No I think it's stupid to care about post counts. (How can that intimidate members? Really, it's just a number) I don't even RP, and don't care if people have a ton of posts because they RP. Why does anyone care? Why bother having Mufasa change the way things are?Quote:

aye I'm not botherd about posts but I'm gonna stick with Fu on this one.
Being intimidate by a post number :lol:.....yeah right ok
I don't care about my post count really so if this is done, I have no problem. That's great to hear that the RP forums are staying open also.
:cheese:
I think the other point on post counts is, that I remember a very long time ago, that some members were really upset because their post count changed.
Mufasa even made the post counter invisible back then.
Well, if it intimidate new members, I cant understand why really since its just a number... just because someone posted more then you doesnt mean your less worth or anything
Well people with higher post counts don't intimidate me. And my post count doesn't bother me.
Isn't it also normal, that when you are a new member, you got (for example) 1 post, and someone who's been here already has got 10.000 or so?
Don't really understand why that we be intimidating.
Speaking of this...
I did receive a PM from Kago last night saying that the reason he called me "Your majesty" was because he thought I was at an higher rank for some reason (maybe with post count and all). I kept telling him that he never had to call me that and he could just call me 'KS' for short.
:confused:
Yea, I saw that. I thought he was just saying that cause he was being nice or something:confused:
When I first joined, the only people I saw saw as "higher ranking" was the Mods and Admins.:uhno:
Or maybe because of your nick "king". :)
Maybe. :ayecapn:Quote:

I've had quite a few comments on TLKFAA with something along the lines to "your majesty" included in the comment.

Some might take it like that.
Others think your male.
*lol*
About the post count being intimidating;
A new member'll join, and see people with 5, 000, 10, 000 or however many posts, and high post counts give of the impression of a close society, where people are and have been friends for a long long time. They'd feel that it'll be hard for them to get accepted, and so be shy.
Also, the problem with seeing high post counts is the feeling that your post'll be lost in the sea of posting.
*shrugs*
So that's a "no" to postcounts in RPing.
ok then i suggest that also Scars Lair, Upendi and the Swamp go the same way if thats going to be the case.
To be honest, I see no point in stopping post being counted in both Scar's Lair and The Swamp. Upendi, possibly.
I totally agree with you Neph. That's what I felt when I first joined if I should stick with the truth.Quote:

But I don't see the reason why we should stop with the post counting in the Swamp, Upendi and Scar's lair. If that's what's going to do, then we could close all post counting at all!
That happens on every single forum.
People who are there for a long time, will *logicaly* have more posts then new members.
Hmm thats *logicaly* I agree. But post counting have its bad sides like Neph mentioned.
Personally I don't see the problem what so ever....
