    Re: Hawaii Threads "Motormouths" Book 2

    Two major items were brought up in the responses to "Book 1" of Motormouths...

    1.) "Me Too" responders. and
    2.) "Post Whores"

    As for "Post Whores", Helen was right, no one's gettin' paid to post, so technically that slang isn't truly valid. Perhaps "Post Sluts"? lol
    Anyway said, it's a derogatory way of saying someone "talks too much". IHMO

    I'd rather just say they're all, "highly active members". What's wrong with that? Isn't that what a message board is for.. to be an active participant?

    Someone brought up the amount of active posters vs. total membership count. This says two things:
    1.) people have alot to say, but don't really wanna' say it. (like Rap's Replinger's Japodagee lol)
    and
    2.) There's a sh##load of LURKERS around here.

    "Me too" responders are fine with me. Don't we all do that every now and then?

    Also, I don't think the admins and moderators should be included in the Motormouths list, as part of their duty is to drop in and moderate "motormouthing" on the boards.

    Speaking of Admins and Moderators, hats off to all of you. Honestly, job well done!

    As of this post, I'm at about 112 since join date of May '04... about the same time lots of folks migrated from Mel's old HRTV PHP board. Coming from a (part) "podagee"-blooded braddah, that's a relatively "quiet" number.

          as a small aside, you know that there was a fun discussion on the web about the meaning of that expression, "turning japanese", right?
          525,600 minutes, 525,000 moments so dear. 525,600 minutes - how do you measure, measure a year?

            No, but I'm not surprised. Let me guess: it's awfully politically incorrect and racist. Right?

              No. It's about masturbation.
              And discussions on the Internet about its meaning predate the web by, oh, at least a decade, right?

                Well, since Kimo55 won top "Motormouth" of the month, perhaps HT can award him a personally-autographed CD single of Glen Miyashiro's "I think I'm Turning Porogee".

                  Kind of like that song "Whip It" by Devo.

                  Both came out at approximately the same time... mid-late 1980.

                    between kimo and miulang, it's like a wildcard race!

                      I agree, there, though I am a motormouth. Interestingly, even if you add my posts as pzarquon and the 272 or so I've posted with my admin hat on, I'm still way, way behind both Kimo and Miulang.

                      I wish there was a way to get these stats monthly, rather than historically. There may very well be no catching up to the top motormouths!

                        Yeah, I think if you looked at the stats from last month alone you'll see that I come nowhere near to Kimo in motormouthedness. And I'll soon slip into the "hohum" category because I have night school twice a week beginning next Tuesday, and that will run through June. But I'm sure there will be others who can just as capably fill my spot as #2 motormouth and make me proud!
