As many of you have already noticed, we just had a minor update to the forums here at Bungie.net. The "post count" is no longer being displayed next to user avatars. This has been debated around here for a while and we decided it was more trouble than it was worth. Even though it had no real purpose, many people thought there was a secret rank or reward they could earn if they posted enough so it just resulted in a lot of spam and worthless posts. It's gone forever.

The other thing you'll notice is that there are now a lot more posts being displayed per page - 2.5x more to be exact. This should hopefully make it a little easier to move through the forums and keep track of discussions.

We are constantly evaluating ways to improve our site and we have more updates planned for the weeks ahead. Thanks to everyone for a great launch week and please feel free to share your suggestions and ideas over in the Septagon.

Makes sence of course but it's a shame to see the count go.
Anyway i'm glad the page was expanded. Them stickys were taking up a bit too much room.

Good update. I like being able to see more topics

With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.

Good update... Although the post count was kind of interesting (mainly because the newer folk have a MUCH higher post count than the people that have been here for a while)... I can see why it causes problems, though. Nothing is worse than a post boaster...

Yeah, a lot of people would brag about that thing, and I don't like bragers. Keep up the excellent work Bungie staff.

Like iBonks old Hell? I think not.

Btw. Its best to ask for mod status over AIM in any forum (not to be insulting).
Of course, I have no shame in asking. AIM: ONISec3. I will not advertise further.

Most BBS have posters who believe more posts means they have more knowledge and deserve more respect. Since we know this is not the case, removing the counter is a simple and elegant solution. We are all equals after all.

This is the first board I've seen that advocates using a spell checker! I love that!
