    1000 posts

    1000 posts is way too many posts to be a qualification for the Old Timers Board. Heck, I only have 161 according to my profile. I've been around for years but don't post a tremendous amount.

    Quality and content of posting is much more important than the number of posts.

    That's because someone vouched for your membership on this board in the past. Plus, I know you've had more than 1,000 posts here in the past for sure since this is your newer profile and some post-count stuff was lost in the switch-over.

    Quality and content of posting is much more important than the number of posts.
    One thing that's been proven pretty true over the years is that a person can kinda mask how they're gonna be in their first 100-300 posts. Over about 1,000 posts, you get an idea of what that poster's all about, and if they're responsible enough of a poster to be on here...it tells you whether or not their posts will more likely than not have quality and content. That's why the 1,000 number.

    Plus, as I told the Blue smoke fellow, there's plenty of other members enjoying the regular boards and waiting until their post count hits 1,000 in order to gain access to this board. That rule's been evenly applied across the board. The ONLY exceptions have been when posters have had other OT board members vouch for them, or in situations w/the switch-over where posters lost either part or all of their post count.

    Wow, it just hit me that I've been around on here for at least 10 years. Thanks for the reminder Rocky.

    Though granted I used to be one of those that liked to cause trouble back in the day... Long live the "Pole Bridge SwampRat:"!
