Title: Aggregate postcounts
Post by: CP5670 on October 15, 2005, 11:36:43 pm
Approximately how many total posts have you made in all internet forums in your entire life and how/where are they distributed?

HLP forum: 6466 counting this one
VBB: 2631
old SSC forum: 2256
Anandtech forum: 370
Lugnet (technically not a forum, but it operates the same way): about 500
Other (lots of different sites, less than 20 per forum): about 150

So that makes about 12373. That's pretty insane now that I think about it, although they are spread out over seven years and are still nothing compared to what I have seen from other people on one forum alone.

Hmmm....i dont have an exact count on some of them, since they kinda disappeared, but I can figure out an approximation:

Hard Light Productions: 3490 (counting this one)
VBB (before it fell): ~20
Bravofleet Forums: 1022
Droidarena Mnet Forums: Approx 1000 I think, since the forum no longer exists. I was the lead storyline writer for the game for a while, so yeah, I had quite a few posts there
Grid.org forums (from when it was the United Devices Forums): around 2000
Brotherhood of the Box forums (Singapore): 75
Halovideos.net: 6
Gamewarden.com: 64
Nodewar forums: 328
Sectorgame.com Forums: 340
Spacebattles.com forums: 486
SSX Exiles Forums: 6
Several RPG/Sims I was part of: 600 (aggregate - some were boards, some were message lists)

Total: 9437.

Considering I've been on forums for around 6 years now, its a pitiful quantity. But I try my best to think that I make up for lack of quantity with quality ;)

I'm going to well over 25,000 posts... certainly over 20,000 with the number here and at the VBB combined.

Which just goes to show I didn't get out as much as I should have when I was younger :rolleyes:

Not exactly sure but counting the Old Warpstorm, VBB, SSC, SSX, This board... Lucas Arts board.... Neocron, and some others, I come out at about
17 000 or so.

The funny thing is that I have seen people with over 100k in three years on one board alone. :eek2: Makes you wonder if that's all they do every day.

I remember that we joined the VBB only a day or two apart, but by the time it had been shut down you had like four times as many as I did. :D

Mine are fairly well unknown. I can guarantee it's over 7000, but between thread pruning here (I had a massive number of posts in the Node Wars forum, and quite a few in GTD Wolf), my lack of remembering how many VBB posts I had (or VWBB for that matter), not to mention not remembering which forums I've belong to over the last five years, there's no way to be certain.

Absolutely! Although I do still post on a number of forums, I'm not anywhere near as religious about checking them as I used to be.

Hmm. Test.

EDIT: Ahh, ok, 11k here, a few dozen on VBB (if that), a few hundred on VWBB, and maybe another 150-200 on other boards scattered around the net. Say 12k.

Lessee:

My current WS postcount is 2891, but that doesn't count a few of the crashes, and me losing one or two poker tournaments, so lets call that score 3k

6125 posts on HLP. not including this one. Never lost anything in crahses here, or it has been added by the admins.

Sectorgame gives me 576.

A few hundred on NW, but I'm not going over there to check. Probably got reduced to nill the last time I pissed of an0n anyways.

Another 150 on a school message boards I admin.

Various other boards, including VWBB 300 or so.

WS:   3000
HLP:  6125
SG:      576
Pers:   150
Var:     300
        10151

Just over 10k, then. Too bloody much, I could say. This has been over the space of, I think 3 or 4 years. Not too sure actually.

I know my post counts from two forums:

Old SSC: 10000+ (someone, Baron I think, posted about it, I then took a week off from posting ;) )

VBB: 400 exactly.

I actually hide post counts on some forums, and looking now, I seem to have 2590 here.

About 6000 on Animenet (of which the first 2000 were made in my first 2 weeks of membership...)
like, 130 here (honestly wouldn't know how i got over 100 posts here... don't really remember posting anything..)

and, about 2000 on other forums.... so let's say about 8k, in 2.5 years time... not too much

Same here, man. :o

I had something like 12,000 over at the VBB, and a few others here and there - that would probably put me at about 30,000. Which, coincidentally, is about how many photos I've taken on the two digital cameras I've owned over the last three years. :)

You had that many over there? I remember Kalfireth (or R128Thunder in those days) used to post madly over there, but can only remember you doing that over here. :D

Oh, yeah. I calmed down a little in the last days as we began more work on HLP (or *** as we called it) - that lull in activity might be what you remember.

I dunno, Osiri. I guess you make the time if you really want it. Also I was fairly young (mid teens) when I got the majority of those posts I think, so I had no responsibilities to worry about. That's changed. :)

Same here! That's why I sometimes asked pretty obvious questions. The one I remember the best is when I needed an entire topic just to be able to post an image. (I did not understand the [IMG] tag and did not know I could not upload from my Hard Drive directly to the forum.) I had to learn the FTP thingy just to post a single image!

I've never seen that before! It's, ahem, quite relevant. Hmmmm. :nervous:

Occasionally I'll go to archive.org and wade through the old posts of the VBB... it's quite funny, sometimes...
