This is the whole thing in a nut shell.
Post counts are meaningless. Does anyone in their right mind think that someone who joined FT in Nov 06 and has 34,294 posts (71.99 posts as day) is actually more knowledgeable than someone who is known and posts in a specific forum, or forums, most of the time? He/she may be...but may not be. It's up to the members of the forums to make their own informed decisions.
OMNI counting games and other bubble wrap poppers are just time killers for people with nothing else to do. I would be very happy with no post counts from OMNI and other time wasting threads ...like the lounges.
In fact, all that is needed is a post count to get to CC and OMNI and then do away with all counts and titles.
You can't spend Post Counts
