I propose that somewhere be Omni.
Until OMNI is discontinued, I don't agree. OMNI is part of FT and as a part of FT it should count.
The notion that post counts are a measure of "travel" related discussion is false. Even outside of OMNI there is a ton of chat that is not travel related at all. This forum is a good start.
My feeling is that as long as OMNI is a part of this community, it should be treated as such.
Perhaps a better solution is to have a blurb in the welcoming literature that there is not a significant positive relationship between post-count and knowledge

Note: I have no dog in this fight. I think post counts are stupid and should be gone entirely, but I'm arguing principles here.
