Once someone responds, the only real choice you have to make a correction - unless you want to create total chaos by leaving replies to posts that no longer exist - is to edit what you wrote, which turns up in a disclaimer at the bottom of your post [about how the post has been edited] and makes you look like you were too dumb to get it right the first time.) Turns out, I've actually only posted 38 new, original posts in a year and a half. All the rest are delete/reposts of the originals.

#2202: Virtually live your life on this board and post, not only a new topic every time you can think of one, but responses to everything and everyone, all the time, constantly. And then just sit back and watch that post-count soar!


Am I leaving anything out?
