Congrat's Azaniah, you finally got to 1000 ... but after reading your first post, I almost wet myself when I read :

Yeah, you don't want people chasing counts for status... it's all a bit lame..
The members on my forum have named it "post whoring", and some are pretty obvious when they are after a target (eg : they want to hit 1000 by the end of the month). They find it a little harder to do, because if they're posting rubbish (like some of the examples above  ) we dock them 5 posts (plus the 1 that they got by posting to begin with). They soon realise that a good forum is QUALITY not QUANTITY. |

| We don't allow simple one to two line posts on our forum. They have to be well thought out and not some junk like....yep, or ok, or just junk. I have a ways to go to hit 1k and I have been here since the Feb. 22nd of 2001. |

I guess thats the real hard thing about running a forum. The content.
Style is all well and good, but if the content isn't there people will lose interest rapidly.
Finding that unique topic, or subject that holds interest for a sustained time isn't that easy, (I've never managed it  ).
1000 posts since May 2001 - I must have had a serious spurt on at one point in time to do that. I wonder what code I wrote at that point. |

| I've never found it difficult to spark conversations to get content. Try playing devil's advocate from time and time against popular belief or rules and you'll find lots of participation which creates content. |
