Massive e-penis circumcision.
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

Heh, wonder if this affected Snail much... :doubt:

EDIT: Not that I want it to.  Actually, post count doesn't really add much, except perhaps credibility to newbies coming in looking for help... which is prolly why Gen Disc got nuked as far as post count goes.

I think the General Discussion not counting for postcount has been moved back to the creation of the forum, that's where all the posts went ;)

Why was this done?
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

Cause it makes more sense not to count them at all rather than not counting them from some arbitrary date.

As for why they shouldn't count in gen dis at all, let me put it this way. The only tangible value of keeping track of post counts is to allow newbies to instantly tell who is a voice of authority within the community (avatars and badges being another). But if you only post on gen dis you probably aren't. Regardless of whatever your post count is, you probably don't pay that much attention to FS2.

You can always find your own post count fairly easily from last posts or your profile anyway.

I kind of wondered why they just cut off after a certain date anyway.

Doesn't matter to me. I know what I've done and what I know. People who have been here a while know who I am anyways.

I think a better way to tell who is more important around here is a clear indication of the date registered and time active statistics.
Fun while it lasted.

Aldo has been gone for a while, and I don't think he'll be back. What a shame.......

Probably because your nuked postcount got unnuked somehow during this change.
