my last thought about titles
I personally do not care much about raising my status in this place, especially with the number of post. This is a place for people to share ideas and experience, so that we can all benefit from the knowledge flowing around this website.
I see posting high number of messages for a big reputation as meaningless and waste of everyone's time. I don't even think people should really care about their status in this forum. People should be too engaged in discussions and the competition that they won't have time for high number. If you have all the energy and ego, why don't you spend them on the robot?
Now, about the stats itself, I have nothing against that. I personally enjoy to see how people use this forum, and stats will tell us some of the behaviors of people. I even enjoy people playing around with numbers and make fun of certain FIRST-a-holics for posting too much in this place...
I remember back at last season the top people who posted the most are Anton, myself, Dr. Joe, Jessica Boucher, and Matt Leese. I can tell you that none of us have top number of posting because we want a high stat and a big reputation. We all have something to share to the rest of the group, and we weren't afraid to say it. We were only trying to get/give as much out of/into this place as we can.
Stats should only be side numbers that add a taste to this place, not a measure of success or anything like that...
