Do posters pay more attention to volume posters?

[thirstyboots18]

One of the strengths of the CelticsBlog is the continued support and activity of the posters...all of the posters...but it is the prolific posters who seem to study the Celtics and the game and the Celtics more closely and who are not afraid to put their opinions on the line.  I speak for myself in thanking them for their facts and opinions.

As far as those volume posters getting more attention, there is a solution.  Write more yourself.  Become known to others who are interested in the subject.  Write funny, or studied, or intelligent or opinionated posts for others to agree, laugh, or argue with.  Make an effort not to be imperious or insulting, realizing that others may not share your opinion, or be interested, in the subject you are posting about.  

This is just my opinion.

Well this thread has kept  me off twitter for like two hours, now I got a whole lot of catching up to do.

Thanks a lot (said angrily)

I usually pay more attention to my posts, they're awesome.

WRONG THREAD!

[Evantime34]

Just saw this thread and didn't read the whole thing. I think posters will pay more attention to people who have a good reputation. If one guy has posted a ton but I think all of his posts are awful I won't pay attention.

TP to anybody clever enough to solve the Gordian Knot of what everyone agrees is either a non-existent or unfixable problem.

I got you playa:

Stop talking about me like I'm not here Evantime.

And the winner of highest volume poster to not be responded to issss........drum roll.....Roy Hobbs for his Things that Crack you up thread, which featured Barney rapping.

Tied with Roy issssssss Roy!   For his Bob Cousy thread on Jan 21, 2009 in Celtics History


Also notable were 5 different threads on the same night by Dons with 0 responses.


Come on down here guys.   Speech!  Speech!

How'd you do it guys?  Did it take lots of work?   What thread that bombs will you come up with next?  

So if "volume poster" becomes part of the CB vernacular, will it be a compliment or an insult? 

I'm sure a mod will tell me I'm using it wrong either way...JOKING! I'm joking.

[Weird Facts]

I just view CELTICSBLOG as a fun place to discuss rumors or possibilities along with vent about annoying calls / players etc.

I had no idea people were actually jealous of other posters or that people used this site to get attention. 

I enjoy remaining anonymous on this site- its a creative outlet for sports fans.

Are there people on here - that constantly check their posts afterward to see what people say?

 on second thought don't bother wasting your time answering that because chances are- I won't check to see if anyone responded to this anyway.

I guess that's the beauty of a blog

Don't know if there is jealousy as much as there is misunderstanding around these parts of the Internetz. But I think we dealt with that a long time ago (when Original Tommy Point Gate occurred)
Get attention? I don't think so. You can be more or less involved here. It is what it is, ese.

Yeah, just following on this general idea without reading all 22 pages of what has preceded it:  The more you interact with people on CB the more you get to know certain posters and their personality and what they (tend to) post about.

Do I pay more attention to people who have more posts?  On average, yes, but its not because they have more posts per se, its because I know them.  When scrolling through topics with lots of responses (like this one) I don't have time to read every one of them.  Instead I stop and skim a few of people I know (well, I guess I should write "know").  As just one example, that's why I'm responding to thirstyboots...

 

but it could just as easily have been ACF...

^and on that point I completely agree.  There are times when I find myself taking self-imposed "time outs".  eg: after the Cs lost the finals last summer.  ugh. bad memory. shouldn't have brought it up. ok, back to tonights game...

Well, when I see the word Volume, I think of this guy:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwsbJa9QyKo&feature=related

He was labeled a volume shooter...loved the guy. Not perfect by any stretch. But he earned the right to be a Celtic and a Leader of the team.

He was frustrating to watch at times, too. There were a few times that I wished he was shipped out of town, back in the day.

But I'm glad he was a Celtic. Nothing wrong with volume people.

Who's that Celtic behind Walker?
