Number of Posts?
 

How can I see the total number of posts I have made on MusicBanter.com?

You can't, it's impossible.

like really it's pretty obvious

As far as I know, you can't, though I'll admit I haven't bothered trying to find out if there is a way. Would it matter if my post count was 500 posts more or less?

edit :

Unless you of course post only in forums that add to post count. Then you can look at your post cound under your avatar, but .. I think it's fairly unlikely that someone would only post in those forums if they've been here for a while. ;)

i've never understood this.

why do post counts matter at all in the first place? really, i want a legitimate explanation.

n00bs have a low post count, if you have a higher post count you're a more experienced forumer... and also much sadder.

it took me a year and 3 months to have 500 posts less than you :p:

I know, how depressing. I work, I come home, I get a drink, I go online. FML.

Yeah, man...you really are ALWAYS on. That's not bad, though...it's nice knowing someone will be on to respond to my posts right away. You are always down for discussion, too so that's a plus.

I usually get out either Friday night or Saturday, but recently I just can't be fucked going out to have a few drinks, I feel more at ease sat at home with a Jack Daniels with the football, or watching a load of old films or listening to music. One of the last times I went out, I got chatted up by a gay bloke. I feel safer here having discussions. :laughing:

I'm always up for a discussion about how overrated Rush are or any other bad proggy/math rock bands. :thumb:

Not cool, man. Not cool. Rush deserve every bit of praise they get. Read my reviews and you will know exactly how I feel about this. One day you will love prog...I just know it. You will wake up and want to listen to nothing more than Genesis's album Foxtrot and we will laugh that it took you so long to figure out how awesome this music is.

The day I listen to a Gensis album is the day I'll realise I'm middle aged and dull. I hope that day doesn't come too soon.

I might actually give your Rush reviewed a read through, I do actually like their first album. It's more.. simple.

I always get the feeling Progressive Rock is overly pretentious and has an air of self worth around it, y'know what I mean? Or is that just me.

I think your idea of "prog" is a little unrealistic. Especially for early progressive rock, "prog" is not really a good way to describe the actual music.

In other words, King Crimson doesn't sound like Yes doesn't sound like Genesis doesn't sound like Jethro Tull doesn't sound like ELP doesn't sound like Caravan doesn't sound like Gentle Giant doesn't sound like Pink Floyd etc etc ..

If you think it makes sense to just label those bands as "prog" and "pretentious" and "no thanks", then it's your loss, really. ;)

Well it's like that with most Genres of music, whether it's Metal or Electronic. Bands don't sound the same from one to another, their sound can branch off. The genre Metal or Electronic is just a loose term, there's lots of sub genres with in that. The same with Progressive Rock, whether it's Psychedelic Prog (Pink Floyd) or Progressive Art Rock or Progressive Experimental, it's still Progressive Rock. The whole structure of it just strikes me as really pretentious, unfortunately.

So what is it the bands have in common which makes them "prog" that you find pretentious then? The structure or whatever you call it .. ;)

I'm on even more than you Micheal. Don't complain.

^Plus people think you're a 30 year old man. xD

^True

To answer the original question.

You can't.
