People are going to think I'm crazy, but I know the post count will never be taken out anyway. Post count does have a lot to do with people spamming, believe it or not - many people do care about their post counts or they wouldn't be posting replies saying "w00t, my _000th post!".

Some forums out there don't have the post count.

Omit - to leave out.


With all that's said I still say NO.

I say no, but people shouldnt brag about it. I only use it to see past posts. I dont see it as a superiority meter or anything like that.

Post count? What is that? It is nothing but a stupid meter for bragging rights.

Keeping it seems okay to me. I've never really cared about the numbers game here anyway.

Thats actually true people wouldn't care about there accounts and if someone got banned they'll just make another account not caring about there lost posts. And its always fun to see how long or active a members been.

Actually, its so I can get respect for having so many posts. What do you want them to respect me for? Being the Midway Boards Mortal Kombat trivia champ along with Shadow Fire?

I don't like getting respected for having posts. I should have things thrown at me for posting too much.

If you get rid of the post count, you have made a very powerful enemy....... knowledge is power right?
