PW question

Biitchplease · April 2012

Is someone only considered a PW if they start a lot of posts? What about the people who rarely if ever start a post but ALWAYS comment within in a thread, are they considered a PW also or is there a different name for that, like Thread Wh0re?

There would be a lot of us then if that was the case. Stick out tongue Myself included. I try to for the most part be active on the board.

I consider PW if you start a bunch of threads. If no one comments then this wouldn't really be a supportive forum. I think most thread whores, like myself, are willing to admit they post a lot. I always feel bad when people don't comment on threads. I personally like it when I get a lot of replies to a thread I've started so I try to do the same for others.

Everyone is different. Some people consider a PW to be someone who posts a lot of posts at one time/ in one day. I don't. I consider a PW to be someone who starts a lot of posts in one day.

And LMAO at thread wh0re.

Yes but responding a lot with good advice is different that posting +1 or just to get your post count up.

Agreed, but sometimes a thumbs up from me means that I completely agree! For example KK's post was perfectly said and I was supporting the comment. Big Smile

ETA: A thumbs up from me always means I support it, not sometimes. I do not try to get post count up. I do not need to since I have been on here since last Aug. Stick out tongue

Thread whores unite!

If nobody posts anything to existing threads because they're afraid of being called out as "thread whores", then internet message boards everywhere will meet a quick demise. Interaction and comments are sort of the point!

Starting a dozen threads in a few hours - problem. Finding something to contribute to a dozen threads in a few hours - not a problem. At least that's the way I see it. Someone who posts nothing but "thumbs up" all the time and doesn't have anything to say will get an eye-roll from me, but it's not that big a deal. So what if it's padding someone's post count?

I do notice you do that and I really do thinks that nice. Nothing worse than having your post be a major flop. But you most certainly are a Thread Whore, but you own it so I am cool with that.

Silly question... What's PW? It's not on the glossary.

I agree with this, but I also think that there are a few people who have to get their 2 cents in on everything, even if they may not know what they're talking about. It's one thing to be supportive and helpful in a lot of threads. But people who just want to run their mouths and express an (often uninformed) opinion on everything can be annoying, IMO. It seems like newbs have a tendency to do this more than regs.

Me too, but I do remember.

I feel like a PW is someone who posts a lot about really random stuff that no one could give two sh*ts about. Like "I'm haveing tacos for dinner!" or "I'm on CD5 and my bbs hurt" or "Is it weird I like kittens?"

Kingston54 · April 2012

I've had days where I might be considered both, haha. Sometimes weeks will go by without posting much and then other days I'll respond to every other thread. Then other days I have 3 questions in a row to ask.
