And here, ladies and gentlemen, we have not one but TWO posts (this one included) as to how to make worthless statements that everybody knows and the reason of why primarch has so many posts in these boards 
I am sure he will reply to this message further his aim for a primarchload of messages even further away 
Health and sixes,
Xavi

worless post #4 in a row answers to worthless post #3 in a row:
indeed
Sometimes I feel the need to make pointless statements when it is raining too hard to think about going to the laundry

The more I thought about it the more I wanted to express something. I know Xavi was half joking, but I feel the need to say this:
Let's not get hung up on post counts, please. Let's not worry if someone posts something silly or useless, please.
One of the things I found hard abou the "Official" boards was that people were starting to set up "classes" of posters based on their post count. At that time I was one of the top ten and I was unhappy with the way things started go.
For example, someone would post an idea, I would challange it, and the person would back off without any response because I was a "top poster". No debate or exchange of points of view. Just gone. I saw other top posters grow to use that against others. The "I know more then you because I have been here longer" kind of thing. 
People started to give more weight to opinions and ideas given based on the posters post counts. It was even obvious some people posting just to raise their count. (And I mean obvious, not fun banter like here). When one of the others and I made fun of it, we were told to back off.
This forum has a friendly, room full of buddies, feel to it. I would love to see it stay that way. I do not care if someone who joins in has one post, 20, 200, or 20,000. I just want to have fun with the people on this forum.
OK, I know I am going way heavy on this, but I had to say it. Sorry if I have gon too far.

I agree. I saw the same thing over on the SG forums...and that is one of the reasons I dont go over there too often. Post count doesnt matter, making this a fun place where ideas are discussed without prejudice is.
my 2cents,

Oh I know that you played along, I guess it just pushed one of my buttons.

Woa dues! Indeed it WAS a joke! No hard intentions. It is simply that due to the almost round robin joke about "primarchloads" it was an easy prey in that moment. Sometimes one feel like that
I don't particularly feel any "respect" or lack of it for anybody regarding their post count. I have been in several things where that event used to happen but in general after a week or 2 in site you know who is god or not depending on the QUALITY of their posting, not the ammount. In a lot of sites and forums I visit I give poo about the opinion of the top posters, while some people that have been around but posting way less are my top notch ranked members to receive comments from.
So, no, for me it was simply a joke. Actually if you ask me if Dafrca has 200 o 2k posts I woll not be able to answer. I can only say that primarch and L4 have loads of posts becuase I noticed that in a thread we did regarding precisely post count (IIRC the place where the expression "primarchload" came to existence), but I do not even look at post counts in most cases. Sometimes I do, out of curiosity, bit that doesn't change my impression of a dude, only that I find some numbers funny,t hat's all.
Hope that clarified a little bit my position. Sorry if you felt concerned about it, but for me it was a joke
Regards,
Xavi

Just to add my support to something that everyone seems to agree to and no-one is arguing with (does that make this a pointless post? )
This kind of thing started to blatently happen on Portent a while ago, and some people needed reminding that post count is completely unrelated to experience in a game. Just because someone has just joined a board, it does not mean that they have not been playing the games for 10 years. In addition, even if someone has just joined and just started playing, their (often unbiased) opinions are sometimes exactly what is needed.
(Besides, my post count is falling behind some of the 'big guns here'... )
