I have known a lot of people in my life that just talk to hear their own voice. I am sure that you all know people like this as well. I am usually pretty patient around them in real life, but for some reason it bugs me when they do the same thing online. Most people call it “post whoring” insinuating that they are just trying to increase their post count, but I don’t think this is the case. Post whoring serves no purpose in general since post counts aren’t very important in most places, especially here. Having a higher post count is worthless because it doesn’t get you anything extra other than attention from the mods and the regulars and if your posts are not quality posts, the attention that you get is probably not what you intended.
I think that people just want to be heard so badly that they feel to need to reply to everything that they see with “I agree” or “hah” or the like. Listen, this is not myspace. This is not your personal blog…ok, this actually is MY personal blog, but it is not yours so STFU! Look, if you are reading this, think about whether the description applies to you. If you think that I am talking to you, then I probably am and I probably think that you are a total fucktard. Stop posting and GTFO the internet.
