Your Various Message Board Posting Stats

tennbengal · Post by **tennbengal** » Thu Oct 01, 2015 9:07 am

Where else do you post, and how many posts?

This is still my "home" board - and between the various editions, have well in excess of 15,000 or 20,000 posts I guess. Dunno.

Beyond the Swamp (BtS):

BengalsZone - 6651 (since 2005)
Go-Bengals Forum - 2717 (since 2007)
Bengals forum at Football Pros - 1821 (since 2014)
American Wx - 4821 posts (since 2009)
Redszone - 9587 posts (since 2004)
I think once upon a time I had about 1000 posts on a Grizzlies board but cannot find my old log-in for that site.

Never got into Reddit posting or the style of posting that became popular and used on SB Nation sites or Deadspin/Daily Kos (just don't like the threaded reply format).

Anyone else prolific elsewhere?

MGoBlog - More commenting on front page stories, a little bit on the boards recently.

Offshoot of bigsoccer - About a dozen folks that became Internet Friends over the years and used to hang out on an Off Topic forum. Got tired of a lot of the people that would interrupt good conversations, so one guy set up a private forum. Check in their daily and talk about all manner of things. I've been to weddings and on vacations with a handful of those people, consider all of them to be good friends.

That's it. I read and comment on Gawker sites occasionally, but that's very sporadic. I hate how they put people in "gray mode" until enough people star your comment.

This is the only place where I post. I gave up on the Bills site I used to grace with my expertise. Every reasoned posting was met by either "Go Bills" or "fuck you" or variations thereof.

Just here, and Swamp 4, and Swamp 3.1, and Swamp 2: Electric Boogaloo.

StillerNation - 15,678
Disqus account (various sites) - 3,978

Remember that time me and Sean and some other dudes trolled the Bengals Zone? You were so pissed!

The Sybian · Post by **The Sybian** » Thu Oct 01, 2015 9:27 am

This is the only board I've ever been active on, but have commented on various political website articles very infrequently. And almost always regret when I do respond to a comment.

Zman needs to stop commenting on political sites that use FB login for comments. I am usually tempted to read the comment he responds to, and the sites are some very hardcore wignut tinfoil hat sites.

I do indeed. That board is a shell of itself. I started posting more at Go-Bengals and now post there and the Pro Football board bengals site after a mini-split a year ago at Go-Bengals.

I found this board (well, Swamp 1.0) searching for "sports blogs" back in 2003, and I've never once posted anywhere else.

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Thu Oct 01, 2015 9:44 am

I have just over 2K on a La Salle basketball board. I was on a Rangers newspaper blog (comments under the articles) but some guy there has been releasing information about certain people (me included) and the moderator can't seem to stop it so I bailed. I used to post a lot on River Ave Blues (Yankees) before it got popular and overrun with dummies.

I have a couple hundred posts at Bobcatattack.com (Ohio Bobcats athletics site) and about a hundred at Slashdot.org, but otherwise, this is the only place I post.

Jerloma's note that I am much less Bengal zealot'y than back in the day is rooted, in large part, in my finding bengal boards to obsess on all things bengals and spare you all that level of obsession. Also, I have been beaten down. Until this year. Dalton has turned the corner. MVP campaign and Super Bowl win in-bound.

I think its closer to a dummy who thinks "ooo, this is good antagonism" versus something actually dangerous, but I'm not interested in finding out.

Post by **brian** » Thu Oct 01, 2015 11:19 am

I don't think I've posted on another message board in at least a couple of years, but have at various times posted on MGoBlog (usually to correct people who don't know shit about the MAC) and the Scout.com board for Central Michigan.

On very, very, very rare occasions will post a comment on Bless You Boys.

Samesies. Exactly the samesies.

I've been posting on the best NBA fan site, Clutchfans, since 1998. We had to reset once in 1999, so my number of posts since then is 48,211. I'm member 19 out of 51,952. Of course, 50,000 of those were psycho Jeremy Lin fans.

The Swamp is my favorite and my new internet home. Awwwww.

Moreta · Post by **Moreta** » Thu Oct 01, 2015 12:23 pm

Obviously I haven't be around here in a while, so my posting here is nonexistent. I've always been more of a lurker anyhow.

I post the most on a knitting related board. I'm pretty damn cool like that. I'm currently making my mom a shawl to wear to her Breeder's Cup party at the end of the month. Woohoo.

See, that's the kind of thing that fascinates me in terms of random internet things. A knitting board. What kind of topics are discussed with regard to knitting?

There's probably one person who posts to tell everyone else why they suck (at knitting, presumably).

Actually very little knitting and a whole lot of everything else. The site has millions of users; the board I spend most of my time on has almost 15,000. Actual Knitting Content gets flagged as such and usually revolves around fixing errors, fitting issues, yarn and pattern selection, and bragging about the amazing thing you made.

It takes more than that to get banned but it would definitely result in some memes starring Minnie Pearl or pearl necklaces (likely both types knowing that crowd) or some such thing.

OK, that surprises me.

bapo! · Post by **bapo!** » Thu Oct 01, 2015 6:44 pm

I made about a dozen posts on a hipster music board circa 2009. That's it. Posting on the larger sub-Reddits is just typing into the wind. Trying to worm my way into another place like the Swamp just seems like too much work. It was hard enough getting (somewhat) accepted here.

I am registered at a Pirates message board, but I've never posted there. The posters there are smart baseball fans, very numbers-oriented. But they're also the most miserable people in the world. It's been about 20 years since somebody has called me a f----t, and I don't want to break that streak just because I have the wrong opinion about a minor-league infielder.

As for this thread, I have a handful posts over at the Steelers board Jerloma and GPJ frequent, but that's it for anywhere other than various Swamps.
