My personal feeling on post count on my boards is that yes it's a pain that people are so preoccupied with post count. But at the same time I remember when I was a newbie and it kind of helped to show who had been there and been around.

*waves* Hey Vil! Nice to see you again!


You have a point on the post count for this board, it's not a biggie like hack count.

And I agree that it might help out to see who's been around on the boards (I'm familiar with all of your boards, and I'm sure you know I'm referring to CB ((ugh))). Our members are so ungrateful if they lose a post! We've tried the "delete posts without changing post count" hack, but that seemed to be a flop. We've tried creating forums without adding post counts in those forums (introductions, games, etc), but that doesn't seem to appease the masses. Also, tried doing a mass cleaning every few weeks or so, but that still drops the count which results in mega-griping.

I guess the two don't really compare, though, as you stated since this board isn't focused on post count as much as another board might be. :s



Originally I intended this thread to discuss feedback of this site, but it may turn into a general board discussion. If it needs to be moved, please do. :s Sorry if it's now in the wrong forum. *lol*


Anyway, I'm still interested in hearing feedback concerning post count here and your ideas on how it would affect other boards.
