I don't see why it should even be an issue!
People do pleanty of whoring in the tech threads so how would taking away the ***** thread posts really prove how knowledgeable someone is?
It still doesn't mean someone knows much just because they post a lot in the tech section.
What is the reason for wanting a change anyways? People are believing what someone says just because they have tons of posts? Typically many respond and correct answers in the tech section so I don't see the problem!

BTW personally I give a lot of credibility to those that I have chatted with in the ***** thread! They may not know much engine/technical stuff, but for a parts sale I would be a lot more comfortable.
Also, I give more trust to members that have been here for a longer amount of time, even if the post counts are very low, 200<

I agree in that the lounge/dungeon posts should not count towards post count.
As it has been said many times in this thread people can be "fooled" by someone with a high post count. When I want to talk too someone I look first at the join date, then at the post count to see who I think would be credible.
I am more likely to ask a technical question to someone who has 1000 posts and been here since 2006 then someone with 1000 posts and been on for only a couple of months.
Maybe???

i say keep the post coount, and if i could re-cast my vote i'd say only count the tech stuff, and no counting of the lounge.dungeon shiz like many of the other posters in this thread!

OK... first of all working 3rds at a hotel... you have LOTS of spare time. If i didn't get my work done do you think i'd still have access to the internet?
And ever thing that maybe I don't post in other threads is cause i am just learning and have nothing to contribute? I have learned ALOT in the year i have been a memeber of this forum, but I do not feel like i have learned alot to contribute. Plus i'd say i read a good 70% of all new posts every night. Just because i *****, doesnt mean i come to this site to only *****.

The good thing about this site is that there is places for us to pretty much talk about anything.
I am getting tired of the guys looking for relationship help on a forum. There are WAY too many threads about that going around. But i just choose not to read them and stay within the technical section and my regional section most of the time.
