How the hell do some of you people post so damn much?

[LostInAnomie]

Geez! I've been here since early 2004 and I barely have over 11k posts. I thought I was a fairly prolific poster, but then I look around and I see people with 20k, 30k, 50k, 100k! Do you people do nothing else but post on here? WTF!

[murielm99]

1. I've been here since 2003,

and I have barely over 8,000.

:shrug:

[Capn Sunshine]

40. I've been here since 2001; < 11,000

But I have another website which always gets busier around elections, and have to post there all the time. Here? Not so much. My posting is directly related to work, I'm currently home office so I imagine posts are up lol.

[madmom]

43. Here since 2003, haven't yet made 6000.

[Rhiannon12866]

2. I was a mod and think that's what boosted my post count.

The mods are always discussing something. ;)

But I am also amazed by the post counts of some that I see... And most of them didn't even have to make it through The 700 Club! :evilgrin:

[tigereye]

16. me too, that's the only way i have so many...

[Rhiannon12866]

33. I remember, my friend...

6. +1

7. oh and the fact that sometimes i have a 13 hour shift to burn with nothing to do but post...

[asjr]

4. There must be a full moon out tonight because

I can't sleep and so I come to DU.

[Petrushka]

5. You have barely 11K posts since 2004??? To me, THAT is prolific!!! I mean: really!?

Since 2004, I finally managed---earlier tonight---to reach only 1K posts!
Time to celebrate by shuttin' 'er down for the night . . . especially since
it's 4:48 in the a.m. already!

:hi:

[leeroysphitz]

8. 2003 / 6000+ posts...

and for a while there I was coming to the lounge every single day.

I guess I just don't have that much to say.

[Chan790]

9. I have no life...

I just checked, apparently I passed 7000 yesterday. Go me!

[ipfilter]

10. I don't post much.

This is the first forum where I will go over 1000. It's only taken me two years to get this far.

[JVS]

11. A lot of k&r. or +1, and the occasional fast paced flame war where you can easily rack up 100+ posts

[Forkboy]

12. I can explain, but it's going to take me 37 posts.

[madinmaryland]

32. And then there are those posting incessisantly, "How about them Cowboys"

and arguing with someone about whether Barry Bonds took roids and whether Belicheck cheated by video taping the other team!

:hi:

[wysimdnwyg]

13. Oct 2003

Your point?

[Gormy Cuss]

14. We drink the breakfast of posting champions..

[bigwillq]

15. Jan. 2004, 48,859 posts!!

I post a lot at work during down time. :bounce: :)

[Haole Girl]

17. In a word...

addiction.

[Silver Swan]

18. Maybe I'll make it to 1000 posts

In a few more years.

I don't recall when I joined here, but it was years ago.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. My dear LostInAnomie!

Well, for one thing, I'm retired, and DU is very addicting!

I like to talk to people, and this place is built just for that!

:hi:

Oh, and being a mod definitely did make a huge difference! 6000 posts in 4 months, my god!

[bikebloke]

20. Since 2001

A whopping 3663 (3664 with this post). I'd better start working less.

[cbdo2007]

21. I divorced my wife, don't see my kids, and quit my job and I still haven't

even gotten to 900 posts dammit!!

Someone give me some ideas to write about, quick!?!?!

31. I calculated it out

In my 5 years here, I have posted about 25 posts a day. :)

[GreenPartyVoter]

34. A) I'm a stay at home Mom so I have access to the 'net 24/7 and B) I put up a lot of

one word replies. ;)

[bluedigger]

35. I don't get it either.

Well, except for mods - that's understandable. I've been here three years and this is post #1101. Less than one a day, but close. I'm just not that interested or interesting. Guess I'm done. See ya tomorrow! :rofl:

[latebloomer]

36. No clue

I have 6843 and I've been here for 8 years. And I spend a LOT of time here.

[EFerrari]

37. I was out of work for two yeas and would post to pass the time

while my applications were tossed into the circular file. lol

[Odin2005]

38. Lots of "K&R"s and short, snarky posts?

I've been here since late 2005 and have almost 18,000 posts.

[TK421]

39. It's because you suck at posting

just kidding....I've been here since May of 2005 and I think I'm at about 9000...I don't really pay all that much attention to it, I guess!

edited to add: I see it's at around 11,000 posts for me now....see what I mean? I'm at least 2,000 ahead of what I thought I posted! It's all in the mind.....

[pitohui]

41. i type 120 words a minute

i'm afraid to look and see how many posts i've written

on edit-- i just realized i don't even KNOW how to look up how many posts i've written which is prob. just as well! :-)

[bermudat]

42. I joined in 2002 and haven't hit 900 yet.

Are the high posters unemployed, or childless, single or what?

[Broken_Hero]

44. I'm a moderator,

the work involved is very demanding at times, during my first term in June of 06, I was doing 1k posts a week.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

:hi:

watch and learn. ;)

[PBS Poll-435]

46. There's an App for that

:hide:

[hibbing]

47. hmm

Hi,
812 posts since 2003 so don't ask me! But I had to post one here to contribute to the ultimate goal of having a thousand posts by 2012.

Peace
