Diesel Hog Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Why don't Tailgate post count towards the total post counts? I for one do not like that. Can we start a petition to have these post count? Does anyone agree? Does anyone give a crap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kosher Ham Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 haha. You need some type of status to make you feel better about your posting ? I see a possible NNT in your future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 If my recollection of history is correct, Tailgate posts don't count because the administrators wanted to incentivize posters to post more in the Stadium forum. This was at a time when your post count determined which level of avatar was available to you, so better avatars were given to those with more posts. I don't think it was successful. I have most of my posts here in the Tailgate, if they counted I would have many thousands more. But who really cares? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diesel Hog Posted October 23, 2014 Author Share Posted October 23, 2014 Guys, I get it. It's the internet, none of this really matters. Just seems odd that post don't count here is all. Thanks for the history China. Sounds a little dated to me, so maybe the mods should reconsider. And Kosher, no, I don't need a status to make me feel better. I just like seeing my post count grow, and I don't post a lot here or in the Stadium. When I do post here, it's just kinda weird the post count doesn't increase.

chipwhich Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Not to mention things like the random thought thread and that one word game thread where some posters literally posted 10's to 100 posts of day of pure nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have most of my posts here in the Tailgate, if they counted I would have many thousands more. But who really cares?Yup, that's my recollection as well. I remember some discussion about it way, waaaay back when, mods said their decision was made and was final and that was that. I do wonder what my post count would be if tailgate posts did count. Probably a horrifying number Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinfan2k Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I do wonder what my true post count is now that it hasn't counted for years. Anyone know how to find that information out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know how to find that information out?I'm not sure it's even possible. With threads disappearing over the years, I suspect posts that weren't counted are forever lost to time.

skinfan2k Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 You don't want to know. i do actually. I have been stuck around 16K since 2008 after i graduated college. I remember one summer at my internship, this is the only thing i did all summer and had about 5K posts in about a 2 month period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I added the "another post down the drain" to my signature when that policy went into effect. My post count would probably be double. I don't post in the stadium much. When it happened, I remember it being s big deal because of the avatars, but as stated, in the grand scheme of things, it doesn't really matter.

Kosher Ham Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 What is NNT? It's for people that ask questions (Start threads (hint) ) that have been asked for many years, many times. Your topic could easily be in the random thought thread and explained cleary. Not to mention in at least two other threads/forums. Use the search feature.

S.T.real,lights,out Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Before I was all about post count because I wanted to unlock profile pics..... No we can use whatever we want so they don't matter to me anymore. Kind of wish we kept things the way they were but whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
