Is the post count gone for good? I was hoping it was just a glitch that was being worked on. Oh well....I had somewhere in the 600's. It was just nice to look at once in a while.

true phillip, but i agree, here at XS im gonna trust someone with 4000 posts like LS over some 2 post noob.

I kinda liked it too, but this site doesn't tolerate people artificially inflated post counts or bs info, I don't ever recall the staff giving bad advice on anything honestly. Same goes for most of our regulars, so post count be damned lol.

Thats how I type when I have been drinking lol

Aaaarggghhhh!!! - I am with you on the one Kam, I hate text speak, it's so annoying and to be honest unless you do it 24/7 it must be quicker to type out the proper words than to think what the "shortened" version is.. it sure takes me longer to work out what they are trying to say sometimes.. so yeah I don't bother reading them generally either
If someone can't be bothered to write out a question properly, why should they expect a proper answer, lol

post count is irrelevant to the knowledge of the person really. It's more of a insecurity thing i think...people don't trust others that don't seem to look like they've been around the block a few times.

I agree with punq in many ways - you only have to look at AD for instance, there were tons of people posting any old crap to up their post counts and some of them got from newbie to addict in around a month or 2.. didn't mean that they knew anything, just that they posted a lot.. and generally useless advice was the norm.... I'm not bagging AD, just saying that it's another reason I don't visit there much anymore.
