Just noticed this...

a few facts...

1. As already pointed out by Choula, been done and undone already.
2. This board is paid for with advertisements. The higher the total post count, the higher the ad revenue.

What I don't know is that if removing the individual post counts removes the OMNI post counts from the total FT Post count. If it does, then the suggestion is to take revenue away from FT for a reason unbeknown to me.
