I would like to suggest that the post count be scrapped, the number of posts one has made is completely irrelevant, it serves absolutely no purpose other than to promote the idea that somehow a member is better than another if they have more posts. There also seems to be a perplexing need to get to five hundred posts, it is almost as if that makes one a better Esatonian too.
There are many Esatonians who have relatively low post counts and yet provide a very high standard of information and debate. I'm not quite sure why there is a post count anyway, as I said, it doesn't appear to serve any purpose. If it is necessary to keep account of how many posts members have made, then surely this could be done by the moderators behind the scenes.

Scrap the post count and bring in esatoage™, which counts how many days you've been a member at esato

i dont care one way or another. after youve been here a few weeks you soon get to see who helps who who takes the piss etc so the post count does make much difference
i did post that i had reach 500 as i was quiet pleased to have been around long enough to do it and like to think ive helped a few people along the way
i do agree the number makes no differnce some people who have just joined can be as or far more knowlegdeable on subjects than people who have been around for ever
if its goes i couldnt careless and if it stays i couldnt care less

@MixiN That would be ok but some users (like me) used to watch the forum a long time before they made a registration...

We discussed it already and i do support the idea. Would be interesting what @laffen is going to do in this case.

let's talk in small print shall we. I think you misunderstood an obvious joke in that, as it seems rather plain and clear to me that is is ridiculous to get rid of one system that may make certain members feel a certain unjustified 'superiority' over others, just so we can exchange it for another system that may make certain members feel a certain unjustified 'superiority' over others
I think the whole point is that
all useless info on which certain individuals think they oughta base their perceived status, serve no purpose at all.

Let's get rid of the old post counter once and for all. Let's not introduce a new memberday counter. These kind of misleading counters are of little or no use to anyone.
That the current post counter is meant to be some kind of measure of a posters knowledge and/or quality is quite obvious. Otherwise, why are the posts from the garbage and the mobile free zone threads not counted? Because they are not considered to be a measure of a posters knowledge and/or quality, while the others are.
@
laffen: What do you say? What's your opinion?
