It seems to be working okay as it is at the moment. Leave it be.As mentioned at the time, this was just a trial to see whether post counts were needed or added anything to the forum, or if they were even detrimental.
Now that we've had a few months without them I thought it would be useful to see what the general consensus is.
Would people prefer to see them reinstated, or are we better off without them? Or is nobody really bothered either way?

Not needed just adds to ego trips for some.

Click on the username; a small window will come up showing that member's post count.Removing them makes the forum less interesting and it certainly helped me evaluate the posters credentials but I'm not about to leave if you don't give them back.

If you can do that then why remove them from view in the first place?Click on the username; a small window will come up showing that member's post count.

That's something you'd need to ask Ric or Damocles. I can't speak for them. For me, seeing a member's post count on the main forum isn't that important, others (like you) will disagree. Fair enough. I'm not going to fall out with anyone over it.If you can do that then why remove them from view in the first place?

I'd rate this post as 2.6 times as important as Karen's.

You could equally ask, if you can do that, then why put them back ? Its hardly difficult to do.If you can do that then why remove them from view in the first place?

No need to remove them in the first place

I didn't hide them, and wasn't bothered either way, so my opinion on it was neutral, I was just responding to your question. If you are that desperate to know how many posts a user has, then its easy to find out, personally I couldn't care less, I'll judge the poster on the content of their posts.But why hide them in the first place if we can still see them?

The reasoning was that you'd have to actively look to find them. The hope was that posts would be judged on their merit, rather than any pre-conceptions based on the user's post count. Another consideration was some users posting meaningless shit just to boost their post counts.

I think this has been quite a success personally.
