Maybe, 'attention seeker' is not quite the right phrase but it's better than, 'Look at me, Look at me'!!
Awww, thankyou Art. May I say that you post some really great threads, especially on General Chat. We need people who regularly post threads to keep us entertained, and you certainly do that. Keep it up!

Re: Are Prolific Posters On Forums, Just Attention Seekers?

I'm not sure that prolific posters are seeking attention, at least I would hope not. I think that some people tend to be somewhat lonesome, not surrounded by family, or a bit aged and not as apt to be "out and around". For these folks, a forum can become their family and serve as their main communication outlet on a daily basis.

Of course there'll always be people around who talk just to hear themselves speak and there are bitter people who thrive on posting and responding to nasty, controversial threads. Most of these folks will never appear on a pleasant, good-natured, thread??

Takes all kinds I would guess.

Just post and sod the repercussions. If you overdo it the mods will sort it out. Apart from that post for whatever reason. Life is too short to hold back all of the time.

Re: Are Prolific Posters On Forums, Just Attention Seekers?

I will say one more thing and that is certain people are prolific posters but they shouldn't be as they have nothing to type worth reading. I could post a list if you want?
