Just an Idea Reply #20 – December 16, 2005, 03:08:50 PM Quote from: stuntmannickOh 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.Probably talking about someone like me, which just makes me laugh that you take it seriously enough to complain about it.Honestly, what does post count matter, aside from skewing this idiotic reputation system?Here's a suggestion: (Carmen or Eric?) For anyone bugged by the majority of the content in the Lounge, why don't we make the Lounge its own section of the board in the same way the Racing section and Computer Stuff sections are? That way, if the Lounge bugs you, you can just minimize it and only see the on-topic car stuff.. same as how I keep the Racing section minimized most of the time. It sure beats bitching and whining about stuff in that section. (not like I would in the first place.. easy enough to just not read it unless someone ICQs me telling me something stupid is going on in there and I'll get a laugh out of it)That's all for now.. this has been given more attention than it deserves as it is.

Just an Idea Reply #21 – December 16, 2005, 03:40:48 PM If there was more partition on the technical lounges people would prolbably post more there. I know I have started several threads to get people to start posting tech stuff but people read and never reply. Seems most people just want to hang in the lounge, due to there is nothing going on in any of the other threads. just my .02 Quote Selected
Just an Idea Reply #22 – December 16, 2005, 04:13:16 PM How much more partition do you want in the on-topic forums? A lot of stuff is reposts, of which nearly all of us are guilty of at some point or another. The rest, well, it usually gets answered sooner or later.I'm on three vehicle forums. I'll talk about two of them for comparison. This board has nearly 6,000 users.. the Dodge truck forum I'm on has nearly 19,000 users and covers a far larger range of vehicles than just two models (T-bird/Cougar) and a few years. (83-88, not counting the boxcars) This place ALWAYS *seems* busier to me than that place, with less than 1/3rd the registered users. I'd say we're not doing too badly here. (note I said *seems*.. it's possible the other board does more overall volume.. but then, it SHOULD)Given the choice between the current on-topic post numbers and the alternative of having more posts per day and those posts including more from people like the old user "i'm gay as hell" or that guy that got banned, I'll take the status quo "for teh win".How about we just eliminate visible post counts and rep altogether? I think most people here are smart enough to judge the value of the other users by what they post, not by post counts or passive-aggressive anonymous rep comments. You know the post count/rep system as a measure of individual contribution is flawed when someone like me has more rep than someone like Tom or Chuck, for example. Quote Selected

Just an Idea Reply #26 – December 16, 2005, 05:41:37 PM Admins need the post count visible so that we can prune the inactive users a few times a year, or to recognize a noob that needs, um, "realigned". Quote Selected
