Should 5,000-plus be taken seriously?

[GSVR]

Should people with over 5000 posts on here be totally respected or just viewed as internet timewasters with too much time on their hands?

Or when does posting on KB become an obsession.

Maybe theres a secret race on for the first person to reach 10000 posts! If not I'll start one by offering free bling to the winner.

Anyone wanna join my Bling Club?

[Taz]

Depends on how many of their posts are pure crap. Like Sniper etc. Half his post only say one word "repost"

[crashe]

The race to 10,000 posts has been and gone.......
some even made it to 12,000 posts.....

But then our master, SpankMe, changed things and everyone who posted in Rant and Rave got all their posts knocked back.......

Some took a huge drop in post counts.
Some lost about 7,000 posts in their haul.
While some only lost a few.......


So is the race back on again........ nah I don't think so.

[MSTRS]

Lots of us had over 10,000 posts. Until Spank removed the counts from more of the non-MC forums.:crybaby:

[onearmedbandit]

The real question is, should anyone care?

[Big Dave]

nice troll, for a noob.

[Steam]

Some of the big posters don't even have full licenses, so their opinions shouldn't be take too seriously regarding riding.


They just don't have social lives.

[GSVR]

nice troll, for a noob.

I'm no noob I'm in the top 200 out of 9370 KB members for posting.

[JimO]

i agree im surprised at the posters who have ingrained attitudes and are under 20

[yungatart]

Should 5000 plus be taken seriously?
This is KB after all. Nothing should be taken seriously.


It is life, Jim, but not as we know it......

[Big Dave]

I'm no noob I'm in the top 200 out of 9370 KB members for posting.


Big ego for a noob too.

don't listen to this guy, he only has a 440 post count

[Taz]

I am not worthy I am not worthy...........:clap:

You're OK Anthrax - now get me a beer noob.

[Taz]

You're OK Anthrax - now get me a beer noob.

Thought you were into pink chardon?

Can you still buy that and Russel Kuhtze beer? I'm getting old......

[Pex Adams]

Beer?! Did someone mention free beer:jerry::jerry::jerry:

[Riff Raff]

Anyone noticed that since RnR doesn't count towards your post count that there are some on here (like Skidmark) who are posting in threads just for the sake of posting? Do they get my respect? Hell no. Then there are others who only post if they have something meaningful to say, and who's posts are worthy of being read.

[Taz]

Why don't you all come to sunny Waiuku for a beer? Nice ride for some of you. Pex you better get on the road soon dude or you'll be late.

I hadn't even noticed that posts in Rant or Rave didn't add to your post count or that totals had been reduced until now. I used to have over 4000 so mine has gone down a lot. Some people don't listen to those who have only posted a few times, regardless of their actual motorcycling experience so it may affect that side of the forum. The thing is, if this forum was JUST about motorcycling, it wouldn't get the patronage it does. We are all more than just motorcyclists so we do like to talk about other things as well.

I must have joined back in 2002 so it's not like my post count has been arrived at in a few months. Maybe one thing that would be a good idea is to only count your first post in a thread - sometimes a thread can go on for pages and pages and you'll get some people who post several times in that thread. Count the first post they make then forget about the rest, because they are only posting about one thing.

[MSTRS]

....Count the first post they make then forget about the rest, because they are only posting about one thing.

NO!!!!! What about all the OT posts within a thread? Won't someone think of the children??

[Big Dave]

I gotta work around the house today - KB is avoidance.

[GSVR]

Big ego for a noob too.

If you'd said that a couple of hundredposts ago I may have been offended. But just looking back over the quality of your posting I now have serious doubts.

Nice troll for a trollspotter:zzzz:

[Fatjim]

They just don't have social lives.

Heck, some don't even have car licenses.

[Hitcher]

Yawn! Are there people with more than 5,000 posts? Amazing.

[GSVR]

I think my post count just went down but I can't be sure. Still got to keep the bling.

[Big Dave]

I plan to stop at 9,999 if 10k still gets a gay pride icon.

[Kendog]

10,000 posts = a really really good rider.

At least it does in gixxer.com

the joys of having him on ignore... now the threads i read are like 65% on topic instead of 45%, lol!!

That was a brilliant move. Surprised I didn't think of it myself actually. Oh well, I'll just have to come up with something else to try and lower the bullshit quotient.

Only when sucked through a mash of fresh strawberries. like lollies that rip yer tits off.

Oi you!! Does your mother know what you get up to?
And her with her lawns that need doing, weed-filled gardens and house desperately in need of painting...away you go, there's a good lad.

[gijoe1313]

Burn them! Burn them all!

Well making someone a mod who has posted more than half their posts in OT would be an 'interesting' method ;)

[Joni]

I have a full bike licence but no car licence at all. I should probably almost never be taken seriously.

[Mental Trousers]

There's a very good reason for that .... as you and everyone else will find out very soon. ;)

Remove rep for Rant and Rave, including historical rep.

