How many Posts have you done

[Golfingnut]

I did some research to find out what is or is not excessive posting. Apparently, with over several thousand posts under my belt, I should consider slowing down.

Golfingnut, if you go to the Home Page, you can get the list of the top posters.
You come in at #45. Plenty of people ahead of you, so don't worry :)

Wait - Why?

Do you enjoy reading posts and posting on here ?

I gather you do so . . . what is the problem?

Who cares if someone thinks you post too much. Everyone needs something to do - a hobby of sorts.

Life is too short - IF YOU ENJOY IT - DO IT !!!!

I love TOTV and sincerely enjoy posting on here. I also enjoy opinions of others. No offense meant, just thought it would be an interesting read and thread. I manage to play golf, piddle in my workshop and still average 3 posts per day. That many posts every day is a little strange, but to your question, YES I do enjoy it.

I just wanted to gain the highest rank as Sage. Is there another rung to climb? Where is this information on the home page? I only see the top 10, and they are all people I love, but this is about achieving, right?
Where do I stand?
I'm pumped now....

You are #30.
When you see the top 10, it's a drop down menu. Change it to "view more",then change again to top 20, top 100, etc

Aw. I was going to ask that.

I don't see it under the pull down of the top ten. can you give a url?

[ugotme]

FYI - did not take any offense, thought you were either being annoyed by "someone" or felt bad about posting.

LOL - ENJOY!

The pull down option only shows up if you are logged in. Otherwise, you can only see the top 10.

I am always logged in. I never log out. Curious.

Take the word "excessive" out of your vocabulary.
Most of what you say is well accepted and makes sense or is informative,
and not like my stuff, half of which is removed.

Dear Lou:

10. You check your blog stats a LOT. You occasionally get up in the middle of the night and sneak a peak.

9. Your significant other suspects you are having an affair with your blog. Even when you’re alone with your special person, you do find yourself thinking what your blog might be doing right then…

8. You “mental blog” while driving or on the train, and sometimes even when you are alone in the shower.

7. You filter everything through your post-writing. You can’t watch a movie, see a play, read an article, or share a sweet moment with your child without thinking of whether it’s blog-worthy.

6. You suffer from “blog envy” when another blogger posts something juicy before you do. You suffer “comment envy” when said post gets 40-something comments – the jerk!

5. You “binge blog” 3 or 4 posts at once—only to feel guilty and empty afterward.

4. You ditched all your real friends for blog friends, because, well, “they understand.” You bypass Bowling Alone at the bookstore (who really cares?) while you reach for Naked Conversations.

3. You think, “I can stop at any time.”

2. Your lunch hour has become your “blog hour.” You keep a few posts tucked in your desk in case you need them during the day.

1. After 5 minutes of meeting someone really interesting you ask, “So - do you blog?”

Dear Lou:

I have 7,759 posts and with this one 7760. I did these posts when I was working, and a had a lot of extra time, as my job, was not demanding.

Nine of these points, don't apply to me, as I have a busy schedule, with many priojects to do.

I will be the first to admit this site is addictive, (#3), and can be fun, as well as informative. Anyone who is planning to move to TV, would find this blog immensely helpful, in easing the transition.

I have posted a lot less now that I am in TV, because there are so may things to do. I would find it hard to stop, as I like to be informed about the people I care about, via this forum. We all live busy lives, but never too busy to help our friends, in time of need.

BTW - I have trouble sleeping, as my mind is racing, with things I need to do, Hence, this post may seem, as if in the middle of the night but I can't sleep with so many projects, whirling in my head and not to rush, what I need to say.

WarmesT Regards,

Joe

BTW - If you get thrown off of this forum, I think your new handle should be.

I had trouble finding it also until I figured out what rayschic meant (btw thanks). This may not be the issue for you, but it was for me. You do not click on Top Posters, you click on the Top Ten Stats. Check out this attachment...

