Before the introduction of all the smut games, reaching milestones of posts meant that a significant contribution to forum was made by the poster.

It was a real achievement and quite noteworthy to get 1000 posts.

To an avid player of smut games, 1000 posts can be quickly achieved whereas a poster who starts threads and joins in discussions will take forever to amass such a tally.

The person playing smut games is having fun and that is great to see.

It does seem that reaching a land mark figure of 1000, 2000 or so on posts is not as noteworthy in some cases as others.

i know it is not a matter of any importance and it is good that people enjoy pixies in any way they wish but I believe that the real achievements are made in quality rather than quantity.

These are just my thoughts after seeing a rash of milestones reached recently asnd thinking to myself, is this really a noteworthy achievement.

I do not intend to cause offence to anyone by pondering over this but was just making a personal observation

LOL...quality is very subjective, as is rudeness. Glad you feel comfortable expressing yourself. Hopefully everyone else still feels as comfortable.

I belong to a few boards where the off topic posts are not counted specifically for the reasons that Grumble elluded to in his post. Of course, in those cases there were actually people there that went out of their way to elevate their status solely through random posting. As if your post count meant you were better than someone else. Fortunately at Pixies the post counts do not seem to matter as much as the content of the material posted by the individuals. It is pretty obvious from reading just a few posts those that are truly part of the community and those that are not.

If someone finds enjoyment from reaching a milestone with posts... good. That means Pixies is a positive thing for them and in that we should be glad. Let the individual decide how much their achievements are worth. Even in smut games people learn about one another and form relationships, so who gets to judge who has posts that are worthy and who does not.

Well, my thoughts are this....

People come here to have fun and if that involves posting celebratory threads, then so be it....no skin off my ass.

BIBI are you trying to turn me on with this sexy talk of skinned ass?

I saw a lady in a convertible the other day with plates that said BIBI...I checked to see if it was you

LOL. I respect people because of their posts in the more serious forums ~ you get a feel for convictions, controversies, and problems. I've been known to post a serious thred or two in my time....

But....I've made me closest Pixie friends in Smut Games. You get a chance to know someone, share a laugh, and share the little "intimate" details that make up a friendship.

I find the combination of both -- fun stuff and serious stuff -- the most wonderful part of Pixies.

I was posting my musings not having a shot at anybody.

To that end I thought that I had made that clear.

Certainly being rude to anyone was not my motive and I am sorry if I upset anyone especially Tingling Tess who I think is a a worthy Pixie.

Anyway why let Irish be getting the blame for the controversy all the time.
