Post count

[Rjeso]

Y'all are totally stepping on my thunder.

[Aaron]

Well, if you were playing either the DT quote game or the DT trivia game, the post will now count toward your post count. The games have been moved to a new sub-forum in The Manni Village called Come Commala, which is specifically for DT/SK games.

[B Rag]

Hmm... any way we can make it look like PBYG and PAYG are on-topic?

[Aaron]

Not a chance in hell.

[B Rag]

Not even if we slip in a few vague DT references once every few pages?

This is good.

hey man, you just gotta let it go.

[Aaron]

Nope, the topic requirements in that forum clearly state that they must be games that actually require thought and/or skill. And if those games make you think that much, then you might want to log off of the internet and work on finishing up that coloring book. Failing kindergarten is a shameful thing.

if all the people I have annoyed jumped simultaneously, there would be earthquake in China!

(looks like an idea for a new game thread. With different "ifs" for each round)

Sorry dude, I agree with the people in charge. This is a DARK TOWER site and post count should be based on DARK TOWER posts.

So it has nothing to do with whether or not the game is relevant to the Dark Tower?

And also, I don't see how "Who told who" requires any more thought/skill than Word Association or Person Below You Game.

If all the people I have annoyed on the net laid down in the street, you could probably see it from space. And I wouldn't be afraid to run over them when I pull out of my driveway.

For some reason that reminded me of that horrific scene in Hotel Rwanda when the guy is

I would think that the who told who thread requires more knowledge/memory of the books than the word association thread. And the Person below you game does not require dt references at all ... so there you have it.

[B Rag]

I know, but what I said was that they don't require any more thought and skill.

Why do people worry about post count anyway? I couldn't even tell you how many posts I have because I care so little. I just post in threads that interest me, and not worry as to wether or not it clicks a number up. I have never understood the fascination with post count.

[B Rag]

Well, I know postcount isn't really important, I just didn't want the number to be misleading.

[sarajean]

if anyone *really* needs to know what your post count is, they can view your post history, and at the bottom of the page, it shows:

Showing results 1 to 25 of 97

for you. so. there you go. it's very simple.

i honestly don't understand why this is still an issue.

Ditto. I can understand it when you need a certain amount of posts to have certain privileges, like on a couple of boards I go to, but otherwise I could care less. The different member titles are entertaining though, but that's all.

[Rjeso]

Yeah, I agree with ya, VttW. I actually belong to a board where post counts have been disabled. Since there are no special areas for people who have a higher post count, it gets rid of the "mine is bigger than yours" syndrome that's so common.

[Matt]

I thought about doing that here. It would talk a bit of code but mostly I just figured people could simply not worry about it.

I think, for the most part, that is true.

[fernandito]

WHAT?!f? BY THE GODS NO!! ANYTHING BUT MY POST COUNT!!!W65ASDDDXCASDDF

[She-Oy]

When I hear the words post count...I laugh, I laugh as I remember two particular people on tdt.net who had theirs in the mid 5-digit range...somethings just get ridiculous...LOL

[B Rag]

I wouldn't mind disabling post count. That, or (dare I say it) disabling Odd's Lane, or making everything count. I just don't like the idea of a post count that doesn't include all posts.

[Matt]

I totally understand that b rag but I believe you are in the minority on this issue.

The majority just basically ignores post count and I hate to turn it off for the whole board in light of that.

If I disable all of Odd's Lane, then the riddles won't count and they really should. I guess it was basically the best compromise we could come up with.

The board is going to stay how it is for now and we will address this in the future if it becomes an issue.
