Hey guys,

I am not new to Gamespot, but what I have been noticing is that a lot of posters along my level here have many more posts here. I see posts in the thousands more often. How do you guys post so much? I am not calling anyone one ( after all I am a level 26 on a geeky gamespot), but I would like to know how you guys rack up your high post counts. Just a question, no judging here.

I bet a lot of it has to do with OT and Roll Call. I see people have conversations in there with multiple people, so I assume the posts just rack up after a short while.

Then there's other people who just post in a variety of forums quite often I guess.

I'm in the same boat as you kinda. I just don't really feel like typing a response that much. Most of the time I would rather just see what other people have to say.

Post in every thread that you have an answer to, post a follow-up reply to anyone that quotes your post, and come to the forum often.

Damn dirty lurker! :P Seriously though, just being active. Giving your opinion a lot in those OT threads. I used to lurk a lot more, but have been posting a bit more now instead of just lurking. :P

Oh, you're right. But I'm just asking. Its a general look at the users of gamespot. Some have high post counts but others don't. Nonetheless, its intresting to see how and why other users got other counts. :)

I spend a lot of time (almost too much time) posting in OT during the week. It's nice to pass time with people here, get some discussions going, just enjoying stuff.

Getting into an RC conversation can rack up your posts by the 100's.

Yeah...I've been on here for multiple years but I have just reached 500 posts. I guess I just like to browse threads and boards. Also, you see people posting in threads and they are clearly there to rack up posts, as their post doesn't offer anything to the thread.

Meh, I've been here since Jan 3, '06 and I think this post count isn't too freaky. In fact, its been stuck in the 13k mark for almost half a year.

Pretty much. If you have something to say, say it, and you'll have 60,000 posts in no time!

I don't get how there can be that much variance between levels and posts, it's not like you can really earn a ton more for doing other stuff on the side besides posting in the forums.

This is my understanding, and it's not based on research, but just listening. I think there's a % cap on how much "experience" you can gain towards a level on any given day (percentage caps vary by level), and you can earn those by posting, or viewing videos, or rating games, or reading news, or whatever.

There is a set amount you will level each day. Once you max that you stop leveling that day....but you can make lots of posts.

This.. Well often a mix of this. Discuss in OT and you can often have more than one person responding to something you say. Then you have more than one person you might respond to, and that way you're posting more. We also have the RC were you can chat about anything (assuming it is within the ToU boundaries). Also posting in more than one board also helps a lot if you want to rack up your post count. Something I have experienced :P

I don't have many here, but on Gametrailers I have over 10,000. I got that many simply from just making jokes in General Discussion, talking to my internet buddies on General Discussion, and talking about music in the Media section.

Just post in all the topics you can give a comment to. There's also unions, and Roll Call of course. Well, half of my post count is from Roll Call. Hey, there are people who have a higher post count than me and has the same level. Just keep posting. :D

The Spam Call topics as I call them joking around is by far the best way to get a crap load on the weekends
