I understand that some folks will argue from a standpoint of consistency, but post counts should reflect the true mission of FT. It's bad enough that lounge threads count and that we're already playing by two sets of rules. Let's not make post counts even more meaningless.
Agree.

Unfair. I see current TB as very active and trying. Unfortuantely a few of their discussion threads have been closed.

Agree. CC posts wont make much difference in any case.

Do you award some kind of prizes for the most? Drop post counts entirely, then you will never have to deal (over and over and over) with this trivia any more.
With the current status, I support no post counts at all. Its just too meaningless. It would only have (some) meaning if we somehow had counted FT core value threads (and even then, there could be lots of nonsense posted).

In any case I just dont care one way or another. I see evangelists, and when I search them I find nothing but nonsense. Post counts as of today are mostly completely meaningless, and far more so with this proposal.
But I just dont care. We just need to know not to put any value/respect into it. I wish I could have seen the same interest in something (more) important though, like creating an Air Berlin forum etc.
