I think there’s only one ticket for each raffle, but there are three monthly cycles. And you have at least 5 posts out of this little meme.

Kozlok · 10-02-2019, 06:01 PM

Same.

(just a joke...)

I made 20 posts today, trying to be genuine and contribute. I have been a regular (daily) forum reader/visitor for a long time but in over 4 years since I registered an account I have a grand total of 130 posts. Been trying over the past few months to shift into more active participation. I guess for folks like me the incentive of the contest is a good thing.

Same boat here. 10+ years off and on, reading and researching but not much posting.

But look at me now!

there could be a rule that posts which just complain about the contest should not be counted toward the contest

that might reduce the numbers of posts ?

There's no useless posts only useless posters or something.

Gotcha master. Call me Grasshopper.

I was going to start a meaningless posts thread but decided that would be taking the ****! I think there has been an increase in actual dialogue though this type of compy will always get lots of one word posts. What I would like to know is how does Adam or the forum benefit from a high post count? There must be something in it or else there would be no point

and we are all about PF benefiting

An informative post? At competition time? Shame on you! Actually, I had overlooked the bit about posting in the raffle thread so thanks for that

I can't help myself

I might try to be helpful to members

even if there is no contest

I can tell the core integrity of PF will outlast the "flurry of useless posts"...

...by the consistently thoughtful engagement of core membership.
