F_M_N_T Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 What is SO great about having the first post? I notice this alot on nexopia, and a skiing site i go to. I guess there is just something special about being the first person to post in something big? :-s Its especially funny when numerous people are online when the story first comes out and 6 people say first post and make a fool out of themselves.

Uldric Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 It really pisses me off. Do they not get enough attention irl and have to post something that contributes absolutely nothing to the topic? I see it *alot* with the WoW forums, especially if a WoW developer posts, thus making it a 'legendary' thread and the first page is usually: "first page of legendary thread :)" :wall: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indy500fan Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I never see any posts here that say "First Post." I don't know if I've ever saw one, even going back to the Scapeboard days. I don't go out of my saftey zone of OT and M&M very often, maybe that's why I don't see them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caligula101 Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Yes it's highly irritating, though I must say I see it more on the Runescape related forums than I do in the Off-Topic one. Maybe it's because the person that gets first post gets the most attention or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLancer Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 It really pisses me off.

I see it *alot* with the WoW forums, especially if a WoW developer posts, thus making it a 'legendary' thread and the first page is usually: "first page of legendary thread :)" :wall: Omg, thanks for reminding me why I quit reading the WoW forums while I still played the game. That's so annoying. Who the hell cares you're "posting on a legendary thread"? Does it get you social status you were online while the post was new and you got on the first page? If you have something to say, say it. But reading 3 pages of comments that are "Hi, posting on a legendary thread" is rubbish. It makes you look dumb. I wish Merc moderated the wow forums.

Ragen Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I remember when I started it happened a lot. Really annoyed me. I don't ever remember it happening in OT though.

runescapeloser22 Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 i know this is the off-topic forum, but it has to do with the subject of the thread (its sorta about runescape) i think those "First Post" things extremely irritating and disrespectful, when Andrew (creator of runescape) made a post on here, some guy (forget who) typed "will edit l8er, jus twant firs tpost" (and with those typos), i mean thats extremely disrespectful :shame: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want your name near and associated with the topic creators name. And if the person is respected than you hope in turn to also be respected.

i7utchd3v1l Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 i think people who make 'first post OMGH11!!!111' want to be dead.. because..they try to get 'first post' everytime..and they know other people think its annoying.. and if you got enough people who think you are annoying.. there might be one who thinks youre sooooooo annoying..that he/she/shim wants you dead. so maybe he or she..or shemale will search for you and kill you.. then youre plan to get killed..is completed =D> anyone agree? 8-) R E T I R E D 4 E V E R B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It usually is the first post that the person says first post in. Like on blogs, you can comment, and the first post is the first post. Same thing on Fark. See it on Jinx also.

I'm not talking about what the forum counts it as. On forums the first post is the topic opener, in this case it would be F_M_N_T's post. If someone posted "first post", it would actually be the second post. That, is what we both said. But I said I've never seen someone post "first post" on forums before. I've only seen it in places where the first post actually is the first post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
