Off Topic Obsession

Just going to throw this out there, is it bad to post more in the off topic section, rather than the car section. Although i do post in the car section I do not mod or anything. I think MB's are perfect the way you buy/lease them. So is it bad for your reputation here to post more in the off topic than other forums here?

I don't think anyone keeps count. Although I do know a few of the "high end" sections look down on poor old off-topic. Maybe we should have a showdown of sorts. Of course off topic would win, because, as you surely know by now, contains all knowledge available to mankind. Nothing escapes the grip of off-topic.

what happens if your post count does not increase for any posts done in OT? will the whoring stop, or it will just continue

To be honest, I think it doesn't matter.
I come here not for the post count, but for the content I can read. Sure the signal to noise ratio isn't all that well, but if you ignore some obvious whoring threads there's a lot of information that can be tapped.

post counts don't mean anything...its all about learning and about fellowship

It's not the amount of posts you have, but how you use them that counts.
