The race to 50, who will it be today and what do they want

[LockStocksAndBarrel]

He's still running. Up to 20 posts so far and I see no deletions from last night. "Wow!" is still there as is "Awesome setup" or something to that effect. He's pretty subtle though, I must say.

Link is dead for me... Says I need to update Java.... Ok... When I try to update it says computer is too old... Go figure.

Hmmm...

Now for the $64k question, what do you think he is after?

I'm not after anything. Honestly there isn't anything in the classified that I want.

That would refreshing. When we see a bunch of one and 2 word post it's usually a sign of someone looking to hit 50 so they can use the classifieds. Hang around. You'll find that is a a great forum. Congrats on winning the 12 days of X-max giveaway.

Don't take it personally. There are so many people who join just to snag something from the classifieds or to try to flip things it's ridiculous. The 50 post rule was created to try to keep this down. Keep an eye on this thread and you will see some of the silly things people do to try to circumvent the rules. They drag up threads that are years old and make a post of "wow" or "I agree". There are even those that count. "1" next thread "2" etc. It really is entertaining to watch.

Geez, I've been on here for like 3 months and I'm almost to 50. (I'm more of a reader but I'll put my $.02 when I feel appropriate) I know I have lots of short posts that would not be considered "quality" but at the same time I joined to look at reviews and to get opinions on things and to maybe make a few friends. I really wouldn't mind a higher # than 50. It's kind of sketchy to buy a gun from a stranger.

Just keep posting where you feel it is appropriate and you have something to add to the conversation. They add up fast.

Hey! I made it to 50 and didn't see anyone hosing me in this thread!

I was going to start my own thread for this post, but what the heck. If I'm going to draw "love" from the folks around here I'm apparently going to have to do more to get noticed!

So, how many posts do I need to start having fun? I didn't see it in the FAQ.

This is actually the first forum I've ever made 50 posts to and I've been on arfcom since 2008 or so.


I did kind of a quick scan to see if anyone in this thread had "fingered" me, but I didn't see anything. I only have the internet at work and get opportunities to post when I'm wasting time so I won't bother you guys too much that live here.

Thanks for having me.

Since you have your 50, you can be as sad and inane as the rest of us now.

Hey Karl.

Being a newbie isn't what puts you on the 50-post runner watch. In fact, some runners have been around for months or years without posting much before they decide to make a run. We actually want people like you who take the time to legitimately participate in discussions. The intent of the 50-post rule is that the newbie learns about INGO, contributes to the content of the site (which is its primary value), while at the same time we learn about the newbie. In other words, you become part of the community. People who have invested time and effort to develop a connection with the community aren't as likely to rip off their fellow members.

Runners on the other hand, generally have a specific pattern. Either right after joining or at some point later, they notice something that they must have in the classifieds. At this point, the 50-post rule becomes an obstacle to overcome, rather than something that actually provides a positive benefit to the community. At that point, all of their posts are quick-and-dirty and do not have a goal of contributing to discussions, but instead to quickly add to post count. It is amazing how lame most runners are, posting things like: 1, 2, 3, yeah, me too, etc. Some are a little more sophisticated contributing up to a full sentence. Either way, they add little to INGO and are generally eager to get to a purchase before a contributing member or in listing their own item, often at inflated prices. These things are easy to do if you don't have anything invested in the community.

So, you've done it the right way. Thanks for that. In addition to access to the classifieds, you now can relax a little on quality of your posts. One liners are okay (hopefully they are still relevant), but just posting this to indicating you are lurking will always be lame. -->

Thanks pudly, I appreciate the feedback.

Now, who do I send 20 bucks to be a site supporter?
