You mean to have respect? It depends. JoeyBagaDonuts had over 500 posts before he was widely respected, but Banshee Barron was probably respected around 200 or so. The difference here was quality. JoeyBagaDonuts joined up and posted a lot of stuff that was stupid. No offence Joey. Banshee Barron, however, was always posting relevant stuff so he got respect very fast. Shatterstar climbed up quite quickly, because he was very mature, at times. It's not really a matter of posts, but of post quality. But don't let anyone tell you post quantity doesn't matter, because it does. The numbers don't matter, but if you only post once a month, no one will know who you are. Being in a chapter helps too. There are polls going on aboout people I don't even know, but are active in chapters. That's why I started posting in the Septagon, so I could get to know these people. Oh, one more thing. Make about 1000 posts in a day, and you'll no longer be a member. You'll be the most hated person here. You'll technically be less than a member though. [Edited on 4/15/2004 7:23:55 AM]
