How alfa-stereotypical...take something that's utterly stupid and turn it into a point of dispute. I'd say let anybody whine all they like about postcounts and ignore it like the childish prattle it is, a fit over something that doesn't really mean anything. Its not like those umpteen-thousand posts were an actual sign of anything real, you big baby.

I don't think some of you could be more childish if you tried. Post-count chest thumping like it's a badge of honor is your measure of contribution to this project? Jebus. Who gives a damn if the new site and forums are running fast and smooth if you can't point to your post count to prove how knowledgable, profound and superior you are.

Most useless Alfa complaint... eva.

I haven't modified any code so far, and I won't start now. We only add modules to add stuff, never modify any code. Because doing so makes it horrible every time there's an upgrade to on any backend. I'm so glad I'm in charge of this stuff so nobody are allowed to make such mistakes. :smirk:

Electryc coming on the forums to get his post count up? You never had a high count to begin with silly cause you spent all that free time DMing and building content for the slackers who spammed the threads so much you rarely saw them in-game. :P

Luv ya E ;)

I spend(t) 95% ingame compared to 5% in here checking my emails and server forums. Now that I am a slacker the ratio has reversed. :doh: I wouldnt call people who help maintain this site slackers, it's their jobs to live here. The 'slackers' are the ones who live in here and it isnt their job, demand change from alfa, troll to create drama, yet have no vested intrest ingame. Im not saying it's the original guy who began this thread. I know for a fact he is very active (or was at least) in TSM. It's those other folks *points about* who need to find another website and find a nice comfey bridge to live under. BTW My soapbox rant isnt just directed at this thread.

Interesting post Elec.., congrats on both doing and complaining about the exact same thing.

Shouldn't have to. You never had the right to do it in the first place.

If Vendrin liked his post count and found it meaningful, who is anyone else to say how he should feel about it. Get real.

Read the god damn thread before you post.

While measuring one's worth in the community by raw post count is a bit absurd, there is some value in post counts as a way for new members to quickly recognize the replies and posts that are coming from people who have been active in the community for years.

Similarly, cutting someone's post count to zero seems to me a rather immature response to the topic, and is needlessly disrespectful.

I'm not too bothered one way or another, but it seems agreement was reached, so this thread no longer serves a purpose.
