I asked about that thread, and was told it was Omni's version of a 'lounge thread', and that conversations within it had spawned 3 FT Dos. As well, there's interaction there between the various folk, vs. simply counting games where someone's posting a #. So I think (although can't speak for them) the mods consider it more a lounge thread than a game thread. And since lounge threads posts count in regular FT forums, probably makes sense for them to count in the Omni lounge thread.

Cheers.
