Just an Idea December 12, 2005, 08:39:08 PM How about not letting posts in the lounge go in the post count. I think it would cut back on a lot of post whoring. Thoughts?Nick Quote Selected
Just an Idea Reply #1 – December 12, 2005, 08:42:39 PM Personally I dont see why it even matters. I could care less if my post count even showed up next to my screen name in any of my posts... Quote Selected
Just an Idea Reply #2 – December 12, 2005, 09:23:50 PM I don't think we have much of a whoring problem here - some people (myself included) use the forum as kind of a blog, but I don't see people posting just to get their post counts up... Quote Selected

Just an Idea Reply #4 – December 12, 2005, 10:39:53 PM I just get annoyed when week after week the majority off the topics are things like "post pictures of your tree" or "I'm not at work today!" or "it snowed a little here today". IMHO this stuff is not the least bit interesting and makes me wonder if people don't post this stuff just to up thier post count. NickOh yea, and just searching through someone's (not going to name them) profile, In the last 110+ posts, only 3-4 have been outside the lounge. Quote Selected
Just an Idea Reply #5 – December 12, 2005, 10:55:43 PM So we arent allowed to create a thread to strike up any kind of conversation when some of us get bored out of our mind unless it has a valid point? Personally, I think its the BS threads that bring us closer together. It helps get to know one another and when we are actually talking about something a little more serious we have a better feel and understanding of what others are trying to say. But, dont mind me. Im just leveling-up! :D Quote Selected
Just an Idea Reply #6 – December 12, 2005, 11:24:18 PM That's not what I'm trying to say. I don't find everything in the lounge interesting, that's fine. I'd just expect some of these threads to be posted in a nursing home forum, not here. Seems like some people seriously need to GO OUTSIDE more often Nick Quote Selected
Just an Idea Reply #7 – December 13, 2005, 01:07:27 AM hey buddy I started that tree thread. I have met alot of the people on this forum and consider them all friends. This forum is the only one that I post anything un car related. Its nice to know someones opinion on things other than what color you should paint your car. Personally I hate post counts. I like forums without them. I dont see this as even being an issue, only reason I'm voicing my opinion......you cut me down. Quote Selected
Just an Idea Reply #8 – December 13, 2005, 01:43:26 AM No! This is a technical forum. No bullshiznitting and no socialization. Close all non-car forums now! You have plenty of time to be social when you're dead. Don't waste precious time now. End all fun!Free Post. Quote Selected

Just an Idea Reply #11 – December 13, 2005, 07:34:32 AM QuoteIf ya don't like the posts, don't read themI kinda have to agree with the Cougarman on this one. Post count doesn't matter. I think post whoring was when you posted just for the sake of it in every thread you could. Would you rather half the posts in the technical threads be nothing but someone saying hello?

Just an Idea Reply #13 – December 13, 2005, 09:57:53 AM I think you all will agree with me here, This is by far one of the tightest groups of people that congregate on the internet! And only some of us know each other. Quote Selected
Just an Idea Reply #14 – December 13, 2005, 10:03:11 AM Ok, well it seems the general concensus is leave it the way it is. That workes for me.Nick Quote Selected
