Number of posts. Are you even aware?

Thanks Anna. But can you throw some more light on this? I mean on "actions". When we write a comment, reply, or start a discussion, only then that number increments by one. Right?

@abhi_bangal Correct, and when people delete posts where we left comments, the number decreases. Mine dropped a lot after a few members left and closed their accounts. I was close to 500000.

@LadyDuck Oh I didn't know that

When I said "posts" I didn't really mean that only. But three things - the comments, the responses, and the discussions that we start. Yes, it's a gauge of our activeness. But as @LadyDuck Anna said, if anyone deletes any discussion, our contribution too comes down. So, can it be a correct gauge? Also, my number shows 6000+ (I touched 6000 just today only). I have been a member here for almost 17 years now. Yes, I wasn't active here for a few years in between. But the duration since becoming a member and the number of posts, don't really do any justice. I mean who knows those discussions might have got deleted where I might have posted something and my number has decreased.

@porwest Yeah. I've realized that. You are more active with some thoughts and inputs. That's lovely.

@abhi_bangal Ultimately what I look at more than anything is who is most active with ME personally. I tend to spend more time with them.

"I think some of the active users are not posting anything much". You mean they aren't starting any new discussions? Is that correct? Did I interpret you correctly? Secondly, they reply to other replies and comments more. Is that what you are saying?

@luisadannointed OMG! You have a very keen eye on the progress. I could never ever gauge such things. I wonder how you do!

@abhi_bangal yes, exactly.

I think you are talking about the computer/laptop procedure to check the number of posts. Because there's no dropdown menu in Android phone. Anyway, I got the page where we can check the details you mentioned.

@rakski Yes yes. I was already aware of that page. I had even told @LindaOHio that she had 3,230 discussions and 96,700 responses. Hahaha... That was fun talking with her about that.

Yeah see the magic. We don't even pay attention to such activities. But it's good to check in a while. By the way, you have started 3,230 discussions and 96,700 responses. That's quite remarkable.

@LindaOHio Yeah. I've also been a member for almost 17 years now. Compared to that, my number of posts look too miniature. However, I'm active here for the past few weeks. That has at least pushed my number beyond the 6000 mark.

@abhi_bangal I've been here several years; and I'm active just about every day.

Exactly. I just recently started noticing the number of posts. And I also saw the number of posts of other fellow MyLotters. It's fun actually. We can compete with only ourselves.

Yes a lot indeed. You have crossed the 100,000 mark already. Looks like you have joined around 18 years ago. I think we are speaking for the first time. It's good to communicate with new people and make friends.

4 posts in a single day was not bad, to be honest. Because many of us are here apart from having our main work for livelihood. So the time we get isn't like a full day's work. But I'm quite active here since a few days now.

Exactly. Now I'm aware of that fact by far. But I am still out of wits as to why anyone would want to delete their posts after all. I mean why? Are they carrying a formidable reason to do that?

It was same here until a few days back. I didn't bother to check how many posts I had written. But I don't know why I was drawn to that number and since then I observe it daily - at least for myself.
