I'm aiming for the 400 mark by the time i go to bed

Somehow I think you'll manage that.

I'm nearly there now, probably won't have time to go to the arcade today after all the time I've spent on here today - don't think I've done any work! Better change the four pieces of paper in front of me to something else or the boss might think I'm really slow.

There needs to be a maniacs anonymous for those who spend a little too much time on here

I know, good isn't it. Thanks for the help.

I can do mindless one liners easiy, it's the intelligent, long stuff I'm not good at. Can't spell or type fast or know anything useful about cars but I do enjoy reading (and laughing) at others posts. And I only post from work so I don't get to join in the night posts, must invest in a decent laptop as the OH would kill me if I hid away in the study at home when I should be spending quality time with her.

The point of the requirement is to encourage people to participate actively in the forum, the forum is the site, and the main purpose for being.

The arcade is a thanks to those that contribute and support the site, and a promotional tool.

Still sounds like a good job, better than accounts anyway!
Do you get to watch any adult stuff or is it all childrens programmes?

\It's a bit of everything (not much of it good)

See now you've gone and spoilt my fun by making me feel guilty.

Is posting in chatter not contributing and adding to the community of the site?

Yes, but it's off-topic. The 25 post limit is good - it encourages new users to participate in the forum activity.

This is a community, not a games website

Re: Arcade and post count??

Re: Arcade and post count??

Okay I think this is getting a little out of hand.

I have a Forfour, I would love to have a ForTwo but I need a bigger car.
I love my Smart, I have loved Smarts since before they were even released in this country. I love the whole ethos of the Smart community.

I do not know anything technical about Smarts (or any other car) I do not understand what Sam units are, what Mapping is or anything else technical that is talked about on here and seeing as I have a Forfour and have never owned (or been in) a Fortwo or Roadie I cannot contribute on these issues. As for Events and meetings, I have a partner who would not entertain the idea of joining in in that sort of thing (although she also loves Smarts, probably more than me) so I cannot contribute on those posts either.As for the photos I'm getting there on that one but seeing as I use my work computer to post I have to be careful about what I upload as I don't want to lose my job.
So the only area I can really contribute is in the Chatter forum, but I could post hundreds of times in here (I haven't, I'm not that talkative) and I wouldn't be consider worthy enough to join in the arcade (which would cut off another line of conversation) which really is off-topic.
You right, it's not a games forum and in all honesty I'm not that bothered about playing games (I can do that at home) I just wanted to be able to join in the fun and banter and contribute to this community.


Sorry, I've rambled and probably said it all wrong.

So then it isn't an issue

Re: Arcade and post count??

Oldship30 - enjoy the forum, I mainly post in community chatter as I am not that up modding. I have some technical knowledge mostly random facts and stats but I do try to chip in on some of the more technical threads. This the most community focused and I think busiest smart forum. For things on forfours I just refer people to forfourowner.com because there is more technical stuff there.
