Onmi is the Official off topic portion of flyertalk. There are other forums that are off topic, or contain a significant amount of off topic non travel related posts where posts do count. It makes no sense that if somebody starts a thread say about American Vodka in Omni it wouldn't count, but put it in Dining Buzz and it counts.
Are you saying they have the same content? (I can't view OMNI... yet). If so why duplicate and get rid of OMNI?

I guess to be logical, what is the major focus on FlyerTalk? Count those things that are pertinent (more or less). If there is something that is not pertinent and will affect post count by a large amount then what's the point?

At least it would be great if they could be tallied separately. If someone is telling you something that you think is wrong about flying and they have 10,000 OMNI posts and 180 FlyerTalk pertinent posts that would be useful information.

If it's not useful just give everybody 10,000 posts when they first visit OMNI and give them the status they want while saving time and resources.