As I approach twenty thousand posts, I have something to say on this issue. I have read hostile posts about me and my enormous quantity of posts on Topix, probably by those who snipe at me every once in awhile on this forum.


I love reading what people think, what people suspect, what people are planning, what makes them happy or sad, or MAD and what they do every day. I love responding to them and bantering with them and debating with them and arguing with them and joking with them.
.
In six years I have so enjoyed this forum. Probably the main reason is that I can read far better than I can hear these days and probably because I have always been a people person. I have made many friends on this forum and sadly, a few enemies, a first for me because I usually avoid all kind of confrontations. I think being sheltered by the screen on the computer gives us a bit of courage, somewhat like a couple of Bud lites.


I am not sure why I post so much, I am pretty sure it is an obsession, but I enjoy it.


One of the reasons I love this forum is getting to know and make friends with wonderful people like 2BNTV. I am SO glad he is NTV now, safe and sound. I know many people, like me followed his long journey to his "dream".

I resemble that remark. Idle Roomers Part II (1943) - YouTube (http://youtu.be/H4Pzohbv7bw)

I am happy to read that most agree, we that have thousands of posts are a little lacking in something, but since we enjoy it, what is the harm.

Use the link above and just change "results to view" from 5 to 100.

I also have been slandered on TOPIC and am still waiting for an apology I may never get.

I agree. It helps pass the time and in many instances helps cement friendships, create relationships, or does other often wonderful things. I have found TOTV to be one of the best experiences I have had on the Internet since becoming a web addict around 1999.

I run into people who know about me and my various experiences all over the Villages. TOTV has played a huge role in that.

If the owners find out how much money I have saved by using this site for contractors, they may send me a bill.

[rubicon]

I do not know how many posts I have but now that the subject is being raised I will take a peek as soon as I submit this post.

For most posters the main reason for posting is sharing.

While I try not to be rude or hurt anyone's feelings you can be assured that if I say it here I would say it to all in person. The reason many of us remain anonymous is because some folks just are born to be pesky

Once again, you confuse me, not hard to do, I know. LOL. I have full confidence that you above all else, would be the same in person as on the net. You and Bucco are obviously both very honest straight forward and very intelligent. although we often disagree, I can say nothing but positive statements about your integrity and ability.

golfingnut: I am "very intelligent" from your lips to my wife's ears:1rotfl:

I a serious note the only reason I pointed out that I wouldn't say anything on here that I wouldn't say in person was solely because some posters seem to believe that other posters seem to hide so they can take free shots, etc. My apology for the personal reference but I did not feel it my right to speak for others nor do I suspect they would desire to give away that right

Sharing of information is the big dividend here on TOTV

Again you confuse me, but I hope since every one knows my name and address, understands that I come with open arms, that I hide nothing. I mean no harm, but will openly express my difference of opinion. I do say again, that you and Bucco are very honest posters.

[Love2Swim]

I think for a lot of us it is information sharing, reading about local happenings, helping newbies with their questions about The Villages, and more. For some people it is also a form of socialization. I prefer to socialize with people face to face, but it is understandable that some people are unable to get out of the house for various reasons, whether it is poor health or looking after loved ones, and online forums such as TOTV serve as a substitute means of having contact with others. And the monthly get-togethers at Crispers probably help reinforce those online friendships.

Thank you so very much for your kind words. It means a lot to me. :smiley:

TOTV is addictive for people who enjoy other people, and hearing what they have to say. Some people think their truth, is the only truth. Some people think only serious post should be made, and when something of significant value can be imparted.

I for one, go for the humor when applicable, and can be serious for matters of significance. We all choose when we want to joke around and with whom, we joke with.


We all would be better off, "if we agree to disagree respectfully.


Editorial - The last sentence is serious, and should be adhered to. Besides, it's one of the rules of TOTV forum, that sadly, is sometimes overlooked. IMHO

[nitehawk]

That is what is nice about TOTV ...We all are entitled to our own opinions