Why reward people for posting crap (I mean non-bike related stuff)

[Joni]

Remove rep for PD, including historical rep.

Why reward people for posting crap (I mean non-bike related stuff)I agree, but suggested the entire R&R... so only bike related stuff had rep attached to it.

[Kendog]

I agree, but suggested the entire R&R... so only bike related stuff had rep attached to it.

Doh, you are too fast.

I meant rant and rave, but you posted while I was still editing.

[Joni]

Doh, you are too fast.Many a person has challenged my lightening fingers and lost! :lol:

Pity my typing gets worse the faster I go :Oops:

But yeah... fully agree.... many peoples rep with drop by more than half! Bloody good I say.... the rep and post count challenge will soon end. :clap:

[GSVR]

I think my post count just went down but I can't be sure. Still got to keep the bling.


Thanks to the person that blinged me for this your a top bloke. Return Bling on the way!

[merv]

All my posts are totally sensible of course and I'm working my way back to 5,000 again after being robbed of just a few hundred on my count.

[Coyote]

That was a brilliant move. Surprised I didn't think of it myself actually. Oh well, I'll just have to come up with something else to try and lower the bullshit quotient.
Posts given green rep should only be counted :shifty:


Hoohoohoooo I'm evil

i agree im surprised at the posters who have ingrained attitudes and are under 20
Wanna take this outside huh punk?

[AllanB]

I don't care how many posts I make. Its the quality of my drivel I try to improve on :rolleyes:

And spelling :2thumbsup

[GSVR]

Seems these higher posters are like body builders. They go to the gym every day to work on their figures (posters gym is KB)

Then they get upset when they lose a few hundred posts like someones robbed them of their steriods or something.

Can see this getting put into PD soon

[Big Dave]

As I type this My post count is 5218.
That's exactly where I put it on my countdown of important things.

[Maha]

Lots of us had over 10,000 posts.


'Lots of us' !!......:killingme Come on John, dont you mean 'Lots of others'??...

[ManDownUnder]

The real question is, should anyone care?

...or should anyone with less than 2,000 posts have an opinion??? (p/t)... I'm actually with OAB on this one. What gets said is a lot more important than how often it's said.

[NC]

Who cares?

:Pokey:

[Ixion]

Come now, that is no way for an accountant to speak of numbers. Accountants live and breath by numbers. Just imagine the posts are beans. There, you think they are important now, do you not .

I'm an accountant?

I think if there are cheques in the book there is money in the account.

[RC1]

Like Sniper etc. Half his post only say one word "repost"

and others whos every second post is , SHOOT THEM or KILL THEM :shutup:

[BAD DAD]

nice troll, for a noob.

I got a brand new pair off roller skates..
you've got a brand noobe..

[Ixion]

Yes, your secret is out. You admitted that a Harley rider waved to you. They always recognise another of their number (number, geddit ?) . Dunno how, maybe some sort of aura of bean that hangs around a fellow bean counter. But, don't worry, you're among friends.

[bugjuice]

Should people with over 5000 posts on here be totally respected or just viewed as internet timewasters with too much time on their hands?

Or when does posting on KB become an obsession.
isn't it more a case of if you value their views? One might spout utter shit (a name comes to mind..) where as others only emerge from the dark if they have a valid pointed view. Which is going to be the higher? Really boils down to you. Do you accept their view/advice/knowledge? If not, move on, surely. If so, then they have your respect.


Maybe theres a secret race on for the first person to reach 10000 posts! If not I'll start one by offering free bling to the winner.
been and gone many times, like mentioned, until Spank changed things. Sniper was the first to hit it, and got close to (I thought) 14k or so..
not many (those who have been here long enough) care for bling. So bling away. Besides, since when as bling been paid for?


Anyone wanna join my Bling Club?
no.

[Big Dave]

Cool. I'm the accountant.

Send me the cheque book and the authority immediately.

Hey everyone! The booze and hookers are on Ixion

Accountants are dull. Next on BD mythbusters.

[Brett]

Hell no, I am too busy gaining a REAL LIFE and nt posting 20 times a day to achieve any huge post count. Many of the huge posters are 19 & 20 year olds who have nothing better to do and also have very little real life knowledge. Respect is something earnt, not just given due to ones post count.

[GSVR]

Cool. I'm the accountant.

Send me the cheque book and the authority immediately.

Congradulations on being the first one to get to 10 posts on this thread.

I must say I'm truely honoured to have so many of KBs finest posting here on a thread created by immaculate conception.

What honorarium do you get when you are boss of the accountants?

[GaZBur]

OMG - at my current rate of posting I will hit 5000 posts in Sept 2024. So you can take me seriously then. Untill then I guess I am a n00bie! Actually that will be two months before I hit retirement age and will have time to follow all these useless non bike related threads.

Certainly. Whenever money is required, I always ask the accountants (that's you ) to provide it. The simplest way would be if you were to issue me an (unlimited) credit card. Just take care of the bills as they arrive. That's what accountants do, pay the bills. They always have money, y' just have to twist their arms a bit.
