hey, that is why i tagged it as i did

it is just that '1st post' bs aren't really all that common on this forum yet and i wanted to at least let my feelings on the matter out in the open.

I tend to agree...

Posts don't always have to be information-rich, Funny is also good...

"Woot first post" is like forum auto-clicking..

And it's even worse than "Wot he said ^^"

I don't mind "In before the

" nearly as much...

Great, now that you brought it up, you might have just brought the trend to this forum. I know i'll be using it from now on. Although the people who post those things waste their time and our time, i say let the kids have their fun

.

Way to go!

P.S. : Sweet, 5th post!

6th post.

Anyways I must not read these forums enough because I never remember seeing someone do this.

Edit:

Re-reading the posts I see you mentioned that it isn't common on this forum yet. Hopefully it stays that way.

On other game forums it's quite common with the first-thing. Mostly in replies to devs/official reps/GMs posts for some reson.

I would say a big reason why the first isn't as big here is because there isn't as many actual dialogues with the devs/reps/GMs as there are in other games (rather than just notifications & updates posted), meaning the first-people dont have as big a reason to try and get that 2 second attention from the OP by having the first reply.

It doesn't matter if you're first or last. It's the content that matters. Really.
