I agree. I lurked from almost the beginning. On a similar note, what's with all of the new members lately? Seems like someone's trying out a low-level AI chat bot here or something. Each one seems to get slightly more human...
Bah to any Lifer that's been here for less than 10 years. I look at join date...that's all that matters.

I thought about making a thread pointing out how tens of thousands of posts enters the book level of content in terms of pages and number of words.
Assuming average novel length of 64,000 words, and only just about 10 words per post (could be higher or lower, as short responses like "bump" bring down the average for me), I've written at least 3 books worth of posts. D:
While I'm sure some of it is worthwhile, that's a lot of time added up. I want to put more of that into writing actual novels, not internet posts... and considering I am actually working on a novel at a slow clip, I find it an especially disheartening stat. I have to spend less time here.
Yeah, my PPD dropped dramatically at some point...once I hit lifer I just stopped caring. I've probably averaged less than one post per day for the last few years.
Funny thing is there are some folks that post to these forums who could have a collection of their posts put together into a book and have it sell reasonably well. NuclearNed comes to mind for one....
well played. But 10k posts in a year? wow.
QFP

I hit 10k in my first ~8 months (and I really didn't post much in the first month or two after signing up). Pretty sure I was at 20k in less than a year and a half.
remember back when the site was just basically one social forum (no sub forums until P&N came along). The forum moved much, much faster back then. It was more like a chat room, than a message board.
Those were good times. When YAGT meant "Yet Another Girl Thread" and babe threads were allowed in OT....wasn't there someone..."conjur" maybe...that actually started a YAGT site?

yep at one point when viewing 100 threads per page you saw about 4 minutes from top to bottom
