Except that there are often posts you can't see, such as ones in the Staff Forum. Who bloody cares anyway? After the pruning, those counts will be completely different, and even now they don't count posts from previous incarnations of the board either. It really doesn't matter. *shrug*

There were other "tricks," such as looking at the memberlist or looking at the HTML source of a thread view (a user's post count is commented out below hiw or her location in every thread view), but now that everyone's post count has been reset to zero, that doesn't help.

Post counts don't matter anyway. What matters is that you make good contributions to the fora.
