Get 1,000 and then we'll talk...

Sorry @Noggleton, this Sir Antony goes first.
Why do people on the Internet value post counts so much? How are they a positive sign? Really, the only thing they should is how much time you spent on this site. Not to say that spending time on this site is inherently negative but it's not positive either. Really it's not just posts; We are constantly fighting to increase some arbitrary number wither it's posts, k/d ratio, exp points in a video game... We are putting a very high emphasis on meaningless states.
In my opinion, this phenomenon is very dangerous. People might end up wasting too much of their time on these insignificant things. Though really, at this point it's not a question of "might"at this point. Everyone at this point can find examples of people who spend all of their time playing video games and living at their parents house when they are 40.
Though this problem isn't exclusive to gamers, I see ordinary people obsessed with the amount of likes they get on a post on Facebook and they too spend a great deal of their time on things that are completely unimportant and are designed to waste their time and shove ads in their face.

People like measuring things dude. Don't you measure your weiner?
the size of your dick impacts your sexual performance while random internet stats don't really impact anything. Maybe they will earn you the respect of a few like-minded losers but who value these type of things but who wants that anyway? To be fair though, men's obsession with their penis size isn't exactly rational since different women have different taste in dick. Some women are in to small cocks while some are in to ones that look like a large Pringles can.

Goddamnit, we could've sacrificed you if you had 666 posts

This has always been a thing, are you really telling me musicians, scientists and other people didn't use to obsess about these "arbitrary stats"? before? I mean, it's a competitive thing. It is, like you said, an indicator of how much time and effort you've spent on something and EXP in games often indicates skill at them (and they are a hobby).

Achievements in the field of music and science are more valuable then stats on the Internet/video games. I thought that was obvious...

Point is, most obsessions aren't healthy, and you shouldn't be that guy. You know the one. The "video games and everything on the internet is useless" guy. It can be a hobby and a passion. Only different from sports by the amount of actual physical activity, though it isn't always easy on the internet either. In particular, there are people who do reviews every day here on NG. Those things mean something. Posts can mean something too. They can be political debates or helping others. So don't go judging everyone whose interests are different from yours because you don't understand them. I mean, there certainly are people who take these things too far, who narcissistically obsess over Twitter followers (even though most social media followers are literally gonna be liking a single post from you and then not caring about you for the rest of the time). The people who think a single stat is the most important thing in the world and who actively avoid interaction with other living beings and leech off their parents and other people (like your basement gamers). But that doesn't mean all internet stats are pointless.

If you are in to e-sports or writing reviews that's one thing but that's not the case with most people who just do it to waste time. Though it's not an equal comparison because while something like a k/d ratio can indicate skill, posts count are meaningless. you can make 10,000 posts and they can all be drivel...

I remember being on a forum where they really put an emphasis on the importance of post count, always a whiff of elitism in the air. Then again, that forum had people on there without a dash of self respect, so that's a key difference already.
Probably a significant factor as to why forums died as quick as they died, besides the fact that instant messaging is more convenient, etc.

I remember caring about having alot of post. It was a competitive thing i used to do with some of the older users. Good times.

Here since 2004 and still not more posts. I don't think you're in any position to lecture.
