You have to be lovable, some would say that i am the most lovable person in the world. Therefore I am loved on every forum in the world.

Logic lol.


I think I am lovable

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

Or be like this guy and post a ton of times per day.

Tons is a bit of an overstatement.

The first point at which your point falls apart is when you encounter the fact that I simply am not popular. There are a proverbial -blam!--ton of people who don't know who I am, and I'd like to keep it that way.

The second collapsing point of your jest comes when you consider how very little the average person who is a Septagon regular (or exclusive) posts on these forums. If someone goes as far as to shatter the mold of regularity and post an unthinkable 15 times a day, they're considered to have a high post-rate even though 15 posts a day, in reality, isn't even that large.

The last thing I'm going to bring up that isn't necessarily a fault of your post but rather a point I'd like to make. And that is that there are so many people who throw around the idea of a high post count as if it is always inexcusable and/or a cardinal sin of forums-ing. But, when I look at my posts I make and (not to toot my own horn or anything) I see posts that aren't spam, and usually are well-written and clearly not an attempt to just reply to everything to have a high post count (accenuated by the fact that I made a post about being upset over getting intrepid literally the moment I got it). So I don't see why this kind of thing has to automatically be a bad thing. I mean, yes. There are people who post a lot of really stupid -blam!- who I wish would accidentally spill something on their computers (thus rendering them obsolete) one day, but that doesn't mean that I (or anyone else who posts a "ton") are comparable to them.

I may be reading too much into your post; just wanted that off my chest.

Holy essay, Batman! 'Twas a joke, you used to post upwards of 15 times a day, and have at least one post in most threads on the front page.

Wow, That was a denial of epic proportions.

Creating thought provoking threads. Which might also get you banned... It's a fine line.

Haha, yeah. Like I said, I was just looking to blow off some steam, specifically in the direction of people who group me in the same category as hoobly and spertin keen.

Why would you want to be popular in the first place?

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

Who cares if you like posting on here, if anyone flames you for posting a lot, they are retarded.

People here need to stop raging if someone posts a lot, especially on the septagon. If people have a problem with it, maybe they should post more.

This is why we need an ignore feature. If I think someone posts too much, I'll just ignore them. Problem solved.

That doesn't make any sense at all. You want to block someone just because they are actively using a forum in a way it was designed to be used.

Whatever man, as long as people here stop complaining the community forum is dead and there are no new topics I don't care.

I don't get why people get annoyed by someone who is active on the forums.

I really don't understand it as long as it is not a spammer or a troll.

Generally if you see a single person responding to several statements with the same argument, then it gets annoying. Most people only want the excuse once, and if they care enough, they'll read it earlier in the thread.
