I'm just an average punter whose only been on here for 5 years, but I am often bemused why forum administrators (not just on here) tend to meddle with basic forum stuff like this. The status quo, is the status quo, and as far as I can see its been like this for years and years and years, so I do not seen what's changed (in the last 5 years at least) to warrant a change. And I'm sure that this isn't a case of change-for-change-sake thing.
You sort of answered your own question there mate
eh? So are you saying:
a) You're meddling?
b) Something's changed recently which justifies this?
c) It really is a change-for-change-sake change?
So if it's
a) and c) they aren't really justifiable - unless Ric says so
b) Would you care to explain (for me as I appear to have missed it)

I suspect you're right Rasc. Probably check the member list several times a day too and sort it into order by number of posts so that they can see how far up the list they are. Must give them a warm fuzzy feeling for some reason.
So how come you two are here so vehemently defending the decision when neither of you post with any regularity at all?
Personally I couldn't give a fuck about my own post count and I dare say that most of the others who have a problem with them being removed do so not because they are arsed about their own post counts.
Also out of interest what purpose does Rascal pointless dig at posters who he has a problem with and your agreeing with him actually serve in the discussion.
The lack of question mark implies a rhetorical question btw as I don't really care that much.

No I'm saying that as you say, nobody makes a change for change sakes and as you say, you haven't seen anything that's changed but also as you say, this doesn't preclude something else from changing that you may not have noticed.
The forum has dramatically changed in attitude over the past 12 months. Dramatically. And it's been noted by very many people both former members and still current members. One of the issues was the attacking of members who had a low post count. This issue has now all but disappeared.
I've said in previous weeks and months that things were going to have to change because we're killing ourselves as a community and I'd like this to be the first step of many in that direction. People cannot be trusted to not be cunts to each other by request so we will have to solve the problem technologically.
Let's not forget that we had a big sticky in the Transfer Forum about this exact issue and it was completely ignored.

Actually I said it had become a less pleasurable read since June hence nothing at all to do with the post count, try reading before postingWhy do you think it is going be a less pleasurable read if there are no post counts?
Personally I have found the forums more pleasurable since the change over from the old layout and I can't see having no post count displayed affecting it negatively at all. In fact it might give some people on low post counts, more confidence to join in and contribute to the forum without having their views disparaged based on the number of posts they have made.
Oh and thanks for putting words in my post that I hadn't, it's always a pleasure to converse with someone who has the knack of putting me right over something I haven't said.

As I said before, if a consensus is wanted, why not run a poll rather than have 6 people repeat their points?[/QUOTE]
I think we want it to be more like the transfer forum

Very precious about this aren't you petal.
And yet it's you that has about three posts per page on the topic.
Brain the size of a planet?
I get your reasoning, but I definitely preferred having the post count visible when viewing a thread. Being a member with a (relatively) low post count myself, I've never encountered any problems with it and I have never received any shit for it. So yeah, I want them back.
Interesting that most of the members who want the post count back are those that berate and accuse other members of being WUMS, Flappers, KFA, and their fav one RAGS; based, in the most part, on a users post count. We could all call other members Rags a 1000 times to up our post count doesnt mean there is any substance to what we have to say, conversley just because someone has a low post count it doesnt mean that they dont have anything relevant to add or their opinion is any less valid than those with 1000s of posts. Sadly it seems that there is an elitist group of users on here that think a high post count makes them some sort of demi god, It doesnt. The easiest way to solve that problem is to have no post count displayed!
