I put no for this reason ^^^

No, it hasn't. I brought it up just because.

I fully expected everyone to say "no" to my idea (and even mentioned that in my OP on the other topic). But apparently, despite lots of people either not caring, or saying no to the idea, we're still getting a majority in favor of getting rid of the Forum Games posts.

...Why? If you don't want it to happen, don't vote "no". It's no skin off my bones, so why is everyone agreeing that it be done? We've got 5 "yes's" so far... But why? Is everyone just trying to be "logical" or something? If you don't want it to happen, why are you people voting "no"??

Geez, sometimes I can't understand the public mind...

Usually, the "I don't care"-ers vote in favor of the OP, or just go with the majority. Which is silly. If you don't care, don't vote. ;)

Heh... that's kinda sad.

And what about our titles? Why should someone be "One of the People" if more than the half of his posts are in the Forum Games cathegory? It's not fair, I think.

I voted no.

Yup didnt vote.

I don't actually care; I believe we don't feel superior to anybody because "Hah, I've got 100 more posts than you!" Does it really matter?

I would say keep it, though. Better not to change things that work or don't do harm at all.

Dreaming Of Pandora 08-05-2010 02:52 PM

Honestly, I paid more attention to my post count back on AF, but here I don't even notice it.

Oh and Zenit... Hah, I've got 100 more posts than you! :P

Human No More 08-05-2010 04:32 PM

I really don't mind either way... It's not like number of posts REALLY count for anything, although it IS nice to have the kind of milestones of having been around for a while and made a significant number, but on the other hand, if people DO feel the need to actively increase their count, then they should do it by making posts not just in forum games as well I guess :)

Yes, they should still be posts. If they were not, then hey, people like Hoscaba or Pa'li would not be Toruk Makto, 'and without the Toruk Makto I'd hate to say it but the Tree of Souls would probably have fallen to Quaritch's attack...'

Dreaming Of Pandora 08-05-2010 09:11 PM

Hmmm.. interesting argument.. ^

I'm still Toruk Makto :P ;)

I went with yes.

I always thought that postcount didn't matter here, that we went by what people said.

Anyway, as far as i'm concerned, a post is a post and that's all there is to it. I don't judge people by their post count. I do see what you're saying about new members but surely when they see some people have 5000+ posts, yet often say very little in the actual forums themselves, they'll kind of deduce "Oh, they must hang around the games section a lot" and then get back to posting. After all, visitors come here to read, not to look at postcounts. :P

Oh yes and you. Gosh I thought becoming Toruk Makto was quite rare whereas there are several on this very site!

That's pretty much what I figured as well, and I don't mind the uber-huge post counts some have either. ;) But it'd still be easier to keep track of all the posts not made in the games section, for those who keep track at all. :)
