Post count adjustments

Just so everyone knows what has happened to your post count. Posts made in The Lounge will no longer count towards your post count. The total number of each user's existing posts in the lounge have been subtracted from their post count. Accordingly, some of you may notice your post count is decreased. Please do not begin posting crap in non-lounge threads just to bump your post count or I will reset your post count to 0.

Instead people will post their meaningless threads in the other forums

Is it really that big of a problem? Do people gauge responses based on post count either high or low?

It's a dam' good idea, and move, Big-K. Those of us who get off-topic in non-lounge threads should get a kick in the ass, as well. The other side of that coin is that those who post technical questions in the lounge should have the posts moved to the appropriate thread. There are plenty of "misc" forums.

I say it's a good move. This is, after all, programmingforums.org, not letschatup100postsaboutnothing.org
