Re: Suggestion - Post Counts
 

I am the only one who thinks all this removing posts counts and age is beyond ridiculous? I mean it seems to me we are solving a problem that doesn't exist. Waste of time if you ask me. The problem isn't post counts or age it is idiots and morons and not a one of them will not be an idiot or moron simply because age and post counts are gone.

Nope - I'm with you on this one. That said, now that they are gone, I wouldn't waste the effort to bring them back.

I assume that removing the post counts from the display is as easy as clicking a button. I highly doubt Matty had to expend any effort to make it happen.

If it did take effort, I hope you didn't go to that much trouble Matty.

Re: Suggestion - Post Counts
 

Removing them took a quick code edit, nothing that couldn't be restored in about 3 seconds.

Re: Suggestion - Post Counts
 

Now that you've listened to that request Matty, how about changing the posting time back to twenty seconds even though I just recently asked (because I'm a douchebag).

Not the effort but more the actual discussion. And yes I see the irony.

I'll give you credit for being persistent.

Re: Suggestion - Post Counts
 

:doh:

I'll just try again when you're in a good mood.

Maybe some Louisville cheerleader pics will cheer you up. ;)

How could they not?

Re: Suggestion - Post Counts
 

Here's a scenario where a person may not be cheered up after looking at those pictures....

[I]Hey, my daughter is a cheerleader at Louisville. I think I'll take a look at these pics to see if I've met this one before. Doo-dee-doo....{surfing the Internet, connecting to website where pictures are posted}.... Ah, here we go......HONEY! Get your coat we're going to Kentucky.[/I]

im right there with you

Re: Suggestion - Post Counts
 

[quote=Mattyk72;268710]Ok let's give it a try, post counts have been removed but you can still [B]see them in a user's profile[/B].[/quote]

then what is the point? if someone is looking and want to know why not just keep them under the avatar?

Re: Suggestion - Post Counts
 

I don't know, I think it's going to take a little getting used to but I prefer it without the post count posted in plain view...

I know I always felt like I should be posting more when I noticed that I had been a member much longer than others who doubled or tripled my post count. I like to stay quiet unless I feel I have something useful to add, but not everyone feels likewise. I believe that not having a post count takes away from the mentality where some are tempted to post as often as possible in order to gain status on the board in lieu of building reputation through quality of posts.

[quote=Schneed10;268850]Hooskins is 19 and he makes excellent points. I don't pay attention to age either. I just get to know each poster based on their opinions and respect them for that. I don't see why age would matter.

Besides, Pwned is WAAAY beyond his 14 years. Plus, have you ever been to LOLZ!!!1? There's some expensive real estate there.[/quote]

Why thank you.

And for the suggestion, I personally liked the post count because it made me feel like I was a baller. But I also understand everyones concerns about it and I think it is a good thing to try out.

Dude those pictures were freaking amazing. Totally made my day when I saw em.

Re: Suggestion - Post Counts
 

I personally like displaying my age because most people doubt me, but when we actually have discussion it blows their mind a 19 year old knows alot about the Redskins.

I kinda like going with the dumb front (aka all my Parking Lot posts) and then utter PWNAGE in the Locker Room to catch people off guard. I am like that sorority girl that you dated because she lost a bet, and then she broke up with you after you bought her a gift....

Re: Suggestion - Post Counts
 

Are you sure you're not the guy who dates the sorority girl who lost the bet, then broke up with her when she starts to fall for you?

Re: Suggestion - Post Counts
 

I noticed the post counts are back. Did we decide it's not working?

Re: Suggestion - Post Counts
 

now that they are back, i kind of missed them

Re: Suggestion - Post Counts
 

I guess I missed them too

Re: Suggestion - Post Counts
 

[quote=Mattyk72;270647]I guess I missed them too[/quote]

LOL

You just needed to see the big number to keep your ego from deflating!

I kid, I kid. It was worth a shot, but the impact may have been so minor, so in the end, whatever.

[COLOR="White"]+1 again now that it counts.[/COLOR]

Re: Suggestion - Post Counts
 

Actually I was working on that template and I had to revert it to the original, I just didn't go back and take out the post counts again.
