No, you don't. If you do feel compelled to respond perhaps you should try something informative, amusing or diverting in your posts, rather than obvious spam material you currently are using.

I don't expect any reply to this post, I don't want any reply, and if you do reply it is not because you are in any way required to do so.

Indeed. Quite the opposite, in many cases. I used to have a lot of respect for Trip, back when his PC was lower. But now...

(Not that I should be speaking, I'm not much lower than Trip on the top spammers list But at least it took me a bit longer to get there...)

Not quite...

I've done a lot of stuff with Civ 3 Democracy Games, so if you haven't stopped by there you may not have heard of me.

You can see the bio that DC did of me here. Thanks to him for that.

I don't really care what people think of me, though it's fun to annoy people. I really don't care about my post count either, it's just a good way to get my name out. Especially since people like Frozzy seem to be so worried about it.

I never called myself the Second Coming of Mao. Kass gave me the name in the chatroom a few weeks ago, and I had to pay him homage.

C'mon obiwan, you know I was just kidding. The only reason I'm here at 'Poly is because I have a lot of fun with the Demo Games. There are others who have a higher post-per-day count than myself, and I never see any of them taking any flak.

Because you registered when OT post's did count, and you have now over 500 post's.
Sometimes I just feel that I simply can't spam, since I've been here for 2 years and still have under 300 post's.

True, this OT-spam is getting ridiculous... it's so sad that it must be stated in a separate post before people will understand that it should stop.

Just wondering, before this list, how many people on the list had you never heard of or seen post?

I had never seen any posts of Willems and had no idea who Henrik was although I had heard that he existed... but that's about it... knwoing 118/120 is fairly good I suppose!

of the top 100, i don't know 13 of them. but i don't feel so bad since all the new one's on the list must be civ3 people, and the others were huge losers, so they probably don't post here anymore, and if they were in the OTF I'd have seen them by now.

Although I love high post counts, etc. I do have to agree that Trip is really spamming here; although many of his posts are useful.
Then again, perhaps I am looking forward to him receiving a PCR as it will allow me to keep a better hold in the top 20 than my current situation merits.

Post counts, I consider, are the greatest thing to happen to forums.

I don't like posting at forums where I don't think I am accomplishing anything and post coutns are one way to seem as though you are accomplishing something.

And I get more Posts for responding to these things

I think that posts are the most important thing on these boards- if posts ceased to matter, I would probably gradually disappear (much as I have in the OT since PC no longer counted)
I constantly check my post count and compare it to others.
