There was a rash of people competing for large post counts in Spamalot so "they" decided to change it so OT posts didn't count to stop them from having fun with their game.


...And possibly because "they" found it annoying.

How can you get JB from Jimbo Stone? It should be JS.

What, you forget the pikachu clan? I admit, I was a member of it and was one of the leading posters at the time, often in the "spam wars" with Spamalot at the time. Ah, good times. Then they redid everything so that you can only have 5 quotes (granted, it sometimes did become ridiculous with quotes), posts in OT and private forums no longer count towards post counts, and more and more lately, rules have become much stricter (and evidently new ones were put in place without them being posted). But, it didn't help that Flame Wars was deleted (but it had become a cesspool overtime), wicked going nuts, and Norse continuously coming back. I think he may have set a record for permabans with all of the multis he made.

I'm really confused at who would complain about post count....who cares? Is it a competition? Why wouldn't this forum count? I never got the memo that off-topics was off-limits. Hey, I guess you learn something everyday. Though this is...weird.

The stopped counting off topic because some people DID see it as a competition and were posting a lot of "spam"/worthless posts. Admin was afraid it would get out of hand and so stopped counting those posts.

Oh oh oh, I'm guessing his name starts with a B!!!

I am thinking it actually pre-dated him, but I am not sure.

I joined this site before you... hence I am the original JB.

And as we can clearly see, Off-Topics doesn't have spam or worthless posts at all. Instead, we have pimpdave. Well done, admin!

It certainly used to be. This place was flooded with spam (y'know, by Spamalot). The mods got sick of it and decided this forum's posts don't count anymore.

Still fun times though.

I don't see how anyone in admin though that would fix anything? Did they personally have to count the posts or something? It just seems like a pointless rule just to have a rule.

Also, I'm JB I because I started handing out the names. >=() ANGRY DUCK
