How could someone possibly have 260,000 forum posts?

@big_jon said:

Okay, I may be totally wrong, I think it's 172,000, not sure how I got 260,000, but still!

This changes everything, Jon. How do you make this mistake? Just kidding. That many posts is just insane.

Wow, that's pretty ridiculous. Once you pass the 100,000 threshold, you might need to consider doing other things.

nerd judging nerds judging nerds! where does the cycle end!?

I genuinely feel sorry for the loss of time that could have been valuably spent that this person frittered away on posting on an internet forum.

I think that the Comic Vine staff interviewed him a while back. If that's his thing, then more power to him.

But the same can be said about people who waste time playing video games.

Posting about how some guy posts too much.
 
Snake eating its tail.

I wish I had a nickel for all those post counts.

That's pretty crazy. I can see how someone could get to that number but it would require a great deal of dedication that should probably been spent on something more productive.

That explain why Tony and Sara know more user names on their site than the Giant Bomb crew does of their own forums. I been listing to Comic vine podcast for a while and they seem to recognize usernames when they answer e-mails. I think the number you saw were forum views. The person who has the most post was 170,000. Comic Vine has two users that have more than 900,000 wiki points.

Wait, people actually pay attention to post count?

Well, I guess when it's that large it catches the eye.

Games are more fun though, and they improve hand eye!

If that's not just some spam bot then this information does my head in.

Comic book nerds are the worst.

With a bunch of one word posts? Doubtful.

Yes. Some people do make the effort of moving their eyes from one object to the next on a webpage.

@Video_Game_King: When i grow up i wanna be like you.

I just added one to mine on here. Riiiiight now! OK, not now, but then? Or will it be now?

I remember when I was #1 on Giant Bomb. Damn that three months of unemployment and no internet access!

How is going to ComicVine your first mistake? It's a good site, and we're chums with them!

This.

QFT

The site says 172 000 is the highest post count. Where did you get 260 000?

Kinda jealous, It's taking me forever to get to 1,000 on GB but I did that in like a week when I used to run amuck on IGN

ComicVine has a ton of game threads. By "game" I mean "what did you last watch/read/play" and other such threads, like "what grinds your gears?" and "what's going through your mind right now?". There used to be a lot of chat threads, too, where people could talk about whatever, and let's not forget about battle threads. I don't know if those are still around, but still, not that inconceivable to get a post count into the hundred thousands when the site's been around for six years or so.

This.

<>, this, 8), etc

I don't even know what my post count is. In fact, I'm only writing this comment so I can see that number.

If you'd had internet, you could have been on top with all that free time.

(Says the guy who does most of his posting from work >.>)

No matter how it happened, that's absolute insanity.

wow that is crazy. i thought my 12,000 posts were a lot. i guess if you have something to say.

Or 7 posts a day for 100 years

That's what they want you to think, actually it's an evil viral plan to take over the world.

Yeah, let's make this thread about what it's really about. Video games > comic books.

If it was a moderator/staff then could make sense but highly illogical on why.

Hey man. Hes just making sure Goku wins all them vs. threads. Leave him be.

Still wondering this.

Hey Baldur's Gate come over and cloak!

People are kinda into comics, I guess thats right.

@dudeglove: Fascists!

I have seen someone on the IGN boards a few years back with almost 1 mil post.

But has had an account since the n64.com days so I guess its possible.

I had over 5000 post on an old forum until the website went under that is in 4 years of posting.

Simple. Like Giant Bomb and most internet forums. People don't post actual thread posts or engage in discussions. But instead spam the first thing that cums to their mind.

That's not a post count, it's a comment count. Also a sign of autism.

@RandomHero666: I should start replying to random threads "lol cum". Seriously.

Considering Comic Vine has threads such as "the last guy who posts here before a mod wins" I am not that surprised.
