    More like the OT was getting so spammy that something had to be done.

      I'd prefer stricter moderatorship in the OT, then, rather than the rather draconian approach of simply cutting off post counts, rah.

        Postcounts should be done away with. Here and most other forums, they're little more than a "Look how big my penis is?" statement and encouragment to make worthless spam posts.

          Like this one.

          I disagree slightly. Here, you can only have a custom avatar if you make 500 posts. This reduces the number of images stored by Apolyton because if it were possible to set your avatar from the start, single question people would register and set an avatar and never post again.

            Out of habit, I checked your profile. 497.

            Then I looked at your birthdate.

            EDIT - Didn't reply properly

            I agree with you about single post people. Actually, get rid of avatars too. Most of the inane pics used as avatars (including mine) are a pain for dial-up users.

              I've never met someone who had the same birthday as me before. Closest was the 9th. How old are you turning?

              Control Panel -> Edit Options -> Show user's avatar in their posts? -> No.
              I tried browsing with sigs, avatars, and attachments turned off for a while. It was really fast.

                  It's a secret.

                  I've tried that, but the board looks so bland.

                      I thought that way too, when if first happened, but since then, I've come to agree with their decision. There is still some spam, but it has been reduced considerably.

                        I'm...ah...slightly older.

                          edit: missed seeing the second page.

                          But on the birthday thing, in elementary school, I had two classmates with the same birthday (including the year) and my grandpa had the same day 73 years earlier.

                            Yep, it's a small world.
                            I share a birthday, (the same year even) with another less popular Mod here.
