Laze wrote Some people may actually be active though, 'Quality not quantity'. However most of the time you can tell they are lying. Which is actually quite rude, considering there are actually people out there who are active who don't get seen. Who also never gets a chance.

I feel it comes across as being very rude

Post count and year count have nothing to do with each other. Some people on here are 5 year members and have about 500 posts, but that doesn't mean they're inactive. They could be on here more often that anyone, just they don't post as often. Being active means being online, not posting all the time. Most of the most helpful members spend all day in the shoutbox. Therefore not getting their post count up.

So this rant is pretty silly. I mean who cares? Really.

Pens wrote This really annoys me.
When I look through comments on a gold giveaway that asks 'why you think you deserve it' I see so many posts from people with next to nothing on their post count, that claim they are active 24/7 and love to help people out.
Half of these people are 1 year+ members. Like they actually think people are going to believe that they are active.
This really annoys me.
Please share your thought on this.

If you look at my post count and year's active they probably don't add up. And you'd probably suggest i'm not active. I'm on this site everyday, i have a tab opened up at all times. Just because i don't post every day doesn't mean i'm not active. I post when i need to, not because i want to get my post count up. I think my rep accurately show's quality is better than quantity- it's alot higher than where it should be.

I care, it really annoys me.
And if someone claims they love to help with people's trouble and say hello to new people and care for them. They are clearly lying when they only have about 5 posts!!

I mean low post counts, you clearly have been active because you have over1000 posts.
I mean people with barely 30 posts. Please read carefully what I'm saying people

You can't really determin if they are active from their post count or their join date they could just be people who just search the forum and don't post but at the same time active.

I thought Billy Mays was dead this whole time.. Turns out he's an internet spirit lurking TTG.

Anyways, yes. I find it quite comical when new users say they are active. They say they deserve gold and I immediately just laugh at them thinking that.

That is just human nature. People are born selfish and need to be taught to be honest and respectful.

Sanyo wrote It upsets me when people have been here for +1 years and only got less than 100 post, and they start begging for stuff.

This makes me mad too. People that joined like 2 years ago with 50 posts begging for gold because it will help them "BE MORE ACTIVE"

It only bothers me when a person thinks they are better than another person because they have more years than another person but have a low post count. When in actuality those people usually only come here to get free stuff.
