Didn't we just celebrate for you a couple of days ago? You are on a torrid pace. Are you using a corked computer?

cookies_n_mavs · 07-09-2003, 03:27 PM

Oh my gosh.

Didn't we just celebrate you 1000 posts ago a few days ago? DANG!

No kidding - she has been posting like crazy lately.

Come on in, don't sit out of the pool. The water is nice in here. (most of the time [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img])

ames7 · 07-09-2003, 09:22 PM

Platinum?? ALREADY?!? Holy... Well, congrats Mandy, that's absurdly amazing. [img]i/expressions/wine.gif[/img] Here's to Guru before the week's out.

southern_sweets · 07-09-2003, 09:26 PM

Way to go Mandy!

MavsFanFinley · 07-09-2003, 10:10 PM

Way to go Mandy.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone post as fast and as much as you have in such a short span.

You'll be passing me for guru soon.

Evilmav2 · 07-09-2003, 10:32 PM

Congratulations[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Drbio · 07-09-2003, 10:33 PM

Holy crap that was fast.

Mandyahl · 07-09-2003, 10:39 PM

thanks for the congrats, everyone. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

however, my posting is going to be slowing down drastically because it has been pointed out to me that post padding means i lose people's respect, which is necessary to have in order to be listened to in the general mavs section.

as much fun as i have had racing to platinum, i would rather be able to talk mavericks and be listened to, as this is why i came to the board to begin with.

i just hope that i haven't killed my hopes for ever being respected by posting so much in the last month and a half.

again, it has been fun, and thanks to all of the people that played the post padding games with me. we had some good times.

I can't imagine that what you do in the lounge section affects your respectability in the Mavs section.

Mandyahl · 07-09-2003, 11:22 PM

i can't tell if you are being sarcastic, but i will assume you are not.

what i have been told is that post padding, which i obviously have been doing a lot of, is not good for your overall respectability.

again, i just want to be respected so that people will listen to what i have to say and so that i can take part in good conversations about the mavs. if that means i can't post pad, then i won't (too much [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]). i have been told (unless i am interpreting incorrectly) that i should cut down on the post padding in the lounge.

one long blue sock · 07-09-2003, 11:26 PM

51 posts per day is a pretty good acomplishment.

I'm only at 1 a day.

I've never looked at it that way. There are good posters who rarely post anywhere other than the Mavs or NBA section (kg_veteran and hoopsmeister come to mind) and I respect their opinion. But if they had 20K posts in the lounge, I would STILL respect their opinion in the Mavs and NBA section. Post padding is a silly term anyway - what bonus do you get for having a thousand or ten thousand posts. Guru sound nice but that doesn't mean that you know more than anyone else - it just means that you post your opinion more often. Now I will admit that that the more times you post, the greater the chance of saying something idiotic and "ruining" your reputation.

I look at the lounge as a place to goof off while I'm waiting on someone to post something of interest in the sports sections.

one long blue sock · 07-10-2003, 12:09 AM

Amen

Mandyahl · 07-10-2003, 12:13 AM

that's how i look at it, too, mffl. i am here a lot, and when not much is happening on the other parts of the board, i post here to pass time.

i am glad that you will respect people's opinions regardless of whether they post pad, but i am under the impression that others will not. maybe i am interpreting things that have been said to me completely incorrectly, but that is what i have gotten out of them.

again, i am just trying to earn respect on this forum, and i am not exactly sure how to go about it since there is already a hierarchy in place. your input is appreciated.

one long blue sock · 07-10-2003, 12:25 AM

I world loves you Mandy, and so do i[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Mandyahl · 07-10-2003, 12:26 AM

F' the respect.

Ummmmm Ok · 07-10-2003, 08:34 AM

Mandy you will lose more respect for changing who you are.

Keep doing what you are doing and like MFF said.

u2sarajevo · 07-10-2003, 08:44 AM

I love you Mandy. (in a completely non-sexual, friend type love way). Please don't stop goofing off with us in the Lounge.

I will be sad. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]
