Bizkit Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 Well this is the only board that I even see people make threads on how many posts they have. Most boards people just PS it in whatever post them made and say something like "4000th post!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banzai Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 one big thread would be nice or a sub forum for birthday, x000 threads, and welcome threads. just to clear the general forum a bit, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most boards people just PS it in whatever post them made and say something like "4000th post!" People need to learn to do that instead of making all these stupid "oooo look at me, I've made 1000 posts, I'm special, come congrats me" threads. It makes this board look very tacky.

bangbang023 Veteran Posted June 3, 2004 Veteran Share Posted June 3, 2004 if they bother you, don't read them. why is that so hard? I can't stand half the stuff posted in RWI, so I don't read it unless I have to moderate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radium Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 I kinda agree, I never make any x000 threads , just imo just stupid (Y) I don't understand why people do it... when you join this forum then you do it to ask for help or help someone else... not to create "Hello" threads and "####th post" threads. You can insert a "Hello" in your first post. Hide post count and remove those huge threads. Make the stars usefull, make them show how active users are, base them on posts per day and not post count. (posts in the usefull sections... not off-topic) Some threads contains hundreds upon hundreds of pages... and Neowin still suffers from overload, why not cut down on the stuff that is just wasting time and space even if it's just a small fraction of the actual problem?

Bearded Kirklander Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 I have heard that some sites are getting rid of post counts totally. I think someone said that HardOCP did this when they upgraded to their new forum software. That may be a good idea everywhere I guess. I would not mind it if we did not have post counts. People do fight over them way too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangbang023 Veteran Posted June 4, 2004 Veteran Share Posted June 4, 2004 Like I've said a million times before, some of us take pride in knowing that we have a post count that is as much as possible a representation of useful posts that show just how much we contribute to the community.

How often someone is posting is accurate. Lets say that I get 5 stars in 5 months... then I go will slow down and post once per week, after a while the post count is a higly inaccurate number for showing how much I contribute.
