We're talking about posts.

Blade-Edge is unfortunately close to me in terms of post counts... And I'd hate to encourage posting in spam-like ways as a competition. So keep in mind that while I do have a lot of posts, I never post without plenty of reason.

Understood!

Passions about post counts seem to be running very high and generating a lot of hostility.  In the interest of community harmony, I am closing this topic.

I feel that certain elements of the community have become obsessed with the post counts recently and that it is leading to a lot of unnecessary posts.  Closing the topic might help people focus on the original purpose of the forums - sharing useful information.

I also have been receiving a lot of reports about unfriendly behavior and arguments from that particular topic and I am tired of cleaning it up.  So, like any other topic that becomes too much of a maintenance problem, I closed it.

It was not caused by any one person or set of actions but rather the cumulative result of a series of small actions.  So nobody is to blame except me.

=== Later ===

Okay, I've had some time to clean up the most recent flames from this topic.  We'll try it open again.  Please treat each other with politeness and respect at all times.  Spam posts are considered disrespectful to the community as a whole - please make sure your posts are exchanging useful information.  If you want to play games with forums, we have the TBG forums for that.

I think the main reason he reopened it was because of popular demand, actually.

Prove me wrong. 

Eh, I don't care about my post count. ^_^ In the TBG, I actually want a low post count - the day it passes my Scratch one (don't know if it'll happen) will be a sad day. 

Of course, I'd rather pass people than be passed...

They never listen when I give the warning!!!        

This is at least the sixth time we've had to give a warning. >_>

Keep up the chatty posts and I'll report this topic to be closed, okay? If the chattyness continues, I will, I really will!

Hmm... it was coolstuff's turn to update today. But he didn't - so I'll go ahead and update.

Over 100 pages of what?

Only 34 for me.

99 posts to go XD

  And you passed 5 people.

I'm ahead of 2 (I think) mods. 

Has anyone seen Ace today?  I didn't see any of his posts. How many people does he pass on average?
