I really agree with everything Fkeu 'Awpo said.

Still, if the community wants something, it will happen. After all, ToS is a member's forum.

Voted no, but post count really doesn't mean a thing to me. I don't even think it's worth worrying over to be honest...

It really doesn't matter, in my opinion. As people before me have said, post count doesn't reflect post quality. But the number of what we might classify as "pointless" posts on forum games would not show on a member's post count. I voted no.

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.

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.

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!

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...'

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

That's also why Quaritch stays away from here!

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.
