That line from the father's song in Mary Poppins, where he's going on about how nothing can go wrong, in Britain in 1910.  That's about the point I realized the boy was gonna die in a trench.

What the shitting asspolyps is up with the new retarded postcounts? Is this some blisshippie bullshit that we enacted to try to make this board more egalitarian?

And why the fuck would we WANT this place to be more egalitarian? This is fucking PD, you have to EARN the right to not have your ideas chopped into dogshit carpaccio for opening your noob mouth. It's bad enough we invited a bunch of pagan cunts over here without beating every last trace of paganinity out of them on the way in the door, now this?

what the fuck is this forum trying to turn into?

Maybe the idea is to have people evaluating posts judged by the merit of the actual post rather than some numerical status?

Like, when someone comes in here and gripes about the lack of convention. Doesn't go so well.

I'm evaluating the shit out of your post.

I didn't think there was a reason behind it but randomness; I prefer it over numbers ... it's not soo bad is it?

Post counts are still on profile pages, but the section in the individual posts because TripleZero accidentally the whole thing on purpose.

It does give you an excuse not give a fuck when someone changes their handle constantly.
It's not trolling, it's just satire.

Adios

PD is now a more friendly, fluffy place. Please wipe your fucking feet, bastard.

I like it.  It gives me a chance to look at the idea being posted before I have a chance to judge based on post count.

If I know someone by reputation (assuming they bother to keep their screen name for an appreciable length), I'm more likely to read and think first.  That hasn't changed.

that's a thread in Meta-forum (where we usually discuss these sort of things), read it, and it will tell you that 1) we are just trying it out for a few weeks and 2) just about everybody seems to love it so far and 3) you can still view the postcounts if you click on the profile page.

This will pay for itself within a year, in the sheer amount of noobs we don't have to put up with whining about postcounts.  That'll save at least 20 seconds of spare time, which I can put towards more fruitful enterprises, like masturbation or sleep.
