One of our biggest problems with post count is threads were popin up like "I have #### posts! congrats to me!", there are a lot of other forums who keep their post count up, or even have a member list showing where members stand. But this forum seems to be a younger crowd.. with that, we get immaturity.. like those threads which serve no purpose but to shine a light on the member which has done nothing more than write more posts.
I think if post count ever does come back, we will be sure to lock, delete and temporarily ban members who create threads about how great of a poster they are, or feel the need to update everyone about their post count.
I will continue to believe post count is irrelevant to a members helpfulness. We know who the key members are in this forum, and we know who is just bragging and we know who is honestly just helping people out.
Ps. we will start to re-enforce signature 480x80 and hotlinking images from other hosts.
Rules For any questions please leave a thread or post in suggestions and comments. Also you can chill down to the bottom of the main page and click on forum leads to PM any moderator, memberator or admin.
