Brings back memories when I was in the Navy and in the Norfolk, Va area they had signs on the lawns "No dogs or sailors on the lawn".

This is an interesting thread because I'm one of the ones who almost lived and breathed SRP for a few years, got distracted by work, health, money (lack of) and other events, and have left and come back at least twice--never "butt-hurt".
The interesting part for me is that the only time I've ever checked post counts was when reading "advice" or seeking help. I tend to listen more to people who have real knowledge based on experience and are willing to share it. I've only met one SRPer in person, but feel like I "know" a whole bunch and can tell the difference.
I'm on multiple forums for my other hobby (handguns), and note there are people with high counts that say the same thing to every new member. "Hi from XXXXX" or "rack the slide 100 times before your first range trip" are my two favorites there. I immediately start ignoring them.
So, in most substantive ways, post count is immaterial to me. I'm still just trying to learn from the really knowledgeable, admire people who do things I can't do, and help the occasional lost newbie ignore "chatter" and get a useful answer to their question/dilemma. Sometimes I do that in a PM.Just call me Harold

I agree with you David. Post count doesnt mean much. It does mean someone like to hangout and comment a lot. Are the comments quality? Did the comments help someone? Or were the comments just from what the person has read others saying?
I will say in my start of SRP, i got a lot of posts quickly because i asked a lot of questions and wanted comments from different people so i asked the same thing in a couple ways to get the different answers. Thank goodness for the ability to PM. Because if those were counted too, id be the top poster for sure!It's just Sharpening, right?

There are three factors at play. Post Count, Join Date and a sample of the members posts.
That combo will tell you everything you want to know about that member. Really the last factor is the most revealing.No matter how many men you kill you can't kill your successor-Emperor Nero
