        If I can't have it, you can't have it

        I put this whole thread down to POST COUNT ENVY.

        Look, I just don't anymore, okay?

          What about bragging about how many DL's you have, and your alleged ability to disrupt the site and exploit a claimed security breach? Is that in the same category?

          BTW, nuke post counts.

            Help the illiterate

            Hey maybe some of us could donate our posts to impoverished posters? It could be like a charity thing.

            "Here, have a 1000 posts son, hope that makes you feel better."

            It would all be purely voluntary of course.

            You say you don't like post counts MTG. Okay, well why don't you give Colon a 1000 of yours to get the ball rolling?

                The post rich could also reward the post poor with little gifts of say 100 posts whenever they make a post which is almost literate.

                    well, I don't like postcounts either, but I don't think it's gonna change, so I guess we'll just have to wait for the day the forums have a critical crash and re-zero all postcounts.

                      Does Colon actually want them?

                      Unless Mark or Dan for some reason says otherwise, I'm perfectly happy to transfer mine to anyone who really wants them. (Not all to one person, but a bunch at a time, or equally to whoever asks) Or I could just set mine to zero.

                        Thanx MtG, but you can give them to the really needy, otherwise you get complaints about socialist practices amongst the haves, who are too selfish to share it with the have-nots.

                          How about having a monthly collection of everyone's posts above the 500 needed for a custom avatar, and then distribute them among the settlers, chieftains, and warlords of the forums, so they get to 500 sooner

                              I don't know about abolishing post counts. Just because future counts are abolished doesn't mean that posters will surrender their titles, does it. This count abolition movement could just be a ploy to allow those who've already jacked up their scores and obtained higher titles to maintain the exclusivity of their little club. Mind you I'm not begging for charity or sharing the wealth, I just want a fair chance. Up until last month I would typically lose one or two posts for every successful post due to AOLs nasty timed cut off feature. Rightfully, without the malevolence of AOL, I'd be pretty nearly an emporer by now.

                              Does anyone remember when the post count was introduced, and why it was introduced?
