We already know that from our old-I-Club days. Slowly but surely the ghost of Nick seeps in. Isn't this how member disgruntledness started over there? Mysteriously lost post counts... then purposely altered post counts... then people just not giving an ish anymore about what they post... then outright fascist SubieGal clones goosestepping through the forums.
OK, so I have a flair for the dramatic

post count loss on the old site wasn't a huge issue. It was the harsh moderation by some mods for personal reasons, instead of them doing their job for forum reasons. But all that was taken care of eventually. OT posts weren't counted when i joined, and regional ones were also dropped fairly soon after. It's just a post count. a number.
But i can see your point Jason. to some extent, i agree too. but we'll see what happens.

this is a good method to determine whether those who posted frequently in the past posted out of interest or with the avatar in mind. for me, not getting a tally for my general non-sensical posts doesn't bother me.

OK, I'm all for not rewarding post ****** and all, but there are a few of us who do contribute - especially on the local level, without nessesarily always posting to technical forums.
There aren't a lot of ways for the club to recognize or reward contributors, other than silly little things like the avatars, so while by itself the avatar is not a big deal- in reality nothing here is a big deal, so even a little deal like a tiny picture has some value for us socially challenged, obsessive, compulsive, rally-geek types.
I have organized some dozen or so TSD rallies and drives over the last couple of years- sure, sometimes I wound up driving them alone, but I've also gotten quite a few of you guys out and turned on to aspects of subie driving that are fun alternatives to the few annual events the club engages in.
That's a lot more work than posting a bunch of things to a technical message board- and by the way- are technical posts being screened for accuracy?
I mean, what's the point of rewarding contributors to the technical forums if the "contribution" is a string of ignorant nooby questions or even a lot of bad advice?
I wasn't bustin' for it, but I though it would be nice to get an avatar someday.......
but now with only 7 "approved" posts in over a full year, I probably won't live long enough to post 555.
don't miss next week in "as the forum turns"........
will we find out if pork chop and outferno are long lost twins?
will raazin come up with another tag line?
will anyone at all come out for psopers rally?
I guess its time we all get a life.

Once again,
The post count is not lost. I can still see how many OVERALL posts you guys have. I just do not want people racking up wroring posts just to get an avatar. That is not fair and it promotes whoring. I do not like or want that around here.
What I did is still work in progress. I am trying diff hacks for the Vbulletin right now. They will make you all happy.

I don't see the big deal about having an avatar.
eg. nasioc - nobody has avatars
clubsi - everyone has avatars
The whole reason people started PW was because you had to "earn" it.

and don't miss a 2-hour special in BAIC's episode...(2 hours may not even be enough for all the whining, sarcasms, and "i'm bigger, smarter, car is faster, better" bull$hit mentality, maybe we'll cut the commercials from raazin's cheers&ENJOY shirts and fruit juice)
"When jerkoffs get over their egos as they humble themselves."
stay tuned....
