The post limit for each member has been increased from 25 to 51 (I dunno if there's any limit for the mods/admins ) The myCENT script is still down and most members are still hesitant whether or not to post at their usual pace. Well I'm getting bored in my holidays and I recently cleared off the myCENT debt, so I want to try using the limit to the max, i.e. 51 posts daily, until I get bored of posting. Will this be a problem, especially to the mods? I won't make any useless posts or spam (unless you count this thread ) and there's a 95% chance that I won't go on for more than 2 days So is it fine if I attempt to go on a posting spree?

[anwiii]

the post limit has increased, but as i noticed yesterday, if you post too much within a certain amount of time, you wont be able to post again until you wait a certain amount of time more. ysterday, i had something like 20 posts. i tried to post again because i was helping a member in real time since he was online and i wasn't allowed to. so yet ANOTHER limitation....hope the member figured out his problem or he can blame "knowledge" sutra for the limitations of knowledge here

[The Simpleton]

I'm only human so I won't be making all 50 posts at the same time! This limitation you mention.....it sounds strange. Has anyone else reported it? In any case, it's a good thing in a way because you get an excuse to take a break.

Too bad we don't have the shoutbox yet or you could have given your solution to that member through the box. Well anyway we won't lose members in this way - most of the people are patient

[web_designer]

well,simpleton, you better not thinking of posting 51 posts a day PLEASE, because you will force me to compete with you because i am the top posters here, most of the days. and you by saying this you competing with me   i love competition, so don't make me please, i really have other things to do  . welcome back simpleton.

[The Simpleton]

Lol I joined exactly one year back in June 09 and at that time there were many days when I made 40 or more posts per day. So you could say I was one of the top posters then. Then another member called Nameless_ took away that position by making posts rapidly. Now you're in a similar position. So there's no Top Poster consistently. Someone's got to replace the old ruler June happens to be the time I'm most active so sorry I can't help it It's not any competition to see who makes the most posts - in the end its not about how many posts have been made but how good they are (and more importantly, how many myCENTs they fetch ) . I remember one of my threads where I asked how the members would feel if all their posts vanished suddenly, and surprisingly, a lot of members said they wouldn't care too much. It's the feeling of community and of course the myCENTs which keep us posting. So if you still think of it as a competition, then you're free to do so, but I just hope your posting quality doesn't dip down in an effort to win the race

She won't have trouble keeping up with you. She'll just reply to every post you make by "thanks for sharing". And there's nothing to dip down from when you're at the bottom
Sorry for spamming your thread, Simpleton, but you were practically asking for it... What's up with all this spam, eh? As for a constant top poster, anwiii here has been spamming for longer, so he's a consistently active spammer. And I'm the lurking spammer that waits for juicy threads to reply to... because obviously, my posts are so good that I don't need that many posts to earn a lot. And if I did run out of cents, I'll only have to start another debate with truefusion and woah, I'll have enough currency for the next 11-14 years.

Now that's a bit harsh. Maybe I haven't been looking at all the threads but I haven't seen her saying just 'thanks for sharing' and leaving it at that. It's good to have a few active posters like her so that the forum doesn't die completely.

Oh, you're welcome to spam every thread/post of mine For another 20 days or so you'll find a lot of my posts and then most probably I'll disappear for a while, which is why I'm on a spamathon for a few days. So far I haven't posted anything which doesn't make sense. The purpose of creating this thread was to confirm whether the mods/admins have any problem if I continue this activity for a few days. As long as I make meaningful posts I think I will be fine. At least that's what I'm hoping.

You could say that again SM is in danger of being dethroned soon as the top poster

Oh please do - the rest of us can squeeze a few cents out of it too

yea, this last post of yours was really a good one...hahaha! and why ya mentioning MY name? i always have more to say than "thanks for sharing". nobody understands what i write, but still!

simpleton, i have already dethroned the king if we start from two years ago with the new mycents credit system. but WD is the queen of posters now and does a good job....especially welcoming people in the introductions thread. i don't think anyone minds you posting a lot, simpleton. it's welcomed! wish you could pop in and out more often than ya do though but it's all good. we haven't forgoten about ya. we need more members though. it's the same people posting all the time in here. it really gets redundant.......we need new blood!

There's no arguing about that. You're the most consistent poster. There's just the matter of the 6000+ difference in the number of posts between you and SM. Once you break that barrier, your reign will be unquestioned

She's a good example of the new blood you mentioned. We sure could use a few more members like her.

I wish I could pop in more often too - it's a tough call with so many useless things happening in real life that I have to take care of. I don't think the same members posting always isn't such a bad thing as long as they keep bringing in fresh content and keep changing the words they use commonly. New members are always welcome but they shouldn't disrupt the flow of the community. I'll look for the nearest blood bank and inform you

hay there, i was kidding, yes i like to be in top posters of the day but only when there's something worth to post, so don't even dare to tell me that i will post useless posts here to win anything . also, the whole past 2 months or more i was kind of wandering here alone in the forum with a few members too, so literally i was competing with myself here  .

hay there you too, look who talking here the young spammer show up to give his opinion, you walk out of the chat room once in a month and come to tease me OK young man. i know i am killing you here because i will catch you in posts in no time   so don't panic and accept that. and "thank you for sharing" your ideas here bani  .

i use this phrase a lot because they are nice words to thank others for their hard work in posting something useful, and from now and on i will use them even more  .

