1. do you need a certain post count to post in the forum?

[One Taste]

3. Yes

You need at least 250 posts and to be a member for over a month.

2. I'm not, but

I really don't like this rule because it encourages pointless posts.

[Bill McBlueState]

5. exactly!

The post I made to start this thread is a fine example of a pointless post.

Spose that's what the lounge is for, though.

10. Thanks for the thread

I went to the discussion in GD-2004 to post my complaint but you can't even do that. Several of the >250 club are supporting revisions to the rule.

Until then I guess I will stay in the lounge and do a bunch of LOL's and ROFLMAO's to get my post count up.

4. Yeah, I'm not even close.

Well, one closer, I guess.

6. I wish you many pointless posts

so you can get your numbers up. I've been a member over a year but don't post much. Tomorrow I'm flying to Iowa volunteering for Edwards - and will probably not get my post count up before the primary is finished since I plan to continue working in other states.

I haven't posted much because as an Edwards supporter, especially maybe two or three months ago, if I said I liked Edwards I'd get flamed for falling for a pretty face. Was intimidated by other posters and don't like being castigated.

When I'm back in town maybe I'll post about the experience in the politics/campaigns thread.

Happy posting. Just pop in and say "I agree" every once and a while in the GD thread and it shouldn't take much time to waste the bandwidth.

7. You could try spending time writing letters

writing letters for you candidate. I did twenty I guess - gets old and you have to take a break - but probably more effective that the 2004 thread.

8. This is my 250th post

I'm legal now. If any of you underagers want me to post for them, forget it.

[elsiesummers]

9. One more thing

without either the newbies or the infrequent posters GD 2004 will no longer be representative of late momentum and surges by candidates.

GD 2004, however representative of candidate support it was in the past, it will have a bias toward the early adopters now and be less representative than it was - so can't be counted on for any accuracy of candidate momentum.

11. I'm close to 250, but

don't think I'll be goin' there, thanks

[bigwillq]

12. i'm not close

hoping I could add the posts on the DU longue and chat about pop culture stuff. I can't wait to get to the primary forum. Some good stuff in there. But i do agree the 250 rule encourages pointless posts.

13. Bump

is another count enhancer.

[GregorStocks]

14. Why would I want to post many posts?

[GregorStocks]

15. Posting is postical.

[GregorStocks]

16. Extremely postical.
