What happened to the post counts? Did having two Time Trappers bust the systems so that none of us can see our post counts anymore? (At least not without looking at individual profiles.)

The official explanation is over on the Science Police board.

The counts are still being kept; they just aren't visible.

Here's the link to the SP thread: http://www.legionworld.net/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=11;t=000152;p=1#000000

The post counts were moved to the profiles to discourage some of the post count padding practices which have been coming up here lately, like bumping tons of old Welcome threads just to add to totals. The thought is if it's kept out of plain view there might be less of a motivation to do those types of things, which bury the active threads and generally annoy the populace.

Is that why those old welcome threads were bumped? I just responded to them because I was compelled to respond to a thread up front that was new to me. I actually hadn't considered that anyone was trying to pad post counts.

BTW, since I'm sure this topic is going to be brought up here more than once I'm going to highlight this topic for a day or two so everyone gets a chance to see it.

I know we already have a bunch of threads pinned, so if any of the other Advisors object just feel free to un-highlight it.

Well, your posts are still being counted, but you'll just have to click one more button to see them. Sounded like a good compromise to me.

I knew they were being counted, which is why I made the point of saying "without looking at individual profiles". I guess I just liked to see my post counts go up, particularly since I have been posting a fair amount over the past month. But I'll just look in my profile occasionally to see when I approach my next status change.

I like to see my post count rise, but after a binge, I decided that I should let it happen gradually instead of forcing it.

And I think it's a fair compromise as well, your post are still being counted.

Right now, I'm new, so if it seems like I post a lot, it's because I'm trying to let everyone know I'm here and that I'm also trying to get a feel for the place.

Some people just want a big post count to hang out with the big guns.

I understand, I had 45 posts while some had 8000, it feels like you're not contributing enough and that you have to post more.

Good for me in the since that I started to broaden my horizons and left the MMB to look at other boards, bad because I went on a posting binge once.

It's not the number of posts you make that's important; it's the quality of the posts you make that counts [Big Grin]

Not really... it's more what I tell myself whenever I see all the people with more posts than I have [Wink]