Lol I never said you make useless posts. It was a general comment which wasn't directed at any particular member. It was just a casual statement through which I meant that everyone should take care that their posts make good sense all the time. Anyway, thanks for sharing (i.e, sharing your anger )



On another note, it looks like I've failed to keep up even 20 posts per day! It's good for the forum, I guess!

well, i wasn't that angry, but couldn't hold myself from replying you know  , in fact i like your topic, keep on posting such posts . anyway, welcome back simpleton, at least i will be sure that the few members who enter the forums daily increased by one now.

Thank you for sharing Web Designer.

Seriously though if you could I would LOVE it; especially if you started posting new topics, it would possibly improve this forum because people would then be able to actually reply to topics. When the mycent system returns hopefully things will resume as they used to but untill that point the forum is deader than a dead ghost.

You couldn't stop yourself from replying? Now that's a good sign for an addictive poster So I can be sure that almost every topic I make will get at least one reply - guaranteed

Hmm it's true that a lot of members are still shying away from posting because of the myCENT problem. Maybe we should put up a notice on the front page itself that all posts made now will indeed be calculated for myCENTs. Perhaps that would help a little in bringing up the activity. Anyway, till then I'll do my part in helping to increase the activity

[anwiii]

i really don't think it's necesary to put it on the front page. it's been a problem for a couple months now and it has been repeated over and over that opaque is crediting people right now so they don't lose their hosting, AND it has been repeated several times that every post right now will be credited after the new mycents system is ready. so i figure about 90% of the old members know what's going on already.

what i have a problem with is the new users. some are coming for the mycents. they don't have hosting yet. this can in fact lose potential valuable members and posters and i think a system should be set here for the new members in the meantime. i really do feel sorry for those guys who have come here for hosting services but can't get any becuase the whole forum right nownot only has bugs, but doesn't have the credit system implimented. the old users have been complaining, but it's the new users that are getting screwed the most.

and then i see people posting or explaining in the chat room to new users how the mycents system works still. it's like the old members are encouraging these new members to post KNOWING the mycents system is completely shut down right now. it's only a matter of time before new members think they are being screwed or cheated.

Haha.. another competition huh? it was bad enough having Web_designer topping the 'Top Posters' list. And now I'm thinking of blasting a few post myself and get myself on top, it might be hard but i think i can manage it though

Introductions is probably the EASIEST way to get some mycents and some posts, just repeating the same thing, thats why the 'Help' section is there for, the introduction section should ONLY be used for 'Saying hi' and not talking about myCents and other useless stuff, which people bloat in there for some more extra cents.

You tried and you failed, i knew it. It is just simply too boring, it would be more interesting if there were more interesting topics, which they aren't anymore since the update, i guess after the mycents come back, it might improve a bit.

actually, the introductions is the worst place to post if someone wants mycents. it doesn't give that much because an introduction and a welcoming message doesn't take long to write. you may get 10 mycents. big deal. also, you mention the help link but people posting in the introduction are just introducing themselves. it doesn't mean they need help or mycents explained. if they have questions, they will post them. you have the introduction category all wrong. it is NOT the HELP category, deadmad.

people who want to earn mycents should go in to the religion topics as those are the hottest debate topics here....and you can easily write 20+ lines in a snap

Its not the worst place! I know, it doesn't take long to write, that is why its EASY and thats why so many post there, its probably the second most active section, after announcements. You can write the most there without thinking too! you can get easily 20+ lines in 2 minutes with all the mycents and all the rules.

I know its not like they need help or mycents explained, thats exactly what i mean, (are you posting to support me? you are saying the same thing as me in the same way, but in a tricky question way). Then why do most people explain about mycents? just keep it simple and say hello and stuff, they don't need all the help, they want a 'hey all'.

No, i got it right, you don't have to think about writing a introduction, you can even replace a username with another and it will sound the SAME, and thats what most people do here, just repeat the same thing. 

But in the religion section, you have talk about personal topics and it requires a lot more thinking and posting than any other section, maybe it might be easy for people who are outward with their religion and talk about it alot, i have NEVER posted in the religion section here, its mostly because i don't have much 'faith' in god and i don't like talking about religion and stuff.

I tried, and I failed, but I'm not let down Mark my words, I'll reach that silly number 51 very soon

The introductions forum gets boring after a while since it's basically typing the same stuff over and over again. But it's also important to welcome the members so that they feel encouraged by the reception they get and they might become more active. So if you put aside myCENTs for a while, it's a very useful forum.

I stay far away from the religion forum because I'm simply not that smart to argue about such topics But if one knows to say the right things, then its a very rich forum!!!

yeah simpleton, this is a promise, if any time you post a topic or a post that interests me i promise i will reply and argue with you till then end  . because this is really what this forum is about, sharing ideas and give opinions. so don't worry, just post and wait for me  .

unlike you deadmad. i think that the introduction category used for welcoming the new members and make things easier for them, or else why do you think i keep on repeating the same things over and over again. when i joined the forums i really got lost for days didn't know what to do and where to post. also this forum is not like any other forums on the net, in fact, this  is the only forum i saw that has a true rules, others are not. so the new member comes here and assume that this forum is just like any other forum and finally they get a warning from the moderators in here. therefor i believe by guiding them in a few lines i will help them and show them what are these forum really is.

Oh good now all I have to do is find some ideas. Too bad that my brain has gone on a holiday. I used to have many ideas for new topics - now I'm left hunting for topics to reply to
