ChanMan Posted November 26, 2010 Author Share Posted November 26, 2010 Gotta write a song.... like this: The 1000th post (A)The 1000th post was drawing nigh, (A)He knew that it was do or die© (G)to write some prose for all to see © (A)committed to posterity (F)upon the forum (G) pages,by and by(A) For AXE did throw the gauntlet down with clever words of great reknown an Ode unto the forum folks Who jam guitars and laugh and joke and always make our faces smile or frown 'twas years ago the lyrics flow that issued forth somewhere below had long since, untapped remained no verse, no chorus or refrain no garantee that he could make it go But as it always had before the words came forth, but something more inspired by the forum's sight he had of Les Pauls, cool and mighty the inner muse oozed rock from every pore Listening to the inner band Trusty Les Paul in his hand he crAnked his amp up to "11" to get that tone that comes from heaven And the jam sang out across this mighty land So here's to you, my inspiration (and sometime's cause for my sedation) please tell your tales and post your pics it makes me jam to get my fix This ode to you: "Long Live the Gibson Nation!

Kimbabig Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 The 1000 posts made Kimbabig boast about fun times with friends, and keeping up to date with forum trends. He puts his foot in his mouth so its a good thing he doesn't have gout. He loves to play his Flying V but can't play it on his knee, He wants to say with forum friends so that the fun times never end. Not very poetic, but pretty good for 30 seconds (thats a lie, it took two minutes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tman Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 He puts his foot in his mouth so its a good thing he doesn't have gout. Hilarious! Seems you "nailed" it and have a "toehold" on the concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookieman15061 Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Funny thing is I first started coming here a few years ago to learn all I could about Gibson's in general and Les Paul's in particular. Soon I found myself coming to the lounge and being pulled into "discussions" about politics and religion and like a car wreck I couldn't look away. I understand the lounge was set up for us to talk about a variety of subjects but I eventually realized on some matters it was better to not even click on that subject. and it's great to have some of the old guard checking back in.

Silenced Fred Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Does post count make me smart? Hell naw, but I know more than when I started. Most of the stuff I post here will seem stupid to people, but I use it to gain knowledge and kind of vent on stuff from every day life. A lot of you know a ton of stuff that I could only wish to know. I try to be helpful and not detract from the site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MojoRedFoot Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Some people have 2000 posted but posted pretty much the same few things over 1000x. I'll admit I post some nonsense but it is to lighten the mood. I try my best to post quality. If someone posts a dumb thread, I'd rather not post and piss on people's threads in a lame attempt to boost my count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Well, I can only speak for myself...I LEARN more, than I teach/help, I'm quite sure! But, I enjoy the back and forth, either way. ;>) CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cabba2203 Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Nope. High post count just means you post a lot, it doesn't mean the contents of those posts were of any value at all. It's the quality of the post - not quantity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilpanda Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 post count does not equal knowledge...the 1000 posts could all be questions asking for knowledge of help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Natural Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 more time posting on here means less time spent on the guitar so...higher post count = crap player Right on, Jasper, my brother!

Steven Lister Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 I have heard others state they equate post count to knowledge, though, as in "He has over 5000 posts so he must know his stuff"... What do YOU think? 5000 posts but 4899 in forum games..., yer kidding, right? And may I add ---- now with these lame Good Conduct/Reputation scores..., ...just more forum politics steeenckin' on our boots. None of it means nothing --- each post must stand or fall upon the content therein. Hit every BLUE NOTE baaaby..., I'm going to play on B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChanMan Posted November 27, 2010 Author Share Posted November 27, 2010 Aye, Steven... there was a time on these boards when folks actually equated post count to knowledge. It sparked a pretty good debate then, as well. It looks like an overwhelming majority fall into the quality over quantity category these days. I, for one, am very glad that's true. I shall strive to increase the quality of my posts as I slowly creep towards the 4k mark. It's been a fun couple of years on these boards. I've learned a lot about many things, not all music related. Thanks again, Gibson, for giving us the lounge. I haven't forgotten... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrosurfer1959 Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 I think post count means very little especially if 80% of the posts were saying hello, #1's and the "name the song" game or whatever it's called. I also only glance at it along with the start date if something doesn't make much sense. I think the real meaningless and silly thing here though is the + and - reputation thing, I can't think of any value it has other than a ego stroke especially since you can vote for yourself. I probably vote at least a couple times a week accidentally trying to scroll down on my Ipad hopefully it's a equal number of pluses and minuses and i'm sorry if I ever lower anyones reputation that cares but big hands and a Ipad isn't always a great combination for detail work.
