I'm sorry to have to say that I don't like the change. I liked having post counts (and ranks for that matter). Hopefully this isn't a permanent change

Is this supposed to prevent spamming, or to be unique yet "boring" again? This just doesn't feel right.

Reminds me of when the Anonymous thing revealed who was being nice because they were nice people and who was doing it only because somebody could keep track. The number of posts one has is immaterial to their status except for activity; quantity != quality. Furthermore, if you needed post count to want to post more, then who says you really had anything to say when you posted? Likelihood then is that it'd lead to posts made up for the sake of post count, AKA spam. From what I've seen, this change is not to cut down on spam, but rather, to show that post count is immaterial to a message board. Particularly this one. I have actually found myself posting more now that it is gone, so I'm not sure about you guys, but this change seems to make it more fun, not less, to post. ____________________

Or it could be a set of completely unrelated factors.

Though I suppose it might just feel good to use silly evidence to support an even sillier argument

Actually, it doesn't. That'd be kind of retarded. And if you think that's being put down, you need to get out more, seriously.

Why, that is exactly my point. It doesn't really feel good to make a silly argument. It just feels silly. Just as much as you don't feel good putting people down. Sorry if that confused you; it seems we are actually on the same page. ...Back to the topic at hand, what other reasons does one have for disliking the loss of post count? ____________________

Lack of posts where people can gloat "HEY I HAVE 1337 POSTCOUNT", "LOL 666TH POST", and "DOH I WASTED MY 1000TH POST!"

I really see no reason to worry so much about post count being shown. Its not important. If you really think that quantity = quality then you really haven't been around other places to see how far off you are.

Drag's Post #373

It's just something really trivial. I mean, what's the point of a mouse odometer, other than just to have something silly? Not to mention, the occasional landmark number posts. I mean, it's nothing to make a thread over, but it's nice to know when you've broken 1000. Not to mention, it's also interesting knowing your average posting rate. How many posts you do per day, pretty much (but instead of it being your posting average from all posts, why not have it be an average of all posts you've done this week or this month or something).

I dunno. I never intended to look at post counts as the end-all be-all definition of activity. However, not everyone thinks this way.

To go out of one's way to say postcount matters is no more stupid than going out of one's way to write some kind of bad argument about why it doesn't matter, but in fact does somehow matter because in your "unique" case it has some kind of reverse effect.

So, by your logic, that silly argument you slapped together to support a silly cause doesn't make you feel good, yet you do it anyway. Okay, then. Probably some kind of e-penis stroking involved, I suppose.

I had other junk here, but I save my best comedy for the right opportunities.

This topic isn't 'Let's make arguments about statements put together shortly after they're thought up.' Let us send any further iterations of this to PM. Anyway. If people are so enamored with posts to worry about their count leaving... I pose an additional question: What if there was an alternate, non-post way to deal with importance of posts? Perhaps... reward good posts by their merits? I dunno. The Mosts seem to work out to that effect in a way. ____________________

I'm honestly suprised there's this much crap about post counts.

I should've seen this coming... but at the same time, who cares?

While I see how it can cut down on senseless posting for posting's sake, it was kind of nice to know how many posts I had, just as a reference.

Ah, right. This topic isn't 'Let's make arguments about statements put together shortly after they're thought up.' Let us send any further iterations of this to PM.

In your presence, the postcount number is so evil and harmful that it makes your posting desire go DOWN; this is how pure and holy your posting powers are.

This shouldn't even need to be said; but you are laugh out loud ridiculous. I mean, it's funny, you using simply tired tactics to divert attention and attack me using message board "rules" to shield you. I was just being realistic; I'm not saying you're the only person who likes to get their internet pride stroked, there's nothing too surprising or unique about that (funny, yes; surprising, no). However, your way of accomplishing it and the subsequent denial is just... *snorts*

Pride... gotta love it. (even relatively meaningless e-pride.)
