My post amount has not gone up, and Ive been over there posting in the Slayer Stadium to see if I was crazy or not. My post amount is staying the same, not adding the ones Ive been posting. Any ideas?

Yeah we recently removed that from the Slayer Stadium. Posts there don't count towards your overall posts anymore.

Well that explains that. I did notice my post count not going up on certain posts, but didn't realize it was directly related to that forum.

It's often the case on other fan forums for boards that focus on games to not be counted. They're considered like fluff because the responses are often one sentence or even one word answers.
And in the scenario where post count factors towards a kind of measurable contribution to the community, the posts that require more careful and thoughtful reflection are counted. It's actually a very common practice and true for most other forums I'm a member of.

Fair enough. If people think it will be better for the board, then go for it!

Posts...? Forumers having fun? Lol, I guess it's a subjective issue. I think we can agree that fun and posting can be had without a rising post count. And as Emmie pointed out, it's quite standard for forums to exclude boards like the Slayers Stadium from post counts.

Yeah, I do agree. On this form certain status is awarded for posters, so it makes sense that only posts in areas of substance should be tallied so that these 'awards' are more deserved. It does make sense.

Secret Scoobie: I love the current banner, btw. Random question... isn't the singular of "Scoobies" "Scooby"? As in Scooby-Doo.

It really is!!!! But I've used this name on heaps of forums I've been on, and I'm worried if I change it now people wont know who I am. Do you think I could get away with it? I really want to, cos I hate my old bad spellings of things... my stupid email address I've had since 12 is spicey_sugar.... how stupid And thanks about my banner! It makes me happy!
