I'm new and your 50-post rule sucks! Please change it for my convenience.

[churchmouse]

We are glad to have you hear. I understand your reasoning for a low post count. There are lots of members that are the same way. If you feel that you do get something from this site, think about becoming a site supporter. With that, you will get access to using the private message system and the classifieds, without feeling the pressure of having to make the post count. Food for thought.

By seconds he beats me...........

But with a much better and well reasoned post.

You want the race to 50........ This is the rules suck 50. We first have to have a race before they say it sucks.

oops

The "rules suck 50"? Aren't races normally sponsored these days? Shouldn't it be something like the "Smith & Wesson rules suck 50"?

Oh Poo......I must be a post whore.....

I remember my first post whore experience, didn't care for it nearly as much as my first during whore experience.

 

[IndyDave1776]

I have to admit, the classifieds are what got me in the door. Of course, back then, I think the bar was 10 posts (or send Fenway a nickel)

I may be a post whore... but I'm at least trying to make it enjoyable....

I first saw the option about the $20 option this morning. Haven't known about it prior. My one question about it is does the $20 option "fix" the PM and classifieds permanently or is it an annual expense until I actually get to 50?

 

[pudly]

You can consider it permanent. You will have some other perks only for that year while you are an official site supporter (store more e-mails, custom label to replace plinker, nifty Site Supporter badge, etc). However, once you've been a site supporter and requested access for PMs/classifieds, that will be permanent.

If you decide to go that way, be sure to read the FAQ about the 50 post rule and becoming a site supporter. After paying, you'll need to PM moderator Que for access to general PMs and classifieds. He'll make the adjustment for you. You are supposed to be able to PM moderators even before 50 posts, but that has been a problem recently. If you can't PM him, then leave a post here and it will be handled.

There are two ways to support INGO- either by contributing content that will attract readers or financially to keep the system up and running. Both are valued and helpful.

This is a great forum and well worth donating $20 a year to help them "keep the lights on"

Nah... 'coal and steam'.

$20??!! You told me $50??! Wtf?

Necroposting is when you resurrect a very old thread that no one has posted in for years. Fly by's I'm guessing are posting something that doesn't add anything to the conversation, like a quick "Agreed" or something along those lines.

Sometimes necroposting is okay, like when you are adding an update to an old news story. However, too often they are simply ridiculous, like someone answering a question that was asked 3 years ago.

Close. Many 50-post runners are simply looking for some way to post quickly and will post some minimal content that is appropriate to a thread. However, if someone responds to them, they've moved on to post in other threads and never return and respond. They've simply "dropped a load" and moved on. It's kinda rude and obvious that they don't really want to interact with other INGOers, just the classifieds.

I wonder if anyone has ever run an algorithm to determine the number of posts to the number of quality posts to determine what the actual count is before you hit 50? For instance I'm making the run to 9000 but trying to make it less obvious by asking a question to which I'll later read the responses if any and possibly counter them. If a quality post is placed on the internet and nobody reads it does it count?
