Since others
seem to do it I thought I'd get in on the fun too.
With this post I moved into the 31st position of total posts.

If you go to the Just for Fun forum and post one word posts incessantly, you might make it into the top 10.

And if you incessantly complain about what and where others post, and then go to the Entertainment forum and make post after post on comic book characters, you can be in the top 20.

We comics geeks may not be curing cancer over in the Entertainment forum, but our posts do at least have the benefit of containing at least one complete sentence in each post.

DaJudge no one has ever begrudged you the pleasure of posting in the Entertainment forum, although it appears that many of the post are by 30+ something year olds trying desperately to hang on to their youth. Let's face facts, comic books are aimed squarely at a much younger and supposedly less mature demographic. However, if you wish to read comics, post about comics, and watch movies based upon comics, that's great. Enjoy yourself. But please back off the cracks about the people who derive their posting pleasure in a different format. The numbers speak for themselves: the Word Association thread has 8,639 post and 291,649 views, the Scrabble thread has 2,907 post with 37,214 views. The number of views would indicate that there is an interest in those threads that is not limited to the people who post in them regularly. I'm not trying to start a fight with you, but your remarks are getting old and tiring.

No disrespect intended but how many of those views are repeat views by the same six or seven people? and how old are those threads? Just trying to get the full view of the numerical data for statistics' sake.

Tisk, tisk.. Don't be
jealous.. because we still can pull it off! A new acquaintance thought I was 29 the other day.
Tip: Never give up trying to stay young (insert at heart.. if the mirror doesn't reflect it anymore)
God Bless!

Beav in the Word association thread there is a ratio of 37.8 : 1, I doubt that a case could be made for multiple views by posters only. I am sure that some may have occurred, but that number would be extremely small when compared with the total views.

Mac I'm not jealous. If you can truly pull it off, then go for it. However, there are few things as pathetic as a middle aged man trying to be a teenager again. Yes, I agree that we should try to stay young at heart. That doesn't mean that I should found sitting in a sand box playing with my Tonka Toy dump truck. I am young at heart and have my toys, they are however
not the toys of my childhood.

Guilty as charged
Let's face facts, comic books are aimed squarely at a much younger and supposedly less mature demographic.
While that may have been true when you were born in the 1930's, that is no longer the case. Comics are marketed toward adults now. If you doubt me, pick one up and read it. Trust me, they ain't for kids anymore.
As far as you and Rahab and JanB posting the one word posts, if that make you happy, have a ball.
