@Newgate, posters occasionally comment that they've lost hundreds (or maybe thousands) off their post totals over the years.

Some say they were re-asigned registration dates and really go back many more years. So I think it would be impossible to say who "holds the record".

Please don't think of it as a competition. The comparisons are all apples to oranges anyhow.

Some zip off frequent one-liners while others craft epics.

Some people spend all their time in one or a few forums, others skip all over the Community Menu. 

Some are logged on all day and others visit infrequently. 

Just try, post by post, not to write something that will be embarassing to read if you run accross it a year from now. 

That doesn't always work (for me). But try.

@x HedgeOh..I never thought of it as competition!  I was only joking about who holds the record!   I completely enjoy posting here!!

Speaking totally for myself, I don't like to look at it.  Why?  Because it makes me feel like I'm 'full of myself'.  That I think I have so much to add to every conversation.  It embarrasses me, I never took at it.

I think someone recently mentioned it and they said they don't look at it either.  Actually, I've been a member for longer than it says I have.  The same thing with the person I mentioned.

@Annabellethecat66Don't be embarrassed!  I enjoy posting here and now I understand that you have been posting longer than it says!! Thanks!!

@Newgate  I guess your commission check is going to be meager this year.

@Kachina624    LOL!!  I must try harder!!!

As someone who's had my number of posts reduced to zero twice due to QVC's "updates" and had my start date restarted those same two times, I don't look at either anymore.  As someone said, it's like comparing apples to oranges, since some posters have kept their original counts. 

[OnlyShopsOnline]

Who knows!  I've been here since October 2006, but my date was changed.  And, I lost posts twice, I believe.

I don't even pay attention to that anymore.

I find this forum very entertaining and informative.  There are some posters who amaze me with their laugh out loud replies and quick wit.  lots of diverse opinions.  

[Plaid Pants2]

I'm not in competition with anybody in post count, but I do like to see just how many I have, just for the fun of it.

eta: I just now saw that I am now an "esteemed" contributer!

Whatever that means.

@Newgate

Everyone starts the same way, as a beginner, welcome! I have no idea who is the queen, or maybe even king, when it comes to their number of posts. Remember, some of us have been here years, maybe too many, eh?

Post numbers mean very little to me, and I seldom ever look at them. I am a guy that is interested in the content of the post/forum and thread name. I have learned a lot here over the years, mostly from the ladies. Hopefully I may have enlightened a few with some of my usually very loooooong posts. I am in a small minority here when it comes to my male gender.

If you ever track down the answer to your question, let us all know who, and how many will ya?      =^..^=

I don't understand why anyone would place any importance on people's post counts or assign any kind of meaning to it.

[itiswhatitis]

I don't work here (so I won't get a paycheck for every heart or post I create).  I just like posting here.

This is the only social media outlet I do post on as I don't do the big ones.  When I first started out posting here in 2016, I didn't post often.  The more I logged on, the more I like discussing any number of things with other posters.  I enjoy posting here.
