OK, so one of the "Mine's bigger than yours" metrics around here is post count.  Mine's a reasonably respectable 5987, which shows that yeah, I've been here and done that, but not so many that I labelled as "living in momma's basement posting on ARFCOM all day, eating cheetos, wishing I had a girlfriend more attractive than Ms. Right(hand)".

I've been thinking that a better way to measure one's ARFCOM status would be to have a "quote count" in addition to (or in place of) the post count.  After all, if everyone's quoting your posts, you must be saying something intelligent, witty, informative, or all three.  Now, I have no idea what would be involved in creating a quote count, but surely the Crays goatboy's got stashed away in HIS basement could crack that number in no time flat.

What say ye?

Douchebaggery gets quoted as much or more so than decent posts.  And you can quote me on that.

I'm sorry. What did you say? I had to run upstairs from the Mom's Basement to get another bag of Cheetos. Damn my hand is sore too. I need to take another nap soon.

Ah but see high post counts could mean post whore, not always wisdom. Sometimes, less is more

The dumbest comment is often the most quoted...

Quote count would make trolls look like kings.

LW303 would have a huge Quote Count for referencing his "Epic Douche Baggery"
