I was just thinking about things when i realized, that if someone were to read all of my posts, (especially in off topic) they would know about my beliefs, philosophy, political/economical views, girls i've been out with, experiences in my life even my mother would not know... seems like its getting a little weird, too much info? its not like i like to advertise things, i'm not a facebook person, i have EVERYTHINg on private on that...somehow so much info has been posted here, its not on purpose, i just feel like contributing sometimes...


edit: sort of a little mini hypothesis i've made from this poll, the more you post, the more you feel like each post has meaning. Someone who doesn't have many posts probably can't imagine how much information 2000 posts is giving away.

Lots.  Way lots.  And, even then, there is no guarantee that the person hasn't misrepresented themselves or their opinions in some way

For a while there my mother was creeping my GB account.

God damn mothers who sort of understand technology.

I'ma say a lot. Most people think I'm really insensitive until they get to know me.

I do know you... and you kind of are.  I'm kidding.  But I think it depends on what people post on.  If someone sticks to Off topic mostly then only about 500 posts should do but if they post all over like I do, then maybe 1500 to 2000.  If anyone reads all of my posts they should get to know me rather well.

I feel like I can get to know what people here are like from like 5-10 posts, but to know them that well I'm sure it would take less than 500 if they consistently make meaningful posts instead of spouting memes.

It's impossible. Because I'm a significantly different person on the internet than I am in reality. On the internet (especially while gaming online), I'm an antagonist. I'm cynical, and I hate everyone. In reality, I'm a people person that loves puppies, social activity and all that crap. I also don't go around flaunting my political/religious views because I simply don't care enough to share them with random people who have no involvement in my life.

Shouldn't this be a percentage? Not everybody has at least 8000 posts.

11,706. The next post after this will then reveal my entire life's history, my own complete character profile and my future intentions. Or it might not, I dunno.

Depends on the posts, of course. I could respond with "lol your face looks stupid" to every thread, and all that would say about me is that I'm either 6, a Youtube commenter, or brain damaged. (although there is little difference between the three)

Its not about how much they have, its just theoretically, what if i had 500 posts in off topic, a paragraph long each, would you feel like you got to know me rather well?
@TheGremp
Meh i disagree with not sharing your opinions online, its where most people can hear them and really scrutinize them, if your open minded from this endeavor then you should wind up with a fairly sophisticated, robust and coherent point of view. The fact that you don't care about people online only means that your not interested in learning but only in telling people about yoursel.

i doubt anyone here could really fill 500 paragraphs about something thats not video game related, unless most of it is sugar coated with bs. So yeah i think it's implied that there would be a Bunch of subjects(depending on how broad the category of "subject" is) involved.

Looks like my prediction blew up a blank, unfortunately. Sucks, since I was really hoping to find out just what my future intentions are!

Who knows, a few thousand posts in and I'm still not sure if Hitman is legitimately insane.

I really couldn't pin a number to this. From what I've experienced, how well you get to know another user doesn't just depend on their post count, but it depends very largely on your direct interactions with them and the kind of subjects they post about.

Just a few, I can tell who is an alt and who isn't because all the alts (hundreds of them) writes exactly the same. Then again there could be false positives, like the op writes exactly like this alt, so I usually avoid posting in his threads. But i'm not accusing you of anything, you do write like that. Also there are those alts or the same individual (stalker) who reads every single one of my post and combs it over with a fine tooth comb waiting to troll. Other ppl who aren't stalkers, but makes everything I say into some sort of meme.

In conclusion, alts only takes a few post to spot them. Non alts might take a 100 post to know them better. 1000 post, you know they aren't an alt, this alt can't even function like a normal human being and keeps getting his threads locked or his accounts banned annoying everyone with nonsense. Maybe 2000 post, you know their philosophy, system alignment and outlook on life for most normal posters. 8000 post or more, you know them and know they are committed to the site as regular posters because you will always remember them.
