I took a couple months off from the forum and I'm stunned to see the number of people who joined while I was gone and now have sky-high post counts!! Now that I'm back, I've been pretty active, but my post count is growing pretty slowly. How the heck do you get 30 or 40 or 50 thousand posts in only a few months?!!

you don't. maybe about 10000 posts in a about 6 months but thats really the highest you can aim for

I guess I'll just have to be patient :)

You dont get that in 3 months...

I guess I was looking for your answer more than anyone else's, Rick

So you can insult me again?

depends on who you are!!

 

you can do it in a few ways

 

1) you're a troll and spam the forum, but we tend to dissuade them from posting

 

2) you're a fan girl/boy, and spend a lot of time in the picture threads

 

3) you get actively involved in the lounge games

 

4) you get involved in chatting to peeps, and don't notice you've spent the whole night posting

 

5) you post news/join the book thread/discuss Lost etc. (basically visit multiple areas of the board and post in them all frequently)

 

6) You go to a live show, take loads of pics & use up lots of posts in the live section sharing them

 

anyone got any more?

7)..spend too much time on the forum.

noooooo, we've enslaved him and he works very hard telling us when you've reported posts :D

He only comes out when we "have fun" on other forums.

Many, many years on the forum. :P

 

Edit: Oh wait you said in a few months...well bang goes my excuse

bad Jen, ambiguous post :laugh3:

 

that was a collective you and not a singular you :P

By not having a life. Worked for me.

good tips all! I thought maybe there was a magic way though. Like bribing mods or something :)

hahahaa. just post and don't worry about it.

although i AM almost at 8,000. :D I am SO making a thread to celebrate when that happens. I'm deciding if I want to go on a posting spree and just get the last ones done with haha.

8,000 since 2003 isn't bad. Apparently I need to just bide my time and enjoy being here.

well i guess it depends the 8000 since 2003 isn't bad..unless u compare it to marisa been here less than 6 months and has 4000+ posts
