I don't post there..........particularly in the private forums we were discussing. For some reason I was under the impression they were private.

Questionable. Why would the many posters who only post on topic disappear if the OTers did?

Having been here since the beginning, I'd have to say that the OT is considerably less spammy since the Posts stopped counting. I'd hate to see it go back. But then I'm biased since I'm a mod.

I would hate to see all the discussions closed because they weren't "serious enough" or were "too spammy", which many threads existing there now would be classified as if posts started counting there.

My posts in OT are FAR less spammy than my posts in other forums.
Hmmm, scratch that previous comment, reverse it.

Stone him!
rah, my point is that it's a slap against the OT. Besides, now you guys have 4X the mods doing 1/10th the work.
Productivity is way down.
Diss, that's the spirit!

the offtopic people could always try posting in on topic areas and just follow the lead of the others to get some post counts, play an occasional game and post about it .

It's too late for half measures! I could no more placate the OT masses yearning to breathe free with such stuff than I could turn back the inevitable tide. Change is upon us, and the powers that be can either change with it or be swept away...
As long as one person's post counts are in bondage, no person can truly be free. So let it be known this day, that ALL are OTers!
Mr Markos, Mr DanQ...
Tear down this post count tyrany!

only tyranny round here is the fact some of the older psoters got to have the OT count in the begining. If that could be change dto subtract that portion i think that would fix this.

I would prefer OT posts to not count. In fact I'd prefer the whole PC system to be ignored by people as it distracts from posting with purpose and instead causes people to post for spams sake.

Indeed. If you compare with CounterGlow, for example, where postcount doesn't exist, spam is much more rampant here

spam should be irrelevant as that is the mods jobs to patrol, whilst it must keep themn busy , they seem to maintain a reasonable handle on it all

Unless he posts from Vegas, it will have to wait a little longer. Unless of-course he would see it as a good omen to become deity before leaving and sets in a litle sprint.

Sorry, yeah, I meant deity...I am an emperor...I even managed to drop all the way back down to King again once...but I am on the rise once more, although with the help of pointless posts like this I will be back up there once more. Occasionally I will make an on-topic post if there is something exciting to post about...but at the moment, inbetween games, there is very little to do so about...

What?! No "God of the Ferrets"?!
/me wonders if anyone has made up a list of Apolyton's dieties and their areas of power.
You know, like Zeus was thunder, Venus was beauty, Mars was war, etc.
MarkG - the god of Greek Artillery, Killer of Kittens, and Master of Digital Stuff.
"the Greek god of Digital Stuff, MarkG is commonly found sending Divine Artillery Fire into roving herds of Kittens...."

No "lord of the Ferrets" is from our CIVII MP games, so I won't be changing that.
At least most of the staff already have appropriate titles.
Especially MTG.

Due to ongoing negociations I've decided to delay the revolution. The good news is that behind the scene the mods and admins are caving to my demands.
I wonder what happened to Evan Von Christof?

IIRC Lord of the Ferrets was given to you by posters long before the CivII MP games were prevalent on these forums.
Lancer,
EvC is now Thorn on the OT.
