the amount of posts you have should be a sign of how much time you put into this site, and how many ideas or subjects you come up with

now I know there are places like the lando system where anything goes, and i suppose it's fine to post gibberish there but there's one in the SWC forum that's out of hand (I think it's around 60 pages)

and I'm sure a post this big takes a lot of bandwith

I just think it's unfair that someone can be registered for less than a month and have over 300 posts, when I'm here for more than a year and still working on a thousand...

EDIT: I've been here for a year under 2 names

I know this sounds like a little boy saying "I'm talking my ball and going home! So there!"

but shouldn't there be a line?

It IS in control, very nicely so in fact!!! There is only few such threads, not a gazillion.

SWC has one, the Cantina has TWO (LAST and "yawn" which are growing at an even more rapid pace), I beleive Lando had one with its Late Night jibber-jabber thread.

These threads are fun for those who post on them, and the activity on thsoe threads is confined to them.

And I doubt ppl around here are mainly judged by the number of posts, but by what they contribute to NN - be it serious thought or silliness fro entertainment purposes

what's that supposed to mean?

(Not that I'm offering an opinion on the subject. Just stating an observation.)

IT'S SOCIETY'S FAULT!!!

After all we are brought up in a world that celebrates numbers

Money- New Years (the mellinium) - Birthdays

and if there are topics primarily meant to up your number of posts, then I ask you this-

am I really the only one concerned about my number of posts

or one of many

the only difference is I try to stay away from them

yes I see the ones in the cantina

and I think they are just as rediculous

but *yawn* evolved into that kind of post

I haven't even looked at the Last game

Check your PM, Boba!

You're darn right. "chris", our lord and master, has something in the area of triple digits (Mandard, exact figure, with milk and sugar). As compared to Silky, our tears and shame, who's post number will probably dwarf the national debt by Christmas.

All in all, you make good points round the clock, but Nightly doesn't want them at all. Nightly's not a democracy, but in some ways people's attitudes towards it's level of quality is quite similar. They range from the patriotic "This place is my pride and joy, I named my newborn daughter after it" to the anarchistic "yvette, go get the shotgun, dang president is irking me over the wall and someone's gonna give 'im a licking". But the largest similarity between us is that as in all democracies, when something in the area of "free speech" is threatened, the people raise an unholy cry about it. The only real difference here is that in a country, the response is covert (the government shuts them down out of the public eye) while here it's dealt with overtly (DP sighs, and informs those protesting that we're a communist land that oppresses the people through our evil tactics, and so you can take your cheap Amerikan vodka elsewhere, thanks).

Nightly doesn't want to change, at least not in ways anyone is likely to suggest. The only thing that keeps us from becoming a boringly disgusting pile of unimaginative dirt is the fact that we have two basically good shmoes running the system, day in day out. They don't think outside the box, they don't take chances, and they care vitally about not pissing off the lowest denominator (or so their actions speak). Good guys. *sigh*

Bah. The usual answer that many people are giving you is something along the lines of "post numbers are trivial inanities, don't worry about it, quality over quantity". And they're right, small picture-wise. The unfortunate thing is, there's a two-faced she-beast who runs around accumalating male concubines like they're french fries, who's sole social status is retained by her outwardly benevolent attitude and her god-awful size, in the only ways that matter to the lowlifes down there. Post numbers.

. Yeah, I'd make a piss-poor bad impartial witness. Blech.

Yeah, there should be a line. yawn, as far as I can see, is okay all around. It presents a front that even the most cynical person would admit is somewhat amusing. Jibber jabber, besides for it's (and I say this with my tongue placed firmly in cheek, folks) historical value, also contains actual creative content, which implies work done by some of it's contributors. Skim it and you'll find diluted conversations which sounded funny at 4.am, truly interesting segues of back-and-forths, and an extremely amusing attempt at a Late Night show format. Plus, Randall00 will fight tooth and nail for it's continued existence. Don't mess with him, he's thorough.

And now, we'll come to the Last "game", if it can be truly be called such. It involves no effort on the parts of it's players, has the interest value composed of the repetition of one-word over and over, and it's only saving value is that some people, sick and otherwise, find it a riotfest/impartial timewaster. I dislike it because I dislike it's maker, and if it were up to me, the stupid spin-off of "Last Of The Last" would be gone, or at least severely limited. For reasons based more in emotion than reason, ah well, I'm not perfect and at least unlike others, I don't present an outward appearance of being such.

This post is just SUCH an excuse to rail on her, innit? I should never come online when drunk.

I'm gettin' HOOOOLIERRRRRR!!!

When confronted by a post of any kind, use your logic circuits to construct a tenuous path of connection to any number of your database material. Wash, and repeat.

If this does not give results, choose from one of the following procedures.

1. Refer to eighties science fiction/comedy film, without giving the reader of your post a single clue that this is a joke if he is unfamiliar with the material. Always.

2. Repeat the origin story and complete background to your name, while faintly protesting that you have already done this several times, you cheeky monkee you.

3. Scribble sound effects throughout your post. *BLEEP*

4. Deny everything. Comedically.

I only have recollections of doing this four times, and two of them were Christine's fault. Although the fact that I have the entire explanantion saved to my hard drive probably doesn't help my case any (tho' that was also Christine's idea...).

But seriously, that's damn scary. I have another non-Nightly forum [1] where I prefer to allocate the majority of my quote-unquote "serious" discussion resources. Nightly, in my mind, is recess, pure and simple.

Who the hell cares? Just do your own thing and let other people do theirs in peace. But unfortunatley a growing number of people on Nightly don't understand that concept.
