Well I used to think post count would be nice but after posting my opinion in the wishlist thread a couple of people made some valid points about how people would make worthless topics and replies to get a higher post count and stuff. I was interested in other peoples opinions.

It was once here, it's not here anymore, there was a reason for that. So, in conclusion from my extensively long post, I come up with a maybe, and that maybe is only redeemable if you're the only person who can see your post count.

I did hear about there once was one, but I never heard a solid reason why they got rid of it.

It caused too much trouble, members would be posting just to get a high post count in the hopes that they would be regarded as "cool," or that they would get some sort of reward. Then the issue came up of relevant posts versus non-relevant posts. They said posts should be meaningful and that they should add to the topic at hand. All sorts of arguments spawned off of that, so they decided to get rid of it altogether. The story went something like that.

Summed up by Shishka right below me.

I think post count is a bad thing because it leads to eliteism.

And you know what happens when we all succumb to the disease of elitism? We all grow extra mandibles, lose a couple of fingers, have an uncontrollable desire to exterminate humanity and start saying things like "wort, wort wort".

The horror, the horror.
