The worst part is that I clicked twice before I figured out what you meant.

Do I care about vg$?
I care about the database & the amount of vg$ shows the passion I invest.

I rarely go into the off-topic sections, and rarely make threads (and most of my threads usually fail)

I kind of care about the VG$, but not enough to spam things like "say something about poster above" etc type threads.

I really find it odd with all the threads in the OT (perfect acronym. The on-topic forum) forum that are essentially "increase your post count" threads. When asked why they made it, the creators of the beforementioned thread oftenly say that they did it to get VG$.

Honestly, I don't get this.

If I had 9000 posts, but knew that half of them were from meaningless spam, that would be rather depressing.

So I'm wondering...

1) Do you actually find any interest in threads like this? http://vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=65301

1b (if yes): Why?

2) Do you care about having a high post count/lots of fantastic, wonderful VG$?

3) Was this thread created purely to gain more VG$?

4) Will you add a humourous comment here, to make this competely retarded thread a bit worse?

#1. Nope. I think they are a waste of forum space to be honest.

#2. High posts count is cool sometimes, but it is the quality of your posts that matter, not the quantity. Not to say you can't have fun once in a while.

#3. Yes. You are a VG$ lover and you made this thread in an attempt to score some cash.

#4. You don't deserve my "humourous comment that will make this completely retarded thread even worse".

iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.
