The post count is probably turned off. I've seen that happen on other forums. It's probably because the Fun and Games forum posts aren't "quality" posts. ;D

^Yes,I wasn't really surprised when I first came here and learned that the Fun and Games posts aren't counted,because I've been to a lot of forums and they do the same. And I agree,that they aren't 'quality' posts at all.

Yeah a lot of people who only care about getting their post count higher usually spam the fun and games posts. I've owned a couple Harry Potter boards in the past and people always spammed the fun and games section, so we ended up just turning the post count off in that section. I know a couple of other people who do that as well, I don't know if that's the reason why it is here. I belong to other forums besides this one where the fun and games are turned off.

But plenty of our posts are just "congratulations" or "I agree" which are hardly quality posts.

post count isn't really that important.

it's not like people are going to respect you more if you have the most posts.

I don't know, Aln certainly seemed to be well-respected while she was posting so much.

Well, that's not what I meant. I just mean that having the most posts isn't going to make you have any more authority then someone else. I think we have a pretty good system here, sort of an unspoken agreement of respect. Having a board with no moderators that has not fallen into anarchy is really quite amazing.
