'What...' threads that do not contribute to discussion...

[GommeInc]

@GommeInc @edible and all the others who asked why does post count matter, there are more than enough posts in here to show it does to some people. I started quoting them but then I got lazy. Just saying.

Oh indeed people do care about post counts, but when you measure up the number of posts in those threads to how much posts are really worth in the User Rank system and any awards, you realise just how worthless they really are. 24,600 approx. posts in the Music thread isn't that impressive when you realise 7 years is a long time and the number of users who have probably used that thread. With the current ranking system, it would take ages to collect the right number of posts - and that's assuming there are people out there with the life long ambition to post like crazy on Habbox Forum.

It all seems over-exaggerated on here that posts apparently mean something these days.

I don't see what the big deal is? Does post count really matter?

Sure you can say people have thousands of posts counting to a million or what they're wearing or something like that, but why does it matter? People use the forum for their own reasons and if they want to play forum games (if that is what counting and things like that are 'called') then that's up to them

So whether someone has 10 posts or 10,000 the number of posts doesn't make the user any better.

I think, that as long as people are being nice and respectful in their posts, then if they want to count to a million, then that's fine.

You shouldn't be worried that people are getting a higher post count than you because they use the forum differently to you.

I don't see what the big deal is over a number?

I'm guessing that management won't do anything about this because of the poll results, despite a significant amount of people thinking it's an issue?

[Chris]

Yeah, this isn't going to be introduced.

Bolded those casting "no" votes who would stand to lose over 100 posts in the main offending threads if this happened - over 500 posts for Chris, all of which I'm sure are contributing to active discussion

[scottish]

I'd lose over 100 posts in which threads exactly?

Only thread I recall posting in is the post any images thread, other than that maybe Post your setup/desktop very few times or years ago.

[FlyingJesus]

I didn't look through post your setup because people said that it did actually make discussion happen, but nonetheless I apologise as I now count you as a paltry 99 89 in post any image (which is frankly by far and large the MOST pointless of all these threads let's face it) 4 in last thing you watch and 6 in the old music thread

[scottish]

Promotes as much discussion as Post what you're listening to or what you're wearing.

[FlyingJesus]

Kinda the point

[scottish]

Then it isn't by far the most pointless if it promotes same level of discussion
