Since everyone likes to compete, we should keep track of our # of posts on the team stats page. I know that sounds really dumb, and it's probably not worth the work, but I thought I should mention my idea anyways.

I got the idea when I saw that Shaktai has almost the same # of posts as I do, but i started over a year before him! And that Scott and I started at about the same time, but he as 3x the # of posts as I do!

Just kidding here Ski, but have you ever though you might be a litte slow?
Then again you might be a really deep thinker that make really intelligent statements when you speak.
Naw, must be the slow thing, 'cause your always behind me.

Hmm... I don't like this idea. It encourages mindless posting. People should gain respect from the quality of their posts... not the quantity. Having a post count competition encourages people to post anywhere and everywhere, just to get their post count to rise.

Remember omac in the lounge? 500 posts in less than a month. It was horrible, you should have seen the topics he was creating.

Why would we dothis? We already have a post count right at the side ofany window.

AI discontinued use of post counts at the beginning because people would post to post instead of to arghue or share infro.

I forgot about the concept of quality over quantity. I guess that such a thing would encourage mindless posting.

JB, you got it right the 2nd time. I rarely ever post a one or two line response. Pretty much everytime I add my two cents to the conversation. Sometimes I add a whole dollar!

BTW CDHostage, wouldn't it be a little bit interesting too see more than just the total number of posts. Wouldn't it be a little interesting to see your, or other's, posts/day or /week. Or to see when someone, ie Shakai, would pass you.

[cdhostage]

Umm... I think I see. Total numbe r of posts per this week. Or for last sevn days or something...

My argument still applies.

We do not have stats history in this category.

It might be interesting to look at a graph over time though.

[slipjack]

I think it's not needed.. you can already see individual's post numbers rise. I *suppose* if you cared you could write all ours down, but I don't think this is something that needs official attention.

[SkiBikeSki]

Seems like it was indeed a bad idea. I just thought that it might be cool to see some stats on posts, other than the total number.

That's okay. I wasn't planning to compete with you for the most posts anyway.

Please count me out on this race Shaktai & SkiBikeSki.
This is one time that I will let you both stay ahead of me/

[SkiBikeSki]

I'll have to get some more computers and post twice or thrice at once!
