Number of Posts???

[Amos Magliocco]

Eliitsts!! High-browed ari-storm-crats! I'm shocked and appalled by the rampant nose-lifting! I'm going to stop (or start) buying (or not buying) all your DVDs, t-shirts, posters, pens, inflatable dolls, Hurricane Gilbert pics from Nebraska, and whatever else you sell (or fail to offer for sale).

How dare anybody lift a finger to try and improve the forum. Shame!

I agree with Michael Gribble. Would it be possible to put the ratio's up, or have some sort of rating system? I'd have no problem with that.

I agree - this seems like it would allow for some headway to be made against widespread frivolous postings.[/b]

hey :idea: and then well we could kick out the lowest score from ST each month and uh then well you see we could have it to just the high quality posters .... Yea thats the ticket :roll:

This thread has officially spun out of control. (I don't care if this struck anyone as 'unneccesary')

 

[Andrew Khan]

Yes it has Shane. I never expected to see 3 pages of comments after I made my two. What is done is done, obviously the moderators think it's a wise choice, so let it be.

Why can't we all just get along? Seriously, bros... Let's all go play some o dat funky music with the big George C, and go roll down the street on 24's with the big Snoop Dogg. Perhaps, let's all go chase Hurricane Katrina in central Nebraska and western Iowa, in brand new Mercedes' and Mustang GTs.

No more GC avatars - let's all change our avatars of the storms we catch. Hopefully, this time I could do that without ticking off some weird people who like to make threads on how useless I am, or how much I have to learn, or how much I will fail.

Yes, that post was useful :lol:

Back to something worthy, I guess...

It sounds like you are referring to my post, so I'd like to respond (if you were not, I apologize in advance). I don't have any problems with improving the forum, but I'm uncertain that creating some sort of "rate the post" system will help matters at all. On paper, it seems like a great idea since posters that everyone agrees are posting worthless stuff will become pariahs in short order. However, what will happen when personal vendettas enter the equation? Will obviously quality posts be relegated to the "useless" category simply because of personal bias? I don't know, but it could happen if such a system were implemented.

I'm all for new ideas, but this just happens to be one I would recommend scratching off the list.

To sum it up...

1) I don't think the post count should have been removed
2) I don't think people were competing for post counts
3) My George Clinton avatar is here to stay
4) If you don't like it, then tough
5) For those who didn't like the post count - no one forced you to look at it
6) I will attempt to shut my mouth on this topic, but it probably won't happen

I'm pretty sure the "banning crazy-hair avatars" thing was a joke. Don't worry; nothing is wrong with your avatar

Thanks to all of you for your input; however, the board will remain as-is.[/quote]

 

[Bryce Stone]

I liked the post count simply because, like Shane, I like stats. However, I'm certainly not going to cry now that it's gone. Perhaps a very acceptable solution would be for each member's post count to be visible to that member while they are logged in.

For those who want to keep up with other members, the post count is always available by searching the memberlist.

I'm number 86 on the total posts, but I like a different stat better . . . I was the 184th member to join out of 1080 members so far. So there.

(By the way, Gabe, Amos was being sarcastic but he forgot to insert his <sarcasm> tag)

 

[KMcCallister]

I agree with everybody.

Yeah, like tornados are cool and stuff!


Post #322 ....77th place. I'm going to catch up with you Gabe!

Gabe,

Me and the fourth beer were being extremely sarcastic. Sorry it didn't translate. I had nobody in mind when I posted that other than myself and my own self-amusement.

Now THAT'S why I read a weather forum :!: And I'm NOT being sarcastic! :lol:

We spent a good part of last night reading the heavy snow warnings, winter storm warnings and winter storm watch texts from areas such as our beloved Black Hills in SD. Deadwood in 9" of snow......wow. That would be absolutely beautiful. Time to update that "things I must do this winter" list......

BTW whatever the mods do to help the board is absolutely nothing to do with me. I'll keep posting for my own amusement and that's that.

Oops!

In case you're wondering why rdewey's post is suddenly missing, it's because I was trying to quote his post in a reply and I accidentally hit "edit" instead of "quote", and didn't realize it until after I hit "submit". I feel really bad about not having been more careful; nothing about his post violated any of Stormtrack's TOS. I just wanted to make that clear and to also apologize to everyone for this mistake. I'm still not used to the "edit" button being next to everyone's posts on the board, but from now on I will be much more careful when I am quoting others' posts.

Robert, I'm very sorry and I hope you will continue to contribute your ideas to this thread despite my slip-up.

LOL, I've done that over 100x. It takes some getting use to.

No worries. 8)
