it doesn\'t hurt me too badly, all it does is bump me down on the top posters list...so woopdie do, not that big of a deal.  But it does make the top posters achivement seem meaningless.  And to some of you, post numbers are meaningless, but to some it\'s a bit of a status symbol.  So I guess if the other upper eshelon posters can stand it, I\'ll be quiet until the outcry from others is heard.

I\'m not bothered, he\'s a mod so I figure he deserves the privilage.

im a mod, wheres my 5000 post bonus?

I actually think it\'s kind of messed up as well.  I mean it\'s just a glowing name.  Who the heck cares?  Do you have to have a glowing name to be able to edit nipples out of threads in the madden forum?

But me not really care cause I know that all mine are quality posts.
