Point taken on the AM thread but IMHO the AM game thread brings the FT community together and spreads it out to spheres of influence outside of FT. I didnt consider this a game thread since it was more constructive (IHMO) than the counting threads were.

I'm not convinced that's entirely fair, particularly since there are ways the games can be managed to reduce their impact on OMNI and FT.
I dont care about my post count as I have less than 1000 half of which are most likely in OMNI. I dont see value in posting in the main forums if I am just posting my personal opinion on travel or am repeating what someone else has already said so my post count is probably split about 50/50 between OMNI and the rest of FT.

How is removing OMNI posts from counting anymore fair than what I suggested with the banning of game threads?
