I think I have been here for about two years, my post count would still be under a thousand, had I not become a greeter and thought it would be a good idea to greet people in the introduction thread.

I don't really care about the post count, if someone else does, that is thier perogative, I have no issues with that.

I am on another forum where post count does matter, (if you are truly a sarcastic, mean opinionated moron, that might be overlooked), consider yourself ostracized until you at least have over a 1000 posts, and even then you better be prepared to become mean, opinionated and sarcastic.

I can count on one hand the number of people I personally know here, so it is obvious I don't go to F&G much. And I must note that there is nothing wrong with having a large post count in F&G. A person could make numourous posts here and there, but I like to at least look for substance and the general tone of the post. Some of the people who do post quite a bit in the F&G thread, have made some substantial posts elsewhere.

I have also run across a couple of posters here, who may have had very few posts, but they infuse a certain attitude within thier writing that makes me admire them quite a bit.

I just realized that my post is a bit biased.
I know that I was very afraid of posting for fear of being judged and criticized. It is discouraging to some newcomers to come out and post, when they are worried about being judged based on the substance of thier writing.
Everyone has something to say.

As for rewarding post counts, last I looked it said "Forum God" (my interpretation means "god that's a lot of posts!!!!), not "Forum Contributor", we do have awards for that as well.
