Should posts in the parking lot count towards total post counts?

When you guys go to other message boards, do you pay attention to the post counts?

Sometimes... If they have a really low number, I might give them the benefit of the doubt that they're just getting their feet wet and aren't experienced in the message board culture. Sometimes I wish we'd be more constructive in our criticisms when addressing the noobs.

On the other hand, sometimes I think the more posts you have just means you're more jaded.

In all honestly, I look at the age of a poster first. I know, I know... that's stupid, but I just can't help it.

Thats a simple one for me SS, prior to the path I had never been to one of these boards.

Since joining and looking at Redskin.com frequently. I joined that and might have 5 posts if that. And I no more paid any attention to that then the man on the moon.......but I've only looked and posted a handful of times on extreme, just don't have the time in the day to sit in front of the computer for hours on end.

So at the end of the day the post count just doesn't mean much of anything to myself. Whats in the post is a different story.

This is the only message board I "do".

Kind of. This is the only message board that I have more then 500 post. In fact, this is probably the only message board where I have over 250 post. It's not as big a deal though for me anymore though. Especially since the next bench mark for me is post 5,000 and it took me around 2 years to get to a 1,000 in the first place.

Of course at this point I'm almost at 2,000 so mabe 5,000 will come sooner rather then later, but I'm at a point where enough people know me around here that my post count doesn't really matter anymore.

Reason I ask is to get a sense of "outsiders" may view our site.
