ages ago, back when I used to post on the IGN boards in 2003/2004, I used to think post count meant everything, and I would constantly post whore with 1 liners/non-contributing posts/etc. just to get my post count up. then after some time I realized how meaningless post counts really are...
the sad thing is, most kids think post counts correlate to their intelligence level, when they couldn't be further from the truth. kids like parrish and Justin Vogelsberger will eventually learn, in time, how pointless and annoying it is to postwhore. the longer you're on a forum, the easier it will be to realize/understand what I'm trying to say here.
