So in other words:
A: 42 | D: 99 | M: 20 | HP: 43
is pretty damn good ( ), but the longer you stay registered, the more likely you are to lose Defense and Movement as you have 'off days' or weeks, or months...

Shhhh! Secret emperorship on its way. (*attaches hit counter to profile, and watches it rocket...*)

I think that its probably linked directly into the title system (Markos?) so your fixed title will screw it up. Which is a puzzler, as mine should read negative then

When posts did count in the OTF, spamming with such threads like word association and the coffee shop were just unbelievable... people just posting for the sake of post count. Now that they don't count in the OTF threads like the word association and coffee shop have almost disappeared... gee, I WONDER WHY...

While there is still massive amounts of spamming in the OTF... it's not anywhere near as bad as it was.

If you are SOOOOOOOOO concerned about YOUR post count... contribute to the on topic forums... you know... the gaming forums... you know... the ones that are on a GAMING SITE
Ming, you seem to be under the impression that the Off Topic Forum is not a game?

You realize you're not going to force any new real discussions in the on topic forums with this policy, but rather send spammers there to increase their postcount?

An incredible idea.

Edit: Can you also explain to me how the coffeshop threads hurt anyone?

It was working just fine before, too.

Only I have noticed a steady decline in forum traffic recently.

It is alright. It is just that every question seems to have been asked at least 3 times in this thread.

I think it's because Markos is into both S&M and snuff.

Makes it easier for him.
