I cant really see much use in a thread where only single icons or letters are posted and the respective post counts jump in the sky, following by a lufty title for the posters.

Not that I care about the particular titles but they suggerate for example to a new member high experience and knowledge, especially if someone asks for advise. That a majority of these posts do not result from constructive discussions but rather a waste of bandwith is nowhere visible. There are certainly very active & knowledgeble members from other forums as well but that doesnt eliminate my concerns.

Dont want to be the party pooper for OMNI but thats how I feel give the current situation.

What do you think about this ?

Cheers,

OMNI posts do not count, but wait around: I'm sure there will be some contest where you can get 10K posts in a week if you never leave your computer.
