I found it, it's on the actual thread name before "entering the thread"

dit - just saw stepens pic after posting, now i look a bit silly :L

I NEVER knew that was there. I will forever cherish this feature. TYVM for showing me.

Edit: Fun fact, 1/8 of Jord's posts are in one of the two PWYLT threads...

Edit2: 1/6 of Rixion's

wait that's wrong I mean

jesus would of taken like a year longer to get forum god if the threads didn't count posts

[Chippiewill]

These are significant amounts of posts here..

I'm willing to come to a compromise on this personally. I suggest a six week period during which moderators and the more influential members of the forum when posting in these sorts of threads try to create discussion. So when they post what they're listening to they also try replying and commenting on what other people are listening to. This I believe would be very effective as I have observed that when two people converse in PWYLT other people start to converse also. If people actively tried for a bit to do this I reckon that the thread could even stay in this way long term.

1. It is up to the management whether they decide to remove this thread or not not Chippie What is the point of trying to promote active discussion in a thread like this - it is for members to post what they are listening too and I for one find it quite interesting to see what people's taste in music is even though I do not participate in the thread.

2. I do not feel it is fair to start singling out members individually, guys, as to what percentage of their post count is etc.

I think Matt summed it up earlier in the thread more members want this thread than don't and if it was removed there would be quite a storm. A sign of it's popularity is that it has never died and is always active.
To get to the crux of the matter which I believe this is all about is the fact it has a post count not the thread itself. The post your desktop thread in Tech is in exactly the same as this thread imo. Tbh I am not bothered about member's desire for a high post count provided it is not sheer spamming. Each to his/her own.

I don't think anyone's suggesting that the thread is actually removed (at least not any more if it was ever originally the case) nor even moving it to spam/games as the people seemed to think in the early pages of this thread. A suitable change that makes no aesthetic or functional difference other than taking out the post count has been explained fully and would be easily implemented, and frankly I think it's not just lazy but rude that Matt couldn't even be bothered to read 6 pages of feedback to see that this was the case, even if he were then to say "nah cba" it would at least show an interest in his users beyond hanging around HxHD. I'll await the "Christmas is a busy time" and "Matt does X amount of work" replies and I appreciate both of those facts, but taking 5 or 10 minutes to read an active feedback thread isn't all that taxing. I've read through it at least twice just writing this reply.

He didnt even say remove the thread in that post let alone demand the thread gets removed so I'm not sure what post you're reading

And a thread where you can post what you're listening to multiple times a day, with no discussion and with a post count... has never.... died???!?!?!!!11 Well blow my horn and call me willy i wonder why that would be
