Easy, if you sit at your computer and post a number in a counting game all day, every day for a few months. Actually, do it in a few different threads too.

IMHO, the few people who did this were the major cause of Omni posts no longer counting. Guess what? After the change was made the counting games stopped.

Again, it was another feature abused by a few and instead of dealing with those few, the feature was taken away - post counts, in this case.

So, excepting a few people who actually post alot of relevant information in other forums for years, many of those you see with 35,000+ posts got them from counting for months in Omni last year.
