I think post count and stars and the nickname thing shouldn’t exist, or should be hidden.  People post stupid things with no thought or anything behind them, simply to get their post count and stars up.  It’s like some sort of internet popularity contest.  Also the fact that there is no "reputation" button makes it worse.

Look at it like this.  I’m sure you all have heard of reddit and 4chan.  Well reddit has user names and a karma point system which everyone can see.  People post things simply to raise their karma points, and it inevitably decreases the quality of the postings.  Look at 4chan, while it may be somewhat harder to find things of quality as it’s a lot less organized,  there is absolutely no point system and no user names.  It’s totally anonymous, and for this reason, there ends up being some serious and REAL conversations and discussions. 

If we didn’t have a visible post count or stars on the forum, people wouldn’t be so inclined to post mindless drivel, as it would be totally pointless. 

RIGHT ON TIMEBOMB!!! HELL YEAH111

100 posts? Well that was fast!

Congrads!

Hell to the yeah Dan. You da man!!

I’m not saying don’t say hi to people, but the fact that you made a thread about your post count, and then posted "105 and growing" shows me that you are watching your post count and treating it as if it means something.  It doesn’t mean too much when half your post are one-liners.  Keep in mind I’m not trying to be an asshole, just throwing my opinion in.  I’m in no way taking a personal stab at you or anyone else, just stating my observations.  I’ve seen it happen plenty of places.  I also don’t care if I’m the one that nobody likes for saying the shit that I do, long as I don’t get banned or something.  Remember, I’m only trying to help, even if I sound like a douche! 😛

No, I couldn’t care less how many posts you have.  It obviously matters to you; why else would you post a thread in the announcements section to let the whole forum know that you have 100 posts?

U mad bro?
