Only like 200 more till I catch up you you Lizard, but I started back in 2004! You are a beast!
And I don't think anyone can catch up to Sovrath.

Well, technically, if you've ever made a post while you were at your job or place of work, then technically you were getting paid to post here.
So then yes.
The internet hasn't been about actual discussions for about a decade now.
Every forum, gaming or not, has turned into a I love it, I hate it argue fest. Every forum has a ton of users that go nuts at any tease, any hype and just go nuts with it.
Go read the forum or article comments on anything that deals with politics. If the story is about something related to Democrats then Republicans will make comments trashing democrats without even reading the article. If the story is about Republicans the Democrats will do the same thing. Look at a tech forum when a new Apple product is announced. The fanboys go insane talking about how it will be the next greatest thing on Earth. The haters go on rants about how much Apple sucks.
People don't discuss things anymore and people don't sit back and critically look at teasers/early info. Instead everyone yells at everyone else and everyone takes a tiny tease and turns it into the most amazing or the most horrible thing ever.
I'm pretty sure every thread created in the LFG subforum is from a paid forum user.
They describe the game they want someone to say and then regular or other paid users fill in the answer they were after.

lol tell that to my girlfriend.
One Friday evening we are sitting on the couch, I'm on her laptop and I'm just making a last post before we commence with "date night". She just happened to look over my shoulder and see my post count. She then asked "are those really all your posts?" all the while assuming her best "marge simpson" face.
needless to say I had to think fast and deflect the conversation. "Hey let's go out to dinner on me!"
I'm so smooth!

I wouldn't doubt that some companies are responsible for their own hype, Sony with EQN especially.
They need to be paying all of us, for the constant crowdsourcing and consumer anaylsis they recieve daily from sites like this one and many more.
WE.. THE PEOPLE have more control over our gaming habbits than we realize. Speak with your wallets and your voices will be heard.
As for paid posters, OH yea.. most definately there are some folks around here that show up with their first post totally praising some game, but over my shorter time here (not including lurking) I've seen a steady increase in calling these types of folks out..
Their jutsu is weak as we as a whole; have begun to see through their shills and proxies more easily.
PM before you report at least or you could just block.
Some maybe. Others are what I did once. I was tired of the MMOs that were out and I wanted to make sure I hadn't missed something that would be fun and allow me to kill some time now and then. So I posted the stuff I was looking for. In that case, as I expected, no one had anything that really fit what I wanted so I continued on not playing anything.
I will give you one WeaselBuck for every post henceforth.
There's only one way to find out for sure...the MacReady way...
Yup. Couldn't possibly by people actually getting excited over something and wanting to post on it.
Totally has to be a conspiracy. No other possible choice. 0.o
Just like all the CU banners during the kickstarter. The banners were supplied for free from the main CU site and posters simply threw it in their sig ... but tons here freaked the fuck out thinking they were paid posters.
The idiocy is deep ... Grab your gumboots!!
You stay sassy!
when there is money involved there is greed.
