It seems in a lot of threads I have seen people get upset at other folks for posting because they think they are trying to increase their post count. Now I can understand if it is something meaningless posted or not on subject, but a lot of people get bitched at even when they are on subject except maybe their post is short. Anyways to get to the point who the hell cares? I mean as far as I can tell you don't recieve much for increasing your posts. The one thing being that custom message you can do at 1000 posts. But this isn't like Gamefaqs(horrible fan boy central boards) where increased posts or time on the board gives you more privelieges or power. Unless Cheapy has been handing out Pot Roasts to folks at 800 posts I have no clue as to why people get so wound up about other people's post counts. Anybody have any thoughts on this?
 
If Cheapy is handing out Pot Roasts, I'd better start posting meaningless posts like this one!!

On topic, I am not sure why people get angry about this. Maybe they think all of their posts were meaningful, and short posts are meaningless. I really don't know.

[quote name='punqsux'][quote name='KingHomer']anyone want to trade my count for yours?[/quote]

i will..you ship first[/quote]


I'll ship them out tomorrow. First, I have to figure out how to ship such a thing.
 
well hell, just to piss those people off, I make this post. those that have problems with it may proceed to rant, raising your post count, about me raising mine. have fun
 
my philosophy in life is too treat all people, race, creed, color, age and post amount the same, which is probably why many teachers hate me and little childern love me, so basically post amount doesnt mean a fucking thing too me
 
Has anyone seen 'Revenge of the Killer Tomatoes?'

It has a scene in which they run out of money to continue production. To make matters worse a union rep shows up and tells the director that a grip who answered a question on camera must now be paid because he now has a line in the movie. On top of this, the union guy notes that he himself spoke on camera, so he also has to be paid. The exasperated director turns to the rest of the crew and orders them all not to speak. To which they all answer, "OK!"

Somehow the the post-whoring reminds me of that.

+1!

The cartoon is a direct spin-off. John Astin, much like the later cartoon version, saw them as his army of world domination. The movie is very worth checking out. It has a great Blazing Saddles/Airplane sort of chaoticness. The movie is frequently, as noted above, interrupted by the difficulties of film production.

The guy who wrote the review on IMDB is apparently a humorless idiot.
