    Default Post count, yay

    Can't say this is an original idea, RSL was the first one to do it a long time ago, but he had a good idea. Could an Admin set my post count to 0 please?

    What would that do for you? Just curious.
    Knock yourselves down.

    Just to show post counts don't matter, I guess. Plus it's easier to blend in, so to speak. Keeps people honest.

    Like, forever to 0, or start back over?

    I'd hate for you to get deleted in one of our many cleansweeps of zero post members.

    Just start back over would be good.

    EDIT: Thank you Sean.

    This is what I came to this forum to post a question about, and then I saw this topic. That's interesting. It makes the top 25 list of posters look so empty, without you, Dr Unne.

    Actually, the most disturbing part is the fact that you can "search for all posts by user" and come up with a huge number, but it says you've only posted 4 times. Your post per day count is 0.00.

    I'm not sure how exactly it helps you blend in, though, since *most* people know you, and I think it will just make your real total post count even more legendary.

    Pfft, no. Spuuky's right, I think; the real Unne total post count will be even more legendary now. The one that he arranged to get changed. :rolleyes2

    I also agree with Spuuky that the list of top posters looks horrendously empty without Unne's presence. It's horrible. It's like banning the words "peace" and "trout" from use on the fora.

    Oh, wait. That's already been done, too. :mog:

    Peace

    Why do people look at that top 25 posters thing anyways? It doesn't matter. It's pointless. If people don't know me by who I am rather than by some number attached to my name, then I don't want to be known.

    I guess it's a sign of how active one has been on the fora. I think it's a rather pointless stat, myself, though I do like to marvel at how many posts I have compared to veterans who have been here for many years.

    OOC:Nah, not yet. Maybe when I'm the highest poster with like 5500 posts I'll think about it. There's only nine people in front of me now if you don't count Unne anymore. Besides, my post count will climb back up to where it is now in like two months anyway, if my current posting rate keeps up.

    Peace
