    I still think that the posts in Off Topic should be counted if there's a post count. However it's a lot quieter now that the requirements for custom avatars were lowered significantly.

      I think they should too

      and AH. . i would have set the diety limit even lower, probably emporer at 2000 and diety at 3000, but then i KNEW someone would say "you just want to be diety. . "

      check my post count bucko, it's less than 4000 still.

      (it SHOULD be almost 5000, but i made 200 some posts with another login i used for a while, pluse an 800 PCR on black saturday )

        Read the goddamn titles of my (previous) posts: I'm only kidding

        "I don't believe in "Grandfathering"."

        Ok, how many more people are there that took my ideas above serious?

        I think I better stop before I actually start convincing people.

          Just abolish post counts, altogther. Let nothing stand.

            the "postcount = postcount + 1" thing is something i brought over from another forum.


            Huh? *looks at your registration date*

            Nope, sorry, bud. That thing (postcount=postcount+1) was around LONG before you ever got here.

              +1 is much simpler.

                    how am i to know? someone asked me what it meant and i answered him. everyone else may know what it meant, but apparently Ecthelion did not. it may well have been here for a long time, but the first i encountered it was a long time before i came here on another site's forums.

                      The thing that pisses me off most is that due to some server malfunction I lost all my post count just before the new rule. Now I am forever stuck at 'warlord' (and I am a pacifist!!)

                      MarkG refused to set me back to 'prince' because I didn't have any proof I was one ...

                        Lightening, I've said that before, but appears people like to debate about post-counts so abolishing it is a non-starter. (otherwise they wouldn't have anything to debate about anymore, you see)

                        Rogan, can't you call in witnesses or something like that?

                            Don't they realize that abolishing the post count for OT posts merely forces those OT people to post in sections where decent people are trying to have serious discussions? Let me tell you, they are soooo annoying. Take me for an example...

                              I can be your witness, Rogan. I remember.

                              If MarkG asks, he was indeed a prince, and lost his numbers during the last major crash, before the forum change.
