I think Jacks just trying to focus this site on quality information instead of the quantity of information.<br>You cant blame him for that. <br><br>This site is filled with great folks who have good information and I think thats what Jack is trying to focus on.<br><br><br><br>Rich

Re:No More Post #'s!

Basically, they have been removed because of so many instances of folks trying to run up their posts. In doing this, we had a lot of threads that contained pretty much no useful information. By taking this step, we're hoping that it will change a little.

I think for the most part it's not a big deal. It only happened once in a while but as the site grows, it becomes more of an issue.


You mean kinda like all the good morning posts ? Useful info.

Re:No More Post #'s!

The &quot;Good Morning&quot; thread has been our hangin' around the water cooler BSing thread.<br>I never expected to gain a wealth of information from that thread. :<br>We just had a place to goof-off.

Re:No More Post #'s!

You stated that there was a lot of post with no useful information but isn't this forum here to have fun and help others without the politics? From what I have read in the past that is what I have come up with.<br><br><br>Any Clarification would be helpful

Re:No More Post #'s!

Yeah, that's cool. When I first got here I put more weight on someone with more posts, they gotta know the most right? But I learned over time that it's better to see what the posts say to know how much weight to give some of these guys, not that anyone would [glow=red, 2, 300]BS[/glow] us, of course.<br><br>Chris

Re:No More Post #'s!

I really don't see where the post numbers mattered anyway. Some guys simply have more time to post and read. I wish that I could sit here and read every new post everyday. But it isn't possible. This place has become my newspaper. I love the site and even though I only had like 50 posts when they were taken away it doesn't matter to me. My membership status will go up with time.
