Hello everyone, I am here to bring you a thread that is simply for discussion. It is addressing an issue I have been noticing around the forums recently, and the odd previous battles. The question I am posing to you is When do the forums get too competitive?
Now this varies from post battles, forum battles and even like battles. Recently I have noticed users around the forums trying to 'beat' someone to a certain post count- whether that be 1,000 posts or 100 posts. It serves no real purpose and is simply pointless, people post at the rate that they want to, do not try and make the forums somewhere to have races rather than posting opinions and creating discussions. Everyone is unique, and if you are one of those people that attempt to get to a post count before the other user does, you are ruining your experience on the forums. I'm not trying to steer anyone away or change how people post, I'd just like to address it as an issue.
Now something else I have noticed is people worrying about their following count. Sure, it may define how popular someone is but inevitably it means nothing. One of my fellow forum users has tried to do some sort of experiment in which he unfollowed everyone he was following and observed how they react. Surprisingly a small portion of people did react.
I can't stress enough that your like count, post count or follower count does not define you as a forumer. You do not need to achieve something a forum goal to be 'known'. There are a lot of great forumers that I have noticed recently, and I hope you guys persist at what you are doing and you will do very well.
Anyway, I just thought I'd pose this question to you and I am hoping to see a variety of opinions in the replies, this is not attacking anyone directly, I might add.
