1/3 of the Dakkanauts with ridiculously high post counts rarely leave the OT forum (or did, but it is closed now) - meaning that they almost never contributed anything here.

Alpharius and Waaaugh! Gonads have ridiculously high post counts. 13-19k. I wonder how many thousands of those posts are in the 800 page or so thread in the DCM forums that entirely consists of pictures of scantily clad women?

Don't put value on the number of posts someone has, but rather in the content of what they write.

So, I finally found out what it was....

Recently I noticed I went up in rank. I thought "oh, how cute". That was the end of my exhilaration.

From the lofty heights of 20,000+ posts, I will remind users that +1 posting to increase your rank is strongly discouraged, except from continental European users on a Friday evening when they have been drinking.

I don't really care, other than seeing what army type people have chosen. Especially after I ranked up into a fantastically useless flashgit.
