Should Chit Chat Posts Be Counted In Final Post Count?
I def think they should, and I think i'm not alone in that feeling.

What's the point of a high post count? You don't really need it for anything.
Even if the discussions are "serious" they are not about adventure games.

Definitely not! It's bad enough that they counted so much of mine non-chit chat posts
This was already been said here for about a million times... the site is adventuregamers.com, and as long there's no talk about adventures, or games, it would be rather silly to count them, wouldn't it?

I don't think people really pay that much attention to post counts. (Or if they do, they shouldn't!)
There are a lot of people who have been members of this site for years and years, with very low post counts. Doesn't make them any less important in the eyes of the community. -emily |

well, obviously you shouldn't take any notice of the opinions of anyone with a post count of less than 250.
........oh bugger.

The one about french fries was a decent topic, at least compared to other ones...(you know which ones)

If anything, post counts should be disabled. They're just a silly distraction.

I actually pay more attention to the date someone registered than the post count to gauge their familiarity with the community, but even that is skewed because so many of us registered on the same day in September 2003. -emily |

Hmmm...could there not have been the option of "Dont mind either way"?
I dont think it matters in the scheme of things tbh. Whether you make 10 posts or 1000 posts; if they are valid points/discussions, you are just as important to this small community. Post counts always seem to get competitive (in a nice way). So no, I am not really too concerned whether they should be included or not (so I vote "No" for the record AF

And it is a good thing, that they don't pay attention to them, or they would notice that I harness the humogolous energy produced by their combined post counts, in order to power my secret Kitten machine of Doom, with which I will creat an army of fluffy killer kittens that are armed with exploding penguins, and will fulfill my plan to TAKE OVER THE WORLD! MWUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!! Um... Anybody want some Mint Humbugs? They are a lovely green colour. -
