If a member is from WI, the post count is typically lower that most other states. Are we introverted or autistic?

Meh, sometimes I shitpost just to shitpost. But I probably post in tech forums more than GD.

WI hometown is also less active than some other states. There are fewer WI members, and they tend to be less active than other states. For instance, you can't get Texans to shut up.

Yes, more WI and less TX could be a good thing. Damn Texans could use being knocked down a peg or two....

There was a mass exodus many years ago. Some have come back, but rarely post.

I've been here a member almost 19 years. I was a paid member for a long time, then things went sour with bans of people etc, a mod mistakenly called me out on something (later apologized), but I still said fuck that & the 'pay-to-play' shit, and let it lapse.
I have 5,745 total posts (before this one). 5,740 of them were not in GD. I want no part of that insanity. I don't even go there to lurk. The only time that forum graces the screen of my PC is when there's a link to it posted right here, to something I'm heavily interested in or something local... which occurs maybe 2 times per year. 95% of my posts have been right here...the other 5% in tech forums, mostly reloading & refinishing. eta: outdoors forums. |

I have a love/hate relationship with GD. Honestly, there isn't another place in the world that is better connected to current events. It is a great source for breaking news and in-depth information from local. We have 'boots-on-the-ground' in every corner of the country and somebody will always chime in with great intel.
On the other hand, it is. . . . well, GD. You you have to wade through so much shit that it would make Mike Rowe blush. |

I can't tell you the number of times that GD has broken news before the "mainstream media" with better in depth analysis. Of course now that everything is being increasingly censored by the MODs it's probably going to go to crap. |

Just noticed that I got my 15 year badge. Yay for that!
Combine that with my post count and GD...oh crap OP is talking about me. |

Quoted: The guy I bought my G19 from must have been one of them. I don't see him around at all anymore. Haven't for probably a decade. View Quote Hey man, you renewed your membership! I thought you had sworn that off - and I don't blame anybody who does so. I just love the green button & subscriptions. |

About 75% of my posts are in racing or space threads. I don't post much in GD.

I had, but with all of the craziness happening I needed access to information only available in team and politics forum. I rely on this site for news more than the msm. I'm glad I have had access to team over the last couple days. Hard to wrap my head around how fast things are happening. IM sent. |

Years ago, the WI HTF was the first place I'd hit on here. Then they changed the layout of the site and I wound up going to GD more often.
THAT is the reason I have the post count I do. Otherwise, I'd probably have under 2k posts. I guess I represent WI HTF, for better or worse! |

GD was great the first few years I was here. Too many people now and the quality has gone way down.

I work too damn much to post a lot. By the time I open a threat in gd I’d like to comment on 87 people already posted what I wanted to say. I work for a county highway department (fox valley) and drive semi hauling silage and manure on the side with 2 young boys to boot.
