I don't want to count when they could just make a counter.
Ya, and then that would increase activity because everyone would want to raise their post counter even higher! It's brilliant!
But wait...high post count doesn't mean high intelligence does it? Hmm, perhaps adding a post counter would only increase the amount of Spam and other crap on these Forums. That could present a problem don't you think?
Not really, im just interested in seeing how active i am. And seeing some of the cool and zany threads I have posted in. And see how many posts some people have.
I wasn't talking about you personally. But people in general aren't very smart. Many people will judge their own popularity and other's popularity by the number of posts. So, in order to become better recognized, these people would post things that are completely stupid. For example:
Me: So, I have this problem with my computer where it randomly won't start up. I don't think it's a virus, do you guys have any ideas?
Poster: Haha, you're dumb!
Me: I appreciate your helpful criticism but I don't think that's exactly what I'm looking for.
Poster: Omigosh you are such a n**b!
Poster: Look at him! His compooter broke!
Me:......................
Poster: Waaaaaah!
That is where I see the Forums going (if we haven't already reached that point) if a post counter goes into effect. More jerks, less intelligence and an all around worse community that the really intelligent people won't want to be a part of.
