Whatever OMNI is, I can't post there.

sharkshooter....you probably don't really want to know what OMNI is but you'll be able to see the forum after 180 days as a FT'er....which you've already reached....and 180 posts.

No one answered so I will see for myself. Prior to this post my total was 661.

Edited to add: Now it is 662 and a padded count!!

Well it was not hard 4 pages of spot the post other than OMNI :D

I had to look seen as it blew a hole in my statement but since then you have changed your mind :) and said it shouldn't make any difference, so I renew my comment most* people who post in omni who have posted here dont want a change :p

Once upon a time (with the previous software) posts to the same thread on the same day did not increase your post count. Obviously that is no longer the case.

My question - to those who favor change - would be, what has happened that a "need" has arisen to change the status quo (i.e., what "problem" has suddenly popped up out of the blue that has been created, in some way, by displaying post counts)? How would the change "resolve" the "problem"? Will this change improve the FT experience, have no impact, or will it detract from the FT experience?

FT, to date, has been pretty dang successful. I don't think we want to be tinkering frivolously or pointlessly with something that clearly works for the vast majority.

Are we twins separated at birth? :D

Dino, planning on becoming an OMNI-ite too (or joining me as mostly an "OMNI-hanger on")? :D

Post counts should go the way of the game winning RBI in baseball as they have about the same meaning.

Nah, I dont have time to post in there, I dunno how people find the time to post 40 times a day :D

:( :confused:


For the record, GUWonder was at one time a prolific (in terms of volume) OMNI poster.

Some habits die hard.

You just posted 40 times a day — see your most recent milepost in this thread.

Where did you find the time?

I was very bored one night or 2 when I didnt have a lot on so I tried playing a daft game in omni but got very bored after 2 nights i think it was :D

Think them couple of nights on that game pretty much totals my omni post count

That answer is incorrect.

The correct answer is that you found the thyme in the spice cabinet...
