How many of you actually judge someone's standing in this biz by post counts on your particular board of choice?
Damn, I've been in this for near on 5 years now and I didn't EVER post for the first 2 of that.
For the next 2 I generally lurked and read, but hardly posted.
It's probably only been the last 6 months that I have frequently posted on other boards, and even though I read here often, I didn't post.
Now the funny thing about all of that is I would not even consider myself to be in the same Zip code a the real players in this game, and let me tell you, there are more big time operators who don't post or post fuck all than there is that do post often and lots.
Judging a post count is akin to judging a book by it's cover.
On that, if you ever did with say, Serge and ScottyPB come to mind, it would be more fool you.
No offence, but neither of them look half as smart as they really are.

You're on the wrong board if you're looking for people who believe that.

What's with the GFY style intro post?!
Looks to me like drive by spam to get that new program out there! or are you actually planning on chatting here regularly?!?!?
Hi Carla,
Not Tim H...
Close, but no cigar my Dear...
But good to hear your voice - haven't seen you for a couple of years actually, remember when I used to organize the webmaster dinners?
I'l leave you guys to keep guessing - you have done that before with little success when I have posted in past times...
But I do plan being a regular contributor from now on. It's not ALL about processed meat
And did some one say the Brisbane Barnch of the APM...

hey CTB, you going to make San Diego? We still need to get together for that beer we missed in Las Vegas.
Hey Buddy Boy,
Nice to see someone who actually DOES know me - even if just by my hairy butt !!
Unfortunately, won't be in SD, but WILL be in FLA in August?
I reckon we should knock the top off a couple of 40's !!!
Otherwise, it'll have to be Vegas in January (which I will DEFINITELY be at this time !!), and who knows, you may even get an invite to my wedding....
I've always wanted Elvis to do my second marriage !!!

this would have led me to believe it was Daniel Hicks - not many people arrogant enough to come to a board to spam their product and then call those they are trying to do biz with idiots ...
but I saw him a few months ago and he doesn't organise dinners
I don't remember your name, but if its who I think it is I only attended one of those dinners and it was crap and full of offensive morons ... Lisa & I left before ordering dinner.
Whoever you are, why register under a new name with a brand new icq number if you've been around for 5 years?!
tell us who you are ... unless you have something to hide?

Serge, so intelligent he and his friends tried to poach my programmer in a nightclub by slagging me off to him?! obviously intelligent enough to recognize talent, but not intelligent enough to be discreet.
you'll forgive me if I take a little longer than you to warm

Damn expensive post
Do hit me up on that other matter though, I want to clear that up, because I will ALWAYS cop sweet any shit I deserve, but I HATE false accusations and bullshit like that.
I'm sure it is a storm in a teacup, but I would like the opportunity to kneecap whoever spreads shit - unfortunately, MANY people like to stick it in behind my back, but SFA people have the cajones to do it to my face.
Gonzo dude.. hit me up and get ready for me to try and screw you on price.
yes, on the the other boards, you pay with posts, here you pay with money
the same handful of people post lots, the board looks busy, advertisers buy more ads which are effectively useless because everyone posting for free has bigger sigs than most paid banners ... much easier when X service = X dollars, dontcha think?!
you are the one who said post count didn't mean shit ...
If you'd like to flash with me, you can share my spot above for $3k a month & i'll throw in a couple of radio ads and as long as you don't run self installing toolbars, we'll be mostly nice

I was being sort of sarcastic... badly
Let me work on removing those self-installing toolbars and other assorted embedded spyware and get back to you.
Seriously, we are looking at a major affiliate competition and are seriously looking at strong advertising backing for that - so I'm sure we will be in on some level.
