How long did it take you to get to 250 posts (for SC)?

[mtagrant]

We are getting all that sort of behaviour with people who have been here for years, so much for a vetting period.

Problems with actual sales on SC are still relatively uncommon. There are obviously some sales threads that descend into all sorts, but generally this is before money has changed hands

[damperman]

Taken me ages, must admit I don’t post a lot, I think next 12 months I will post more.

It’s taken a little while and nearly there. I find if You do a bit of DIY You can answer a few questions for members and it will bolster Your count at the same time although I’m in no hurry to hit 250

[tom3949]

The sales Cornet is just the start, hit 10k posts and you get access to the full orchestra.

So 250 posts in 8 years so time to make 10,000 posts ....

Hmmm - guess I won't be listening to the full orchestra then.

:o)

I’m a slow coach too, I lurk most days but don’t have the time to posts - how do you guys find the time!

I don't really see the need to make people clock up 250 posts before they can access the SC.

I think some people should have a requirement of 250 posts before they are allowed to post anything.

I think the people who irritate are the +1 and nice watch brigade

Wear in good health!

[Paddy!]

Another slow burner here. I’ll chime in if I think I can help and the usual thread hijackers haven’t ruined it.

There are plenty of posts I read and watch out of morbid fascination, with no desire to join in. A bit like my view on dogging.

As with most things in life, if you haven't tried it don't knock it.

Still waiting and not making much progress!

I do a lot of DIY on an industrial scale! Just finished my third major house renovation and can turn my hands to most trades except bricklaying, roofing or plastering. I posted on a shower thread but haven't seen many DIY questions, where do they live?

Since you asked

According to my kids the power shower at home is playing up, turns on etc. but the water is always cold but does randomly go hot and then stays hot. The first person to use the shower gets hot water, after that always cold.

To me it sounds like a classic case of the motor brushes on the hot water pump down to their last piece of carbon. The pump unit is separate and has 2 pumps for the hot and cold feeds. Shower unit is a Triton Satellite something or the other with a wireless controller.

Does this sound like a brush problem to you, not too sure the brushes can actually be changed but I’m away at the mo and won’t be able to take a look for another 2 weeks.

[jukeboxs]

If you are primarily interested in selling them eBay really is the place.

That is just a pipe dream though. There are so many free-loaders on here that use the place as a fee-free bazaar for flogging old tat (which in the good old days used to go the charity shop) or make a quick buck. All within the rules though, assuming they contribute to the fundraiser when required. P.S. Good to see you back posting, hope all's well.

You've just increased your post count by c5%. Keep up the good work. [I do admire that you're not rushing though.]

[cnjm1]

A number of years and I’m close to 200. Well one closer with this post

Thank you! Doing ok. :-)

I can't understand all of these slow posters.

If I join a new forum I want to get stuck in straight away and post up my thoughts, what I've got/want, discussion etc etc.

I'm not one for sitting back lurking.

In fact if we all did that there wouldn't be much of a forum!

[damperman]

At my rate it’ll be another 2 years, not to worry, saving all my sale items up ready to flood the market.

Pretty sure you are in ‘Runner Spotting’ LOL. Nah just kidding, fair play to you, it took me a while but once I found my feet I was put up as a runner, but still here many years later. Keep on keeping on matey.

Different strokes for different folks…. Many knowledgeable lurkers on here…. Some people don’t feel the need to comment on every single thread they read

Although (in order to create a thread) it’s better that more people get involved…!!!

[broxie]

There is a lot of tat on SC. I don’t sell anything worth less than £20 these days, it’s not worth the hassle or my time.

Perhaps SC could be limited to watch sales only and have a Paypal button with a £5 listing fee? Another sales bit for the tat people feel they need to proffer here instead of Gumtree.

[skmark]

Only posting just to see how many posts I've made and when I joined......it was a while ago ;o)

[Strchr03]

178 posts after 2.5 years. It’s a marathon not a sprint

How many?

[markyboy.1967]

A year and a bit so far and only 2 or 3 posts to get to my 250.

[Culminator]

Took me about 10 months but then I wasn't hell bent on replying to every thread just to raise my score. A little bit perhaps but not obsessively.

[mickyricky]

My count has gone up by one !

[markyboy.1967]

Only 1 more post for me to reach that 250, just need to make it a decent one.lol

[broxie]

I had to come back here for my 250th post ;-)

Four years and three months to answer my own question. Got a large handful of JDM Seikos sourced in Tokyo on a business trip and I just bought a lightbox from Ebay, so will spend the next week getting some listed. And top up Eddies coffers of course.

Gives me something to do whilst off work having chemo!

[damperman]

Still trying only 97 to go.

You haven't really made 250 until you've had a mention here:

https://forum.tz-uk.com/showthread.p...potting/page59

And you have! Congratulations on the full-fledging at last (and good luck with the chemo).

Can’t see that forum yet. Hope it was all good!

[Pitfitter]

I’ve got enough posts but nothing to sell. Bummer.

I may be in the same position but it’s not the reason I'm here.
No money to buy either, bummer.

[strell]

I agree with op, find it really hard not to spam lots. But suppose a photo every week of the watch will help me too, as I have a couple forum bought watches that I’m wanting to move on, but waiting until I can sell them here.

[Merkaholic]

Iv been here since May. I was on TRF but it felt a bit alien. I don't think im far off 250. Not long before I open my treasure chest

Been here about 18 months or so. Only really post a when needed. Have seen a few posting crap just to get post count up in that time though
