Are Prolific Posters On Forums, Just Attention Seekers?

If someone posts a lot on forums, do they do it to seek attention?
Many of us post a lot, so we could actually be, 'attention seekers'!
Or, could we argue, we post a lot because we enjoy the banter and participating in the various topics!

What do you think.. Are prolific posters, just attention seekers?

YES ... lol ... go away

I AM saying this tongue-in-cheek


ALTHOUGH .... I could be joking



Please, everyone, take note.
I enjoy the odd bit of cheery banter but dislike most of the smut and if I post anything serious I endeavour to be concise.

Furthermore, I respect those who act in similar manner.
All the bickering, as I have said many times before, is pointless and a complete turn off.

Most of those 'epic' posts are a waste of space and not worthy of consideration.

Probably.
Those who appear to know more, better or think they're funnier than the rest possibly are.
The rest of us are just filling in the spaces.

I guess most of us like a bit of attention from time to time and if by enabling people to post on here we can meet that need that's fine

Prolific posters are just that aren't they?
Prolific.

They want to socialise ... many forums would struggle without them.

I agree Morty. I see a forum as a less serious, online debating society... so how boring would it be be if nobody said anything.

For those,who don't enjoy reading all the comments, there is no compulsion to do so.

Variety is what keeps a forum alive, something for everyone to delve into, we have that here,and it is not hard to avoid topics or members on this site.

Sometimes out of devilment i have put up threads with a single title and no explanation.it gives me a laugh to see where you all take it. Shows an active minded membership.

I agree with Mort.
And to be honest, I think that is a little bit unkind.

Who is to judge what is 'prolific'?
Who is to say how many posts are acceptable?
What harm does it do to anyone?
It is easy enough to avoid someone's posts, you don't have to read them.

I post quite a lot, as you know.
Some might like to think I am an attention seeker because of that. Nothing I can do about that, and neither will it make any difference to me.

I post simply because I am old gas bag. Same in real life.
My ex husband used to say "Don't you ever stop talking." (Bless him, we're still friends to this day though).

If I wasn't able to get out, I often wouldn't see or speak to another soul for days.
I enjoy this forum and very much enjoy the friends I have made here.
No ulterior motive and no attention seeking intended whatsoever.

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

Yes...I am.....I crave attention...I cannot live without it.
All I want is attention.....attention....attention.

And if I don't get it I go shopping....NAKED.

That makes up for the lack of attention I may experience during the day...I'm addicted.

So it was you I saw streaking through the market this morning, was it, protecting your modesty with a bunch of bananas? I should have known!
