Posting monopolies

Laurelyn · 01-27-2002, 01:01 PM

Has anybody else noticed that if there aren't many people on the boards, and you're posting, you end up with a lot of posts down the list that were done by you? Just wondering. This happens to me a lot because I get up at 5 am (Michigan, U.S. time) and there's never really much of anyone on the boards then.

***Ben*** · 01-27-2002, 01:56 PM

Well, if you're the only one on, and post a lot, that should be pretty obvious

.

CardenIAntauraNauco · 01-27-2002, 01:59 PM

Ha... Agreed

Laurelyn · 01-27-2002, 02:19 PM

Yeah, okay. It is pretty obvious I guess.
I now feel like an idiot . . . .

galadriel88 · 01-27-2002, 03:18 PM

I get where you're coming from. It's OK, we all have our moments.....

Laurelyn · 01-27-2002, 03:25 PM

Ah, yep. We all have our moments . . .true . . . I still feel like a total idiot . . .

noldo · 01-28-2002, 07:16 AM

Okay, that was stupid.

ragamuffin92 · 01-28-2002, 11:02 AM

I know what you mean, tho, Laurelyn. It happened to me last night, and I wondered if people were looking at the list and thinking, "Man, I wish that guy would shut UP!"

Eowyn, The Lioness · 01-28-2002, 07:43 PM

which is exactly why I've been registered since Aug. and still am a Hobbit.

However,you've given me renewed sense of determination;I'm going out there and posting up a storm. YYEEEAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *gives loud battle cry as she runs screaming into the abyss that is Entmoot*...

not to say mind you that Entmoot is a BAD abyss, I just like using that word and it made that sentence seem a tad more dramatic and I'm just babbling on and on here and am probablt getting VERY annoying so I'll just shut up now....

ragamuffin92 · 01-28-2002, 07:50 PM

Re: ...she runs screaming into the abyss that is Entmoot*...
Wait!! You've forgotten your pocket handkerchief!!

Laurelyn · 01-28-2002, 11:02 PM

Yep, the, "I wish that guy would shut up" phenomenon is exactly what I mean.
*Hands Eowyn, the Lioness a pocket hankerchief* Good luck.

Renille · 01-29-2002, 12:05 AM

And there's no such thing as a stupid post, Laurelyn. Just...highly unintelligent ones.

(For example? Anything by me!)

Laurelyn · 01-29-2002, 07:02 AM

Most of my posts, Renille, are also . . . 'highly unintelligent.'

Arathorn · 01-29-2002, 11:46 AM

Hey Laurelyn, it happens and you sometimes can't stop posting even when no one's around.

I don't think it's stupid. I guess posters should just try to stick with the category topic.

BTW, happy birthday, "happy birthday" guy!

Renille · 01-29-2002, 11:40 PM

Your posts are cool, Laurelyn. Mine are insane and unintelligent.

Starr Polish · 01-31-2002, 08:48 PM

This happens to me a lot...I'm afraid I probably have a lot of people saying "SHUT UP STARR POLISH!"

Wayfarer · 01-31-2002, 09:44 PM

Yes.

FrodoFriend · 01-31-2002, 10:05 PM

Nah, Starr Polish, you're nothing compared to Wayfarer. Now there's a guy that needs to put a lid on it . . .

J/K.

I love you guys.
