It's still gonna be thoughtless and/or garbage.

Dimboy2 will see to it so that there will be.

There are a large number of people who sign up at the forums when they start playing yet start using the forums a lot later on, check the members list and look at how many people there are with 0 or 1 posts

But if you see someone start a really dumb thread, and see the join date as December 2004, then obviously it's a new player. Half the people with no posts probably don't even play Trench Wars anymore.

It really doesnt matter to me either way. I didnt post to get my post count up. I posted because I was bored during my spare at school. twforums was/is a means to keep me entertained

"I killed the silly little post counter on the forums. Blame yourselves for filling the forums full of thoughtless garbage. -DoCk>"

BEST CHANGE EVER

[Edify]

it was from the idiots who kept posting (join the 2000 club or the 3000 club)
no offense, fit. :grin:

This will cut down on the spam. A lot of the people on the forums posted anything just to get that +1 post count(You know and they know who they are). Good change :up:

I already did it before you asked. It looks too weird without a number.

Hopefully this will make it a little harder to see who's new to the forums and so everyone's opinions might get treated a bit more equally

But the rate of new members to the forum isn't that significant, and most of the regulars would know who's posts to respect and who's not to already. Our mindset is already fixed, and removing post count isn't gonna do anything about that mentality. Saying this, I'm definitely not against removing post count. Maybe we should add something else there to personalize each person's profile.

yeah it does kind of look bland.

Random ideas I got from other forums.

1. Allow avatars, a change of user title to users who have been around for an x amount of days/months/years, etc*

2. Allow people who have been registered for an x amount of days to be able to have a picture in their signature (probably no larger than height: 50 pixels, length: 200 pixels, jpeg format)

3. Put the exact join date of the player instead of the month/year? Maybe some sort of ranking system even?

Example: 1 month - TW Pubber, 6 months - Elimmer, 1 year - TWD Player, etc*

And a last idea, would be for 1 and 2. After say, 6 months, 1 is allowed, and then 1 year, 2 is allowed.

Just for example, if you're looking for more 'personalization' don't hold me to any of the timers or amounts.

edit: without the post counter, in some respects, you can't tell how active/inactive one user is when you see them post. I think the players who spam the forums with a load of crap (the reason of the counter being removed) are now just gonna be better hidden cause you can't see how many posts they've done out front.

I think you're missing the point that how long people have been on these forums does not matter. Why create another way for people to think they're more superior than others just because they've been around longer?
