when esato was new, that counter had some relevance but now it's just a relic of the old esato. laffen need not exert any extra effort, we can simply ignore it.

I'm sure that as long as the post counter is available, the discussion will arise every now and then. But it's no big deal.

actually, other forums are worse because they have this "ranking" based on number of posts such as "newbie", "citizen", "guru", etc, etc.

For me, it is sometimes difficult to separate different users with similar names (see attached image). The counter is a quick way to separate the "oldtimers" from the rest.

Just because you got a lot of posts, does not mean anything. Some peeps just fill up their counters with short and "useless" messages, just to rack up more posts. For now I think it is still a good counter, because of a.) lack of a better system and b.) if you are a regular you are able to separate the cream from the crop.

I am usually all for preserving the past and all that fizz, but quite frankly I just don't see a reason for keeping the post count. Although GOwin suggested that we just ignore it, this is difficult to do when it is displayed on each post. If we were to have ranks it would need to be done properly so that advancement is possible and isn't based merely upon the number of posts someone makes. One system could be to make ranks a factor of the number posts made, the length of time as a member and the moderator’s discretion on who regularly makes informative posts; of course I am only suggesting this if there were to be a ranking system, I am not actually advocating that there be such a system.
Perhaps the moderators could have a ‘moderator’s eyes only’ system to differentiate between members, the average Esatonian would have no access to this information, thus satisfying both requirements of abolishing the post count and allowing the moderator’s to differentiate between members.

actually, I disagree. I want laffen to have a day count. Like I've been here since 1979, so I want recognition.
jk
but to be honest, every forum on the internet has some sort of post count. It's weird~ I feel out of place with 3-4 post.

I think @laffen gave us a clear point. Its his show and he can use the counter. We should ignore it. Thats it.
