Okay, congrats, but then, how many were actually quality posts, and not a "numbers bumper" like this one?

Congrats!

I've been meaning to ask, What's a housepig?

[SLK001]

A housepig? That's a dirty, nasty, slimy animal that lives in your house, drinks out of the toilet, eats out of the garbage can and craps in the corner. Basically, a highly undesireable thing to have around.

Then there is that highly intelligent poster that frequents DVDRHelp.COM!

Dont exaggerate

[housepig]

bwahh ha ha ha. SLK, you're as funny as tabasco on a leper.



i_am_dave:

"housepig" was a term that my wife learned when she spent time in Korea as a kid, it's a literal translation of a Korean term that wives use to refer to their husbands. (phonetically it's like jip de jee)

I was looking for an easy-to-remember web address that wasn't already taken, and housepig.com was available, so when I started signing up for messageboards and such, I decided to stick with housepig.

I think that this board should have a requirement that the post be at least 50 words (of 4 or more letters) before you get credit for a post. Therefore, posts like:

I agree...

Yeah...

Right on!

Cool!

Would not add to the poster's numbers.

Then we would be without the oneliners that many are famous for.

I don't see a need for a word minimum. What about here:

Baldrick: tgpo, I can answer your question, but I have to know, are you PC or Mac?

tgpo: Mac

It's under 4 letters and only 1 word.

Plus post count = nothing :P

Right... Plus post count = nothing.

I mean, what is the purpose of this board? For some posters to puff up their fragile egos by the number of posts that he (or she) has? The unabashed answer to this is NO!

But alas, there have even been posts with "...boost you post counts here..." (and started by who?) These things detract from the purpose of the board, and cost precious bandwidth.

Dude, that was a satire.
