Obviously you haven't read through too many posts, if u haven't realised that that's what most people do.

But you don't have a high post count to even justify yourself procastinating on BOS, use that as your justification or your promise to stop. ;)

Everyone procastinates in their own way you just have to use some self control.

I procrastinate on this and another forum. Problem is, my postcount is around 4000 on the other forum.

It depends on what you define as a ‘good UAI’. Different people are happy with different UAIs as they have meet their goals and got into the course they wanted.

It also depends if you account a high post to helpful, inquiring, on topic posts or spam. ;)

ahah, you can spam on this site?
Is that what was meant by the reference to lottox as a spammer?
hmm i presumed he spammed on other sites..
:)
and i didnt mean anything by choosing lotto as my 'good UAi', he was just the first one that came to mind, did pretty much the same subjects as me, and got the UAI-ish i want:)
Ok so maybe somehting was meant by it :p
how many posts does Lotto x do per day?
1.45...
i must make that average!
haha :)

:eek: no as I know lottox has helped a lot of people with Maths etc etc, I was merely stating it depends on how you account for BOS members post and how helpful they are, the subjects they do and the knowledge they have. Many of the high posters are good at one subject or a subject area and help BOS members in that area then become a regular poster on the other parts of the forum.

Well it still stands a 'good uai' is whatever you make it. Anyway can have a good UAI if it's what they needed and gets them to where they want to go.. My point was simply that nobody can determine a good uai but yourself as different people need different things therefore I don't think people should comment on what is and isn't a good UAI, at least until they have on. ;)
