Drift Monkey Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 Just wondering how other members feel. They've been removed now obviously but I don't really see the difference...any reasoning behind this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubie02 Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 Personally I never looked at the post counts. I suppose it's possible post whore's do it to have high counts I suppose, but there are going to be people who talk because they like to hear themselves talk on any forum. Now they'll just compare join dates or something...human nature... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTCanada Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 How about a daily post limit to cut down on the level of filler on the forum? Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stef Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 [quote name='Drift Monkey']That has also been removed. :lol:[/quote] What has also been removed? Date joined? <----hey, look, here's the date I joined! And actually, the post count hasn't been removed from the board. It's just been removed from each individual post.

Dr. Zevil Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 :roll: Somehow I just knew that this would come up. :lol: It really has become funny... :lol: personally I think that it should be hidden. It's still there, all you have to do is click on someone's profile? Why is it that you say you don't care about the post count, but yet you have lobbied to keep it and are now lobbying to bring it back? Hmmmm... Funniest... thread... EVAR! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVAR! :lol:[/quote] I'm not lobbying anything. Just wanted to see what the members thought since I've seen some view expressed at how ridiculous the removal was, nothing for my own personal agenda. I never lobbied it because of my own post count, I lobbied it because I just saw nothing wrong about it. I truly don't care, but am intrested in other's thoughts.

Dr. Zevil Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 Perhaps we should add a "Who cares?" option too? I am sure there are plenty of people who would opt for that category.. just a suggestion. oh, and don't roll you're eyes at me. :lol: I know where you live.. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Zevil Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 So quick to speak for "everyone else".. intersting, see I told you that you had your finger on the "pulse of the forum".

I am going to add it just for ships and giggles. edit: I also corrected your spelling on "necissary", figured you would appreciate that since you are the forum spelling-bee. :lol::D :oops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest *Jedimaster* Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 For cryin' out loud- this isn't that big a deal. Removing them wasn't really necessary, but is it worth bitching and moaning? Grrr- sorry- PITA day at work. It does look a little empty now though- maybe a little extra space for usertext or something? I know signatures are frowned upon here, so maybe just double the amount of info you can add. BTW, I've watched how this went about, from a distance: it was carefully thought about and talked over. One of the good things about this site is that the admins are rregular people and not the typical "Nazi-Admin/Moderators". If they were, I'd have been outa here like Vladamere :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Zevil Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 I agree with your frustration Jedi.. I digress. Especially since I was pwned.. :roll: :lol: I am going to go and argue with the wall of my office. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tide Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 I find it funny noone has asked me why they were removed. For the record, noone asked me to pull them, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Zevil Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 This is a funny read..
