April 2017 Prize Giveaway….Get Involved and Win Big Time! Over $5,000 in Prizes!

I don't know how other PE forums do things but this place is the bees knees for giving away quality prizes. I don't know how this place doesn't have thousands of posters every month contributing their knowledge in an attempt to win something substantial.

As a former winner I say congrats to you Longerdick7+. May you acquire not only the tools to improve your tool but also grow the knowledge to grow your tool.

I think ages ago there was a small update from time to time who has the most posts during the month, but of course the amount of posts shouldn't be the only factor and thankfully it isn't.
Since the thanks and likes buttons were introduced I don't recall such updates about most posts and so on.

Also; as there isn't these updates it doesn't create ill competition; better it is so, that threads don't derail too much and that there's more good information than just "blahblah" in the sense of what I've just written.

Near the top of the screen under "quick links" you can pull up "top posters of the month" and it'll show total number of posts for the month. It doesn't show who has most likes/thanks though.

Great! Two new things I've learned today, how to input an image to the post so it shows up and isn't just a link.
Was interesting to see, I honesly felt I posted a lot more, but it's probably my self-censorship that in the end just clicks the X to close the window. (Or tab.)
Albeit, when I usually post, my posts are a bit long at times, but I prefer it that way.

Perhaps there could/should be a 'number of characters' per post button, lol. btw, how do you input an image?

I will send this concern to LIGHTNING.

MEME's do not count unless accompanied by words.
Posts with one sentence or word do not count.
Anything seen as redundant or repetitive will also be excluded

Make sure posting is well thought out, altruistic, kind, and done for the right reason. Yes wining is great but helping your Brothers is far greater.

First you have to do the initial attaching / uploading. The code for putting a picture to show is + +, minus the plus marks. I think I uploaded the picture, opened it up, copied the URL and then put the URL inside that img-bracket thing.
Seemed to work alright in this one thread, I consider editing few of my others posts with pictures to that similarity! It's strange how many years ago I posted a picture about my modded Ring Of Power and that didn't need as lot of work, but I guess there might have been some changes.

No problem. I found that while poking around one day.

I do the self-censorship thing too. I'll start typing and sometimes my posts get super long and go off on some weird tangent. I end up deleting a lot of posts before hitting submit.

I also make some long posts at times. I'm the same way in person when I get into a good discussion with someone (obviously talking though, not typing). I like to talk and I can't help it

my most used key is the 'backspace' button, lol ( would be nice to have one IRL. lol)

Yup, just cleaned my keyboard and the delete button was filthy! I must have taken back many words

This might come as "ass-kissing", but please post everything you have in your mind!

I clean my keyboard from time to time with some wipes. I like relatively clean equipment; to my shame I have dismissed some of my friends keyboard due to their filthiness!

I think it's just relatively to my playing several instruments from time to time; keeping your hands clean makes the strings last longer ...
But sometimes good thoughts come through from dirty keyboards or strings!

Sometimes I will write a post and realize I am being selfish, rude, insensitive, vengeful, etc. and my conscious kicks in and I rewrite. This can happen over and over until I feel what I am saying is fair and brotherly. My "!" key gets used a lot and I am always saying things like, Congratulations! or Good Job!
