What about bragging about how many DL's you have, and your alleged ability to disrupt the site and exploit a claimed security breach? Is that in the same category?

BTW, nuke post counts.

Hey maybe some of us could donate our posts to impoverished posters? It could be like a charity thing.

"Here, have a 1000 posts son, hope that makes you feel better."

It would all be purely voluntary of course.

You say you don't like post counts MTG. Okay, well why don't you give Colon a 1000 of yours to get the ball rolling?

well, I don't like postcounts either, but I don't think it's gonna change, so I guess we'll just have to wait for the day the forums have a critical crash and re-zero all postcounts.

Does Colon actually want them?

Unless Mark or Dan for some reason says otherwise, I'm perfectly happy to transfer mine to anyone who really wants them. (Not all to one person, but a bunch at a time, or equally to whoever asks) Or I could just set mine to zero.

Thanx MtG, but you can give them to the really needy, otherwise you get complaints about socialist practices amongst the haves, who are too selfish to share it with the have-nots.

How about having a monthly collection of everyone's posts above the 500 needed for a custom avatar, and then distribute them among the settlers, chieftains, and warlords of the forums, so they get to 500 sooner

I don't know about abolishing post counts. Just because future counts are abolished doesn't mean that posters will surrender their titles, does it. This count abolition movement could just be a ploy to allow those who've already jacked up their scores and obtained higher titles to maintain the exclusivity of their little club. Mind you I'm not begging for charity or sharing the wealth, I just want a fair chance. Up until last month I would typically lose one or two posts for every successful post due to AOLs nasty timed cut off feature. Rightfully, without the malevolence of AOL, I'd be pretty nearly an emporer by now.

Does anyone remember when the post count was introduced, and why it was introduced?

If Mark and the boys want to strip titles, there is squat that anyone can do to stop them.

Title? I don't need no stinkin' title! Your posts, your post counts, throw them out now!

BTW, Dr, that Peter Sellers Avatar is my all-time fav on the boards.

Dr Strangelove, pc's have always existed at poly. The only thing that has changed over time wrt it are the titles, there used to be only 2 titles, one of which, member, you received after 30 posts.(can't remember the other title really well, was it non-member?)

I'm not certain why it's featured in UBB or vBB. A human desire towards registering and statistics, I guess.

I voted for "who cares". Cuz I'm going to keep coming and make the same posts regardless if it "counts" or not.

I mean really.....it's pretty sad if you really care

pc does not = worth + community

Here we go, the people who come out and say how pathetic and meaningless they are. Come on, they are a bit of fun, an opportunity for some friendly competition. They aren't important, no, but they just add an aspect of fun at times. I can't see why any of you pay so much attention to the damn things. It almost seems to be a demonstration of 'how above it all' you are to come out so vociferously anti-post count, but in the end, it all seems a bit petty...

Stick with the status quo...

Once I have 10,000 posts, which I plan to keep for myself, I will give generously of any excess posts to less fortunate members.

I think we should set a goal like "by 2002 no member shall live in post poverty". It could be like a post safety net.

But the big question is, will those with few posts become dependent on donated posts? And how will they ever learn to post in their own right if we keep giving them posts? Nobody ever offered me any posts - I'm a self made poster!

I must concede that the real reason I'm against postcounts is my hope to achieve my goal right before AH reaches his 10.000th post.

By this I intend to make AH collapse into a depression.

Well since OT posts don't count, even those meagre 1030 posts to deity is still one hell of a distance to go now. I contribute a lot to the Civ3 forum and make some posts here, and it looks like since the demise of CGN, I will start having to use the AC-multiplayer thread for PBEM updates...even so, on-topic, that is a lot of posts...
