1000 posts in a month? Over ambitious much?

technically its not 1000, more like 642. But I've been wanting to break 1000 posts for a while. Considering how long I've been here, its a big embarassing. I know, I'm not the most active member, but I want to change that. I do like this site and the members (that I know), so I'd like to be more active. My problem is, I usually just browse the forums and don't post anything.

Maybe this should be in goof off instead of General? Oh well, wish me luck! And if I can't get it in a month, I'm going for it in two months!!

Wishing you luck but also think this goal is a bit unnattainable...
but then again I have MORE posts in the Goof Off then I do in the rest of the site so....
what do I know? O_o *shrugs*
GOOD LUCK!!!

You're right, I probably won't be able to make it, but if I'm not trying, then theres no way my post count will increase in any significant amount of time! So, try I must, and fail I will, but at least I tried! :)

And thanks!

Just make sure that your posts have enough substance. :P

Already have that planned... The posts may be short, but they will stay on topic if I'm merely posting to agree with someone else's comment!! Don't want to annoy anyone here, after all. ;)

Come to Jam Session and make a thread saying something inflammatory.

You will both build your post count quickly and also be defending yourself for the next two months.

Yes, like this:

"I think Saves the Day is the worst band ever."

Try it sometime!

Rest assured, RD, I'd never post anything like that! I plan to be responsible and I'm not setting out to make anyone mad or annoy them. I just want to up my post count as much as I can within this next month (or two).

And yes, I am sorely aware that goof off doesn't count, otherwise I'd already have at least 1000 posts. XD

"Overambitious"? Not really. Is a post count on an Internet forum terribly ambitious?

1000 posts isn't hard, but I'm still working on breaking 10 good posts. That's the hard one.

:P

XD I suppose not, but considering how many posts I have to make in such a short time and how little/infrequently I've posted in the past... maybe.

Well, a month is roughly thirty days, right? So 1000/30 =33.3 posts per day.

You make it sound so easy... I don't know how many posts I've made tonight, but I dunno if I could do 33 a day. XD Anyway, since its kinda in the middle of the month, I have until March 10th (otherwise it wouldn't be a whole month). So well see what happens.

Post 370

Well, you want to BREAK 1000, not make it. Therefore, 1000 - 370 = 630. 630/30 = 21 posts per day.

That is FAR from inflammatory. F--.

I know the feeling...what makes it worse is that I technically should have over 1000 posts if Goof Off and Of Nations counted towards post count...meh, I'll get it eventually...

21 sounds do-able, right? I mean, I've posted about 20 posts tonight, so @_@ ugh...

I will achieve success!!! At least I'm trying? XD

Yay, you're on your way to bump up your post count \o.o/ I wasn't really able to bump up my post count until I got my own computer ^^ After that, it was pretty easy :) I even forgot to pay attention to when I hit 1000, 2000, and 3000 XDDD; I was like,"Ooh, I hit 3,000.. but where :o?" :lol:

I'm trying to do something similar, it's way smaller than your goal.
I'm just trying to up my post count to 100.

What you'll have to do sometimes to make the post count is start new threads. I mean the forums have only so many threads. Coming up with a topic for a thread could be more difficult than making a realivent post.

But It can be done. I wish you success in your endeavour. :thumb:

And pardon the pun. "Keep me posted."

Heh, good luck with that.

My posts per have has actually dropped. Also, I am not posting just for the sake of getting to 5000 posts.

I want to get over 9,000 posts someday.

I was pretty happy when I broke 1,000, but I didn't announce it or anything, XD. Anyway, good luck with you post count!

I guess it could sound like the only reason I'm posting is to up my count... well, where as I do want to do so, I really just want to post on this forum more and be more active. This is a way of doings so, so no random stuff (unelss its in goof off, which doesn't count).

That only makes my goal harder... thanks guys. 376!

I'm not sure how long it took me to break 1,000 once I became more active :-? I didn't even notice until I was a couple few post in anyways ^__^;

Hmmm, what are some of the things your into :)? Those might make for good thread starters :)

Beh... you whippersnappers and you're 1,000+ posts. In my day we're happy if we got a good 200 in 10 years... uphill, downhill, and across the county line! Ifn' I had a mind for it... deh... what was I sayin' again?

GET OFF MY LAWN OR'N I'LL GET MY SHOTGUN!

Yeah, good idea. I'll probably have to result in making my own threads if I even hope to accomplish it. The hard part is, starting a topic that others will converse about for a while.

Yes, thanks. I've already been warned of this, and I already knew! Thanks anyway. I'm sorely aware that goof off doesn't count (its the reason my post count isn't higher XD )

Agreed.

If you want to boost your post count, I recommend the "What are you listening to now?" thread. It currently has over 609 pages of nearly discussion free posts.

http://www.christiananime.net/showthread.php?p=1287977#post1287977

Also, don't forget to stop by the "Birthdays!" thread and offer whoever happens to be currently having a birthday [s]condolences[/s] congratulations. That way, you can win friends, influence people, and increase your post count, all at the same time.

http://www.christiananime.net/showthread.php?t=1777&page=246

Finally, greeting the new members over at the "Who's Who" section of the forums is a great way to earn a few posts while contributing to the overall friendliness of the site. Just make sure to use different greetings every once in a while.

Grave digging also works well.

This is false. Do not grave dig. If we catch you grave digging we will send Steve to your house to eat your children and pets.

Seriously though don't grave dig. 8( We don't like it.

I had the same ambition myself when I first joined....

Goof Off is a good place....also check on Prayer Requests (cuz you help more than just yourself) and things like " What are you Reading? or What are you listening to?"

Your goal is obtainable; you only have to devote a bit of time to achieve it. Good luck!

Um, no? Goof Off posts don't go towards your post count.
