Whats this all about?

Have you not seen the new area?

 

[Amp David]

Just sussed it now.

 

[Silly Sausage]

I reckon it's a thinly veiled attempt by Dan to get people posting more.

edit...

Damn, fallen for it!

can call the new forum area 51.

 

[kingeri]

I'm sure I'll get there one day, but I won't start posting pointless rubbish just to boost my post count!

 

[Sparky Ninja]

It's nice being recognised as not one of the highest contributors on the forum - makes all my efforts at contributing to relevant conversations only and not --- for tat seem pointless!

Every push being made to this forum is just making it sink further.

I'll be parking my membership way before I hit 3k posts with the direction things are going.

I couldn't agree more !

So if I post 10 quality posts and 2990 jokes I get let in to this elitist forum what a load of crap someone needs to take stock..it's embarrassing

 

[Knobhead]

Anyone going to start a new thread in it? You’ll have to start another thread to tell people you’ve started a thread.
Until you lot mentioned it I’d no idea it was there. I have the forums I’m interested in my favourites, so fortunately I never see the opening spiel.

 

[Silly Sausage]

Dan, you do realise that anyone can read what gets posted on this new forum, without actually viewing the threads, and I quote...

"2750+ posts, what happens then?
You see the forum, you see the thread titles, but you can't see the thread content.
That's to encourage those with 2750 posts or more to get their freaking..."


:wink_smile:

 

[trbod]

All started at 1

 

[Bobster]

I don't see how it'll be different to the arms. Aside from people spamming to up their post count.

 

[Jimmy Boy]

There's a reason for the Arms a good one..a post count takes no account of post quality and the posters contribution to the forum..Barmy !!

[Adam W]

Why should everyone be 'allowed in'? New members with only a handful of posts can get into the Arms if they run a domestic installing company, but that is no indication that they know how to conduct them selves on a forum. Remember blatant spam will get removed and bring the post count back down. Even just welcoming 3000 new members is no mean feat.
Having over 3000 posts shows that someone has made a considerable contribution to the forum.

It does seem a little strange that you are more likely to get on in the forum if you post numerous posts acquainting to watching paint dry , but if you tend to stick to just factual or helpful posts then you are second rated ?

PS Alarm man , I see it more as voicing a well balanced concern and not as you put it in the mile high club , starting to already bitch !

Please don't take offence at me using one of your posts , it was just to prove a wee point !

 

[Dan]

You lot are stunners haha

I've not seen a 3k+ forum anywhere.

you're entitled to your view as we all are, but that's not mine, and it's not a fact you're pointing out there to be honest mate.

 

[JD6400]

Dan , putting up a message about the 70% discounts and then making a crack about how it will wind up the under 3000 posters , is not what i would expect from you .
I know i may sound like a old woman over this but as much as i appreciate the hard core old time supporters of this forum should be recognised , this just in my opinion goes to show why this way may not have been the best ?
I will be off now for a bit , as i may well end up with a ban if i carry on !:sad:

 

[Jimmy Boy]

3000 really why ???? Why not 10000, or 1999 ? Where is it written that 3000 posts denotes a significant contribution ? Your own post proves the point pick a number, any number it means nothing other than 'someone' has plucked a completely random number and this number is based on what ? Post quality..no..shear guess work !

[Adam W]

Why not 3000?

 

[rsp84]

me thinks ill be way off 3000 for a while, and Dan, you dont have a 3000 post count yourself?

 

[Jimmy Boy]

Why not 3000?

Answer my question I asked first ? You can't can you, because you know it's cobblers, so Dan or you answer this one, if I post 2,990 jokes and 10 outstanding post, that's makes me an outstanding contributor does it ? Or does it just mean I am a better comedian than all those real outstanding contributors that only have 2000, or 1000 posts that have really helped electricians ? The problem I have with this, and if you cant and others can't see it I'm amazed, post count is a reflection of quantity NOT quality, it's ill thought out, and silly, want an elitist forum for outstanding contributors..I don't have a problem with that at all, but base it on FACTS not some arbitrary figure picked out like lucky dip on the lotto.j

 

[Swicade]

so there's a 3000+ forum now?.....ah well yet another forum that'll have very little use/point apart from being another local (like the arms) where people can chat freely without too much moderation (for swearing and the like).

Am i bovvered?...nope.....end of the day wether it's 3000+ posts or 1 post i'll still more than appreciate any help/aid/advice anyone will freely offer up to help my life go easier whilst on the job.

Tbh the only reward i need is someone hitting the 'thanks' button IF i've actualy said something sensible/helpful for once....anything else is mere trinkets.

 

[alarm man]

well its had the desired effect,more threads and more posts...theres nothing to whinge about,its another area in a forum, theres others where you have to apply qualify for ,so what...

 

[1shortcircuit]

Oh my, it must be the weekend. I'm a million miles away from the 3000+ whatever you're talking about and I've no intention on doing anything any different just to get access to such an area (reading between the lines).

Here's something for you, every forum has a Mod Zone too. Who's going to start whinging and whining because they can't access to that? lol I bet there are FAR more interesting things posting in there?

Chill people and enjoy the weekend :thumbsup

 

[Richard Burns]

Good advice there I think (I've got to post more so I can get in!:uhoh2

You asked "Why not 10000, or 1999 ?", well why not 3000? Make it 10000 and very few would qualify at this time, many have made 1000 posts in a couple of months and then given up. As Des joked about we could make a section for those who joined before Dec 2008, to which I replied it was a good idea but there would only be about 4 of us in it.
If you posted 2990 jokes or even 3000 (or any acceptable off-topic post) that would still be a valuable input to the forum. You reckon you've made 1000 "quality posts" but if you want an honest answer, in my opinion your posts are often hostile and rude, hence you having been banned in the past.

I haven't posted 3000 "jokes", I have made 3000 helpful posts and I have shown that I can participate in a forum in an amiable fashion; if you make it to 3000 posts maybe you will have learned something about that by then.
