You know, this is the most sensible solution for the OT post count issue that I've heard... I also have posted much less there since the change.
I would like to start off by saying that I'm not a huge OT poster, but I do post there sometimes. Over the course of my stay here, I have posted much more in other areas i believe.
BUT, to get to the point, I think that OT posts should count, if not as a full post. It really isn't fair to the new posters that OT posts don't count at all when most of the more permanent fixtures here at apolyton owe a great deal of their post count to the OT. It creates a huge and hard to bridge gap for the newer members, and is particularly unfair since they can't change to a custom icon until after 500 posts (?).
Anyway, I think it would be better if you could come up with a system so that posts in OT did count, if not as a full post (maybe half a post?)
Just a thought...

"I thought you must be dead ..." he said simply. "So did I for a while," said Ford, "and then I decided I was a lemon for a couple of weeks. A kept myself amused all that time jumping in and out of a gin and tonic."

I agree completely. Bring back post counts in the OT! I'd be an Emperor by now if they counted!

sorry, but the the no-post-count-in-OT rule works just fine
