Hehe. Post padding is cool. And what's wrong with having a post count?

This is why post counts should not be shown on forums...

Exactly my thought... Forums with this shown tend to have a great deal of fluff but little meat. Why, we even have threads dedicated to running up your post count. Sheesh.

And while this may seem inherently bad, it is vital to the survival of an online forum. Forums feed on teh post count numbers and so therefore, the more post counts the healthier and stronger the forum. Post padding threads are really started by the forum in an effort to sustain itself.

Well, if it's for the good of the forum then we have little choice, do we?

/points to Shrapnel Community >> Space Empires: IV & V. See, SE5 is included in this forum. Ergo, when it's released we'll (or at least I'll) still be using this forum. Unofficiality, baby!

That is exactly what is wrong with it...

No way... This forum "sustained itself" very well for years before the post padding threads started...

I think Fyron is just concerned about the possiblity of anyone beating his post counts http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

/me braces for incoming projectiles from Fyron's corner
