Post Count Means Something

[Agloco]

And if you don't think so, then you better in recognize.....

Have a little respect for those that help lay the foundation here.

You all know who you are.

Go Spurs.

Respect yourself by not posting useless crap on every other thread, then some might give that respect. It's earned and you haven't been earning your keep of late.

"Post count doesn't mean " ---- signed, Ducks.

To clarify

americans and original members are much more important than post count


Nobody respects foreign gray posters, no matter the post count

High post count means

... you have no life
... you post a lot of "+1"s
... you can't afford domain hosting for your own blog, so you use SpursTalk
... you don't have a girlfriend, so when you come home alone and drunk, you turn to SpursTalk
... you are looking for a Quattro razor
... you like to hear yourself talk/see yourself type
... you think Obama's the antichrist
... your favorite canned meat is SPAM
... you've been here a long time and your posts still suck
... or you are actually a good poster

This is one funny thread. I find it hilarious the "cycles" you see with posters. I have not even been here that long and I remember using the same lines that a lot of others are using now. Some of the classics:

"Isn't this what SpursTalk is for"

"Post count means nothing"

"Congrats on having a bigger post count, I guess that makes you cool "

"Being new has no bearing on my abilities as a poster"


Everyone comes here because they like the Spurs. You might discuss basketball with your friends and they might even consider you knowledgeable as a fan. You might be, but more with regards to the average fan banter and not true basketball insight.

It is very rare that people come on here and already have a deep knowledge of the league in general, the CBA, how contracts, trades and the league works. But if you are not ultra sensitive and are relatively smart, you can learn a lot by sticking around. Most new people are going to make asses of themselves because: a) They are new at posting on message boards b) They think they know everything & c) This place and the way people talk to you makes you sensitive and it takes getting used to.

It is inevitable that new posters come here thinking one way and acting a certain way. They say the same things, throw the same fits and inevitably end up going out the same way.

But is is hilarious, like the bad ass from his local high school that thinks he is going to own college, then gets to the big U and realizes he is not what he thought he was. But you learn while you're there and end up having the best time of your life.

Crassic.

See, now that is a great post. Read it.

Agree, post count has nothing to do with how big a fan you are. I was a huge fan 20 years before I ever made a single post on any forum. I used to go watch Ice, Swen Nater, George Karl, Allan Bristow, Coby Dietrick and James Silas play in the Hemisfair Arena as early as 1975, right after they moved from Dallas, and have been in love with them ever since. If I did not discover the Express News site in 1996, that would not mean that I was not a fan. The only reason I found the site was because I moved away from SA so had to go to Express News site to read about my team, since could not buy the paper any more. I used to subscribe to the paper but it had to be mailed it to me, so I used to get it 2 days late all the time, which sucked...I was so happy when they started their online service, because I could read about my team the day they played, not 2 days late. Kori started posting in 1999, and that was when she became a Spurs fan instead of just a Tim Duncan fan.

Damn Jim. Your path to Spurs fandom and journey out of San Antone sound strikingly similar to my own. Like you, I go back to that inaugural season. That started the love affair.

When I moved away in 1990, I also ordered the Express-News (pre-internet), just to keep tabs on the team. Always enjoyed reading the regular season sports special and it arrived about 2-3 days later. I remember those days.

Really enjoyed reading your post.

I could've sworn for a moment that I was reading something I wrote myself.

[ChumpDumper]

Sequ shucks the corn and you eat it up.

I used to as well. Once you've been here awhile you won't as much.

[ManuTastic]

I like the dude with the chick with the cute ass sig.

[Captain Oblivious]

If you take your reg. date and multiply it by your post count and divide by ten and add your plus ones and subtract your thumbs ups . . . carry the two? . . . Wait . . . I had this figured out a minute ago . . .

I was told there would be no math.

Jim is old btw. lmao

most re ed thread ever?

you must have 10k posts to post in this topic.

[Whisky Dog]

After skimming through this thread - most of you are weird, oddball people.

that's true...you ever seen Ducks?

[Dro210]

Haha... I think Kori summed it up decently.

It can mean a whole list of things, which means it actually means absolutely nothing.

Can't we all just get along? Stop Tony Parkering the Richard Jeffersons lol

[Frenzy]

People with lots of post are like senior citizens. You wonder why they still around. But it's because they have nothing else to do and no where else to go. So they sit on the porch and bark at the younger posters for not doing it like they did in the old days.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

POST COUNT MEAN ABSOLUTELY NOTHING OTHER THAN SHOWING YOU SPENT A LOT OF TIME HERE.

I've been a fan of this forum for many years and only post when it counts. I have a respectable, well distributed post count and that's enough for me.

I cannot respect you if you post things like this. They don't ring any bells.

I can respect you if you post decently and make sense.

I don't care whether you know a lot or very little about BB. Nothing in the forum rules says you need to be a BB genius to post here.

You are mistaken about the old school building the site. The old school is about 100 guys but no forum can have this traffic with the same 100 guys alone. This site is great because the owners let all kinds of ppl post and most of them are not old school and do not have 1,000+ posts. This forum was built by everyone, including you and the new school.

Respect and be respected.

Enjoy the rest of the day.

[bigzak25]

I think Sequ says 'blow me' so much on the forum because he'd get the ever living smacked out of him by Mrs. Sequ if he ever so much as mouthed the words in his house...

[Blackjack]

Missed ya, Sequ. The offseason needs more Sequ.

[senorglory]

@ sequ


You're a pig er, uncle er.

[Sense]

While I do believe this is a pretty funny thread...Sequ never said anything about how much more he is a Spurs fan because of his posts.


At least in the OP, I didn't want to read the rest.

And I do admit that in my earlier posts, I wasn't quite there yet... like many of the new guys are.

But 5 years ago we couldn't really pin point noobs, when everyone was one, kinda.
