I really wish that Bungie would add the post count feature back to the forums.
Although it probably doesn't matter, and most people don't care. I would like to see how often a person visits the site and posts, so that I may consider how reliable the source may be.

Bungie.net used to have a post count back in the day. It was removed because post counts encourage spam. Although I am unaware of any future site updates, I assume that it will most likely never return.

What do you mean "back"? We never had a post count to begin with and we never will because it would cause even more spam, if that's even possible.



There used to be one btw.
When? It wasn't in the past four years or I'm retarded and didn't notice it. Probably the latter knowing me.

Definitely the latter, since I remember the post count VERY well. It was right under our avatars until Achronos took it out and either replaced it or put under it our join date (which he later removed).

I wouldn't mind seeing the join date being brought back to the forefront, but not post count. All a post count does (with this particular population) is give people incentive to create more, useless, posts.

Give mods a ban count!

A post count would create a bunch of spam posts by idiots who don't realize your post count does not equal your -blam!- size.

Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

There was a post count back in 2004, when the current forum software went up (I think... I know it was 2004, but not sure exactly what the update was). It only lasted a few days, from what I've noticed in the old archives, because many people just posted useless crap trying to get their postcount higher. It's worse than useless; it encourages spam.

If you read some of the old Septagon threads (and Underground, too), you can see the discussions of this.

I remember when most users would be like "Well, I have a higher post count than you, so STFU!"

Or "Well I've been here longer than you, so STFU!" (Join Dates being visible)




BTW, Ninja Ban Count FTW!

Personally, it wouldn't really help anything around here.

Honestly, I've made so many posts over the years here. Probably over 10,000, so it wouldn't really matter. Plus, with no post count, people aren't rushing to say "lol", "ok", or even (*le ghasp!*) "lol ok" just to get their precious post count up - like on the Nintendo forums, when I visited there for a little bit. You get "privelleges" there based on your post count... which is retarded.

But, uhh, anyway. It'd be useless for me, I've had a few accounts over the years, and they're all gone, except for this one (and Faucy).

No, if I could see how many post's I've made I think I'd scare myself!

I can't see this benefiting anything at all but I can see how it would make things worse hence it is a stoopid thing to add.

Achronos always knows best! [/kissass]

You people have just sent my sides into orbit. A bunch of MLG try hards sucking the dick of some supposed pro half the thread hasn't even heard of. Classic.

Sure why not? Then we can have something else that we would have to watch over and have people make threads that we are not doing enough about the abusers of it.

I am sorry I would definitely not want it back. We have enough to worry about now as it is.

Wow, well I guess it was before when I came here in July 04. I never knew we had that... strange. You'd think I would know that by now :D

Why would you want to see every single post of a member? That would just be confusing to manage by bungie.

So I think Jun's a master chef, because he takes off his helmet and your like whoa, I think he's a chef.

So to shorten this up, Jun is master chef.

We never had it, as many have already said.

No we should not have post count.

No. Why would we need that? Someone eventually would bash someone who had less post then them. Others would go around making threads saying ZOMG IM SO L33T I HAZ 5000 POSTS!!!11. And this would all happen on the first day.

I've been here longer than it says. I've been on the forums since about 8/06.

...Because when I first joined I could have swore that they did.


Unless you joined (or were lurking) in..... 2004? I think that is how long ago it was. It sure didn't last long, either way.


Sorry to bump this, but yes on my other account I joined right when Halo 2 came out. (Not exactly sure of date)And they had it the first month or two that i was here.
