I still like Brianna's response.

Anyway, to Kagan, how is making a thread that others don't like a waste of time. If you don't like, isn't easier to just not open it? How much time is really wasted?

As a percentage of my Cellar time, a lot. I whiz thru, cherry pick some topics, spend time on those topics, and skip a lot of threads. The longer the list of topics, the harder it is to pick and choose. It's better for me when NewPosts results don't span mulitple pages.

What is the percentage, and how much actual time though?

You fuckin' bean counters drive me nuts. Does it matter what the real percentage is? What matters is if I just stop going to the Celler because of my perception that it sucks when people spam the New Posts list. It just fucking sucks. Can you measure sucks? Perception is marketing reality.

I think more people, more posts, and more activity is a good thing! It means your community is a thriving metropolis. By comparison, if nobody posted here, there wouldn't be much human interaction, would there?

I agree, there appears to be a huge disparity in the perception of acceptable message board use. My opinion, and you don't have to agree with me, but it is a public message board, and my opinion is that if you have to scan all new posts in order to find any signs of human activity then your threshold of expectations is skewed towards the low side.

Are fewer posts always better? If nobody ever posted here would the site be perfect?

I reckon that's the BB version of "If a tree falls in the forest but nobody hears it, does it make a sound?"

Sometimes I get bored enough to feed post builders and attention whores.

Ever thought of the W/A thread? Just saying.

I'm fairly sure I resemble that remark.

You're 'Straylan. You come by it honestly.

Okay, maybe dishonestly, given your national history. But you have such a good time going about it.

Do you ride a kangaroo to work?
