Post counts

Aug 31, 2009#1

Dave

Okay, I can't get rid of post counts easily. In fact, you have to edit the style templates to do so. Since we haven't decided on how we're going to handle the styles yet, I'm not going to do that.

But I can and did turn off the post counts from getting any higher. You can still see them, but they won't ever get any bigger. I'll stay right where I'm at as will you guys. Once we figure out which style(s) we're sticking with then we'll alter the template and nobody will see them again.

I guess this means no more rogues gallery?

Oh well, once post counts are unlocked (but hidden) again, the "regular rogues" will be up in the gallery again.

You guys keep saying about the Rogue's Gallery. Is there a link to that or are you just calling it that and looking at the top posters?

The Rogue's Gallery was funny and I loved it, but I have seen too many times where people thought that their posts mattered more because they had more posts and I've also seen too many people coming in and saying, "Well, I would have posted sooner, but as the new guy..."

Aug 31, 2009#21

Shegokigo

I've been one of the biggest "anti-post counter" people around, but at least having a "record" of the higher posters is nice. The number wasn't important but having a little "rogue's gallery" was fun.

Aug 31, 2009#22

North_Ranger

Um... actually I was being serious.

Would there be some other way we could set up the Rogues' Gallery? You know, NOT with postcounts? ^_^

By voting, of course.

We have tons of polls. Each poll contains a certain number of forumites. Top vote-winner gets to be in the next Rogues Gallery.

So now instead of people padding their post counts, we'll have people campaigning for others to like them!

Popularity contests? We back to High School again? Can I be the angsty teen girl who dresses in black and broods behind the bleachers while making fun of the cheerleading squad, even though I'm secretly sleeping with 2 of them?

Well, I started with Calleja as a joke and can't tell him yes and everyone else no. If there's other requests I'll do them as I get time. Those following @Halforums on Twitter know what I'm up against today.

Once I decide which styles we're going to keep we'll be getting rid of them as I'll start editing templates.

Post Count Rule 34:

Count Richard Constantine strode through the large front doors of his mansion, pulling off his riding gloves as he did. His boots clapped sharply against the hardwood floor, as drops of sweat beaded and fell from his brow, dripping heavily against his muscled chest.

"Welcome back, m'lord," said his maid, Sophie, curtsying before him. "Did you have a pleasant ride?"

"Very pleasant, yes," Count Richard replied, noting Sophie's slender waist and swelling breasts, threatening to burst through the confinement of her bodice.

"Can I offer you some refreshment?" Sophie asked.

The Count leered at Sophie and said, "You can refresh my post!" And then he dropped his breeches...
