Some folks may ask me, some folks may say,
Who is this Red Square, you talk about ev'ry day?
Red Square is my Savior. Red Square set me free.
Now listen while I tell you what Red Square means to me.
Red Square is my ev'rything. Red Square is my all.
Red Square is my everything, both great and small.
Red Square gave his life for me, made ev'rything new.
Red Square is my everything. Now how about you?
Red Square's there each morning, to lead my way.
Red Square is my comfort, each and ev'ry day.
In all I trust Him as I journey along,
And that's the reason, I sing this song.
Red Square invites you, to come along.
Lift up your heart with Him, and sing this song.
His word cloth promise, if you'll obey,
You can live with Red Square, each and ev'ry day.

Avatars mean more to me. I know the avatars of the posters I like to read, so when I scroll down a page and see one of them I read their post.

I also read a post if it gets thanked a lot or quoted, usually to see if there's a fight starting. Multiple quotes means a fight at the bike racks, and I love reading a good meltdown.

Do the members do this to get your post count up so that you can gain experiance, thus gaining more red squares?

Is the quantity more important than the quality?
Some people do, some people don't. Most of it balances out in the end I'm sure.

I did a lot of my posting in the off topic threads and have a lot of long posts in there on lots of serious topics, but I participate in game threads too and earn posts for random cheering as well so...

I liked having the red square/blue square rating system too, would balance that out a bit, and give you more of a idea at a glance about that poster than just a date and post count. But it was too much for the mods to keep up on.

I think lots of posters might start off worrying about padding post counts, but after a while, just being part of the community, people just start talking about and participating in what they like. And then they don't worry about post count anymore.

Haha the first one comes easy enough. I think it's like what 50 posts? 100 posts? You'll be there in no time.

I do this too. I recognize avatars or sigs.

And who doesnt love a good ol CP meltdown? The last one was seriously epic....ahhh....the good old days of Jorje and his fat mexican relatives....that one was priceless.

Shegirl is another great.

There is no safe word.
