    If people DO want to boost their post count, blame it on the 'classifications' as defined by post count, but on the whole, folk just want a bit of a giggle.....

          Yeah, but why would anyone want to? If one's self esteem is so low that your "rank" on a gardening forum is important to you then I would suggest that you need professional help.

          Me thinks the Troll is sleeping.

              It seems to me that some people here are determined to get to 1000 / 2000/5000/ 10000 posts quicker than everybody else . If thats what you want to do fine - it dosen't bother me - I don't know what my post count is and frankly I don't care.If you realy want a line below your name that says early/mature fruiter instead of whatever it is before that go ahead don't let me spoil your fun .
              Why do we even have post counts anyway - I'm sure it could be turned off . Then only those to which it means something would object. If you don't want to look at those "post boosting threads" don't.
              There comes a point in your life when you realize who matters, who never did, who won't anymore and who always will. Don't worry about people from your past, there's a reason why they didn't make it in your future.

                It don't bother me, it is all part of keeping the whole thing lighthearted, which is what is wrong with complaining about 'daft but harmless' threads. I've seen what happens on a forum where people take it too seriously, and I am VERY glad it happens so rarely here!

                    Erm, sorry, I'm missing the point probably, but what troll? I really like the count to a million thread in particular, it's good for dipping in and out, having a random conversation, keeping me sane at work, helping me chill when I get home.

                    Just like the rest of the Vine, really

                    Poll boosting hadn't occurred to me, why would the number of posts anyone has matter?

                          The count doesn't matter! Some threads are about information, and that is good, friendship is good too, and lots of it here, but anyone for whom ANYTHING else matters has slightly missed the point. Sure it is amusing to have different names for people according to how many posts, but it doesn't MATTER!

                                Hashette, sorry for using a confusing term, in some circles "Troll" is a term used for someone on a forum who is deliberately contentious or provokes arguments.
