But I will say this, it would stand to reason that the one with the higher post count in the shorter amount of time would be a bit more recognizable than someone with less post in a longer time, but that'd dimply due to maintaining a heavier presence.(04-23-2015, 10:13 AM)Black Hat Wrote:(04-23-2015, 10:05 AM)Casden Reeves Wrote:Â I have 205, been a member since.....good god. Is that accurate?? -_- And my rep is right around Casden's.....I feel like that argument is invalid. If you break it down mathematically, 205 divided by 18 months is roughly 11 1/2 posts per month. Roughly 3 posts per week as an average. You have 420 since February. That's 140 a month at an average rate of 35 posts per week or 5 posts a day ( DID MATH WRONG ). So you must be more popular than me, even though I've been a member longer?(04-23-2015, 10:02 AM)Kage Wrote: Was it because I post a lot?*looks at your post count*
Yes, yes it was
I actually do believe popularity is being based on post count, and who many people reply to your posts/topics.
But I digress, I was simply echoing what the general rule of thumb of new forums goers seem to be implying. I did not know I was invoking a popularity contest
Perhaps it would be better if one did not echo the sentiments of others, but let them speak for themselves. After all, the point is that they wish to be heard and recognized.
What a colossal waste of time and energy.
