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?

Big words from a guy with a -22.35 km¹ postcount.
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.

Good strike, ol' chap. :lulz:
I didn't think there was a reason behind it but randomness; I prefer it over numbers ... it's not soo bad is it?
postcount is the only fucking clue i get when someone goes and changes their goddamned handle every fortnight!
I'm with ECH...... this shit's
Post counts are still on profile pages, but the section in the individual posts because TripleZero accidentally the whole thing on purpose.
the handle changing thing does get really confusing though :lol:
I think it's cute.
I think it needs an extra coat of paint.

It does give you an excuse not give a fuck when someone changes their handle constantly.
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.

:omg:

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.
edit: removed snark
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.

What, you don't like Paganini?
ECH, I bet you're a bunch of fun to sit around with knitting and drinking. :lulz:
or possibly quilting? :lulz:
Or cross-stitching?
Sounds like ECH's chakras are unbalanced, and he needs to get in touch with his familiar, but ONLY after properly calling quarters, and casting a circle.
:magick: :rpger:
SIGILS. DO NOT FORGET.

This should be fun the next time somebody changes handles and everyone shits all over 'the noob' :lol:
I have to admit, I do like this new post count system.

Paganini is my god!
I missed my historic post taking me over 9000 posts :cry:
~~~Payne: Made nine full spins of meat and never knew it.
its nto as big an issue as, say, having the fucking shower not work.
I wanted to remove it completely from the thread index. Not because I give a damn about new people or old, its because it looks fucking ugly, its redundant information that is in the persons profile anyway. Trip came up with a more fun solution.
STARS are the new postcount

I don't mind the new post count... For now. It may get a little tired after awhile. We'll see.
Oh, and I'm not so sure about beating the pagan out of them, but I'm all for beating some sense into just about anyone.

what is the argument for postcounts, anyway?

They want points to show they are winning at posting?
I don't think postcounts are all that important. If it's about seniority, date registered is more pertinent. There are people who've only been here a couple of years but have tons of posts and people who've been around longer than me and have less than half my posts. But beyond that, it's really the content that should be measured or argued.

Nearly 6 years, baby.
The only thing I ever used postcount for is when I didnt recognize someone's screenname and wanted to know if they were someone I might know already (in which case I still had to dig into their profile page) or a new person.
Also, it turns out a lot of people simply don't read Meta Forum? Cause we had this discussion there.
what the fuck is a "meta forum"?
is that, like, a pamphlet that we put out on a semi-annual basis or something?

Uh, no it's this subforum:
http://www.principiadiscordia.com/forum/index.php?board=11.0
Where we discuss things about the forum. Like administrative things and/or changing things in the code.
Like we did for the postcount thingy, right about here: http://www.principiadiscordia.com/forum/index.php?topic=25926.msg906026#msg906026
When two or three mods and some members seemed to be okay with it, a day later I started coding. But if you still hate it in a few weeks, I'll just revert it.
In the process of messing with the forum code, I also fixed a couple of bugs that had been polluting our Error Logs (see the Admin screen) for a long time. Which was successfull, cause checking now all I see is warnings over banned users and Rod Steward getting his password wrong.

The showers don't work on the forums, anyway.
And when they do, it's never a good thing.
I want my post count to ONLY be measured in whales.
My vote is for Thetans.
Mine for milligrams.
Posts should be measured in Flesch-Kincaid readability.
YAY STARS :D

I honestly find it very endearing that you never get when I'm being facetious.
also, I vote for Kelvins.

i think :wrygrin: would have been rendered unnecessary if ECH had :permanently affixed smirk: in his sig...
i don't know if wrygrin could be effectively captured in an emote....
hmm...
I would like my posts to be counted in either USD, GBP, or Euros. I'd also like my laptop to spit out however much I've "earned" every time I post. :D
