Postwhore, or "post whore" is a term used widespread on internet forums to describe a person who measures seniority in a community by one's numerical postcount.

Often confused with "attention whore", a postwhore is marked by one's belief in postcount as a caliber of rank.

Used widespread on internet message boards, the conjunction of the two words: "post" & "whore" was established to define what is a postwhore, as we know it.
a) A postwhore is not necessarily an attention whore.

b) The postwhores here will only accept you into the community after you have reached 1000 in postcount.

Someone who posts large quantities of posts that usually do not have much meaning. Could be to feel that they have some sort of authority, have no real life besides the message board, or get some special recognition for it. It also could be all three of those or many more reasons.
