I just realized something
« on: June 27, 2012, 06:05:10 pm »

Just wanted to say. I just realized that the dwarf fortress community is fairly large. I don't see many different people posting though. Thats all.

Yeah. The upper forums are mostly lurkers and a few people with thousands of posts. Most people come down to the other forums after a while.

e: Do you mean the DF forums themselves or the forum as a whole?

Uh, yeah. There's thousands and thousands of people who only posted once, and then there are the people with 10000+ posts, or in the case of ToonyMan, 20000+.

Don't think of it as being besieged by thralls/husks, think of it as having your own personal moat of life hating mutilated menaces

Now wall yourself in quickly

Holy crap, why did I not start watching One Punch Man earlier? This is the best thing.

I find it stranger that an absolute majority of the accounts on this forum have 0 posts.  Adbots I guess?

Sleeper adbots. One day a fat, lonely hacker will activate them all, causing a hilariously dense adbot explosion like that one a while back.

More like never posted. Around 60+% of people never post. A lot are spam bots that have issues for some reason. But even so I find the number of people who signed up and never posted odd.

He stopped posting a lot a while back.

That, or lurkers. They wait in the shadows, watching our every post. Just biding their time, until it's right to ask a dumb question about the usefulness of silver hammers.

Having an account let's you keep track of read posts, so I imagine it'd be good for the really dedicated lurkers.

What's really weird is being here twice as long as someone and having half the posts.

Or, in my case, more than twice and a quarter. :P

I find it kinda weird how, despite my sabbaticals, I'm still up at 41st (and curse this thread for making go and check the listings again) in count.

I dunno, this has always been where I've hung out, although my early posts still embarrass the holy hell out of me. And early goes back just about to last week, I think. Of course, in the coming days, I've got a feeling that I wouldn't look fondly on this post either . . .

Crap.

I remember everyone thought you and realm were the same person for quite some time.
