Is it time to turn off post counts for the whole forum?
It seems like they are actually a concern for some folks. They don't matter at all to me, except for post count joke opportunities. I think it'd be better if that stat disappeared entirely just to eliminate any heartache in the post count debate.

WW threads were moved to a seperate forum and all posts past and future in them no longer count toward user post counts.

I voted the first option, because what I would like wasn't quite represented there (it was closest).

I would suggest (if this is possible) that posts be counted up to 1,000, so we can see who the new posters are, but then when it hits 1,000, it disappears or is replaced by MAX or something like that. Maybe have a title change at that point, too (Grizzled Vet, I guess).

Only Jeeber's posts should be counted. His records will never be broken unless steroids and other illegal supplements become a significant factor in the distant future.

All posts north of "Non-FOF Discussion" count as one post. All posts south of "Non-FOF Discussion" count as 3/5* of a post.

I think that post counts shouldn't be shown, but then again, the bitching about how "people lost posts!!!1!1!" due to the WW thing is fairly humorous.

But if you decide to eliminate them, at least wait until I hit 10,000...so I do care after all!

How about taking off the default subscribe option to every post we make? THAT sucks.

If I want to subscribe, I will click it... don't take that option from me. I likes me freedom.
