[j-rodd123]

like what other sites literally have subforums where they disable post counts, let alone a site with such a small community. people gotta protect their chit chat post counts obv

[ItsOnlyDanO]

I guess from that perspective it's strange

There you go I voted yes

[j-rodd123]

honestly idk why im going so hard in this thread because at the end of the day i don't care so much, i just like winning so ill keep being immature and stubborn

[Arch0wl]

I voted yes

the reason against counting TGB is that the posts are low-quality, it's easy to post a bunch and so on

I'm going to take "quality" to mean things like detailed writing, elaboration of viewpoints, providing reasons for why you believe something, etc.

in practice, the difference between chit chat and tgb is minimal. people use slightly more hesitant wording here, but that's about it. (also, tgb should be a private forum you can get auto-added to when your account reaches 4 months of age, there is way too much groupthink when someone feels like they can be voted off the island)

so all of the reasons against counting tgb posts don't hold up. the vast majority of the posts on this forum are low quality, so you're basically restricting posts on the basis that one bag of garbage smells slightly better than another

I would just like to say if it's retroactively added to our total I'd like to be unable to see my past posts because of shame really

I like how there's no option for "Activate one, but not the other."

I'm all for activating TWG post counts, but I don't care about TGB's.
I see it like level ranks/token ranks: Public songs/forums (TWG) count, "private" songs/forums (TGB) don't.

Ya I sort of made it fast and didn't include those but it's like 18-6 in favour of yes factoring in the alts

[mellonxcollie]

i just wanna know how many posts we actually have ._. why does it matter even if they were posted in a private forum?

Oh cool apparently I've got ~6500 then

[blindreper1179]

6852 with this post holy shit

[mellonxcollie]

woah this is awesome!! I was expecting mine to be a bit more inflated than 1643 but this actually mostly gets rid of my issue. as long as I can see my own accurate post count and all of my posts i don't really care

[Charu]

7309 posts here, ayooooooooooooooooooooooo

[j-rodd123]

real vote is at 21-9 so i mean it's kind of not as close as i thought it was at the beginning

[Arntonach]

Disable post counts, then we won't have any problems ever.

[j-rodd123]

i like it

[justin_ator]

No reason not to count them.

Who the hell really cares, post counts are pointless (!)

(I honestly don't see why this matters either way, but clearly someone cares and thinks it should, so why not)
