But I saw 'post count 'and 'registering date' popping up while looking at this thread. While I understand some people want to say "hey, I have been here for long" as for registering date, I see both of those to be, well, pretty useless (you have, say, 30000 posts. So what?). It's not that having a ultra high post count gives you a status among the others.

Quoting my own post. Seriously, is registering date and post count really that important? Something you worked hard to get?

Plus, if you've been here for long, the others will know. No need for registering dates to be displayed.

as we all know, there are some people who have a bad and unfortunate history and who want to start anew, leaving that behind.

However, there are still some of us who are proud of their history here and want it to show. I believe that those who would rather keep it should get the chance to show it.

I think that those people who want to do so should be entitled to their happy heart., because they worked hard to maintain of and deserve to keep it.

Or you could give those who "transferred" over from the current MFGG should get a badge showing that they came from here (unless that's too stupid to do)

HH/SHH/UHH I think will need to be re-earned, since everyone is going to be starting fresh in terms of warn logs

Does that also include the last chance list?

Also, if I may like to ask, can you make it so that on the new forum, the CCC/whatever doesn't count posts? Because, really, we need that.

No we really don't need to continue to disable post counts in the CCC. In case you didn't know, they are currently disabled and haven't slowed posting any. In fact, since spam is apparently against the rules in our equivalent of other forums' spam boards, it is silly that post counts are disabled at all in this forum.

For statistics' sake, I see no reason for postcounts to be hidden or disabled. The number doesn't cause any harm to anyone.

It may not do any harm, but it doesn't do any good either. Some people may feel some kind of inferiority when they compare their post counts to the ones like yours.. That is absurdly gigantic, and may induce them to spam to get postcounts as high.

I know that very well. But some new people may think they got it by posting a lot, and in the way it is now.

You are thinking too much and too far into

A lot of things "may" happen, and you shouldn't take any of it into account. You can't control what someone does.

I don't even believe in conflict diamonds. That's just a movie. Think about it. Ain't nobody thought about nothing about no conflict diamonds until the movie came out.

There is no more last chance list. The warning system has changed in such a way that it's no longer necessary.

They are not disabled. You gain post counts from the CCC.

Our current post counts are even less meaningful because counting was disabled in the CCC. Another reason to start them over. I'm sure some of our newer members would have much higher post counts if the rules are the same as they were in the PPP.

Also, people have lost their post counts and join dates several times in the history of MFGG now. Why do you think no one here joined before 10/13/2003.

Then why do banlogs say "You are on your last chance" or "You were on the last chance list, goodbye"? Even nowadays its like that.
