We need more quality, not quantity -- maybe, once someone has attained over, say, 4000 posts, their post count could simply read "> 4000" or "4000+" Ermm
 
That might stop some more newcomers from thinking that one's "status" here is all about massive post counts, and some people might even get some fresh air, or even talk to someone who is actually near them. Wink

I know, I'm not. But if that was the first thing you saw, would you have 2nd thoughts about the site?

Well yeah, but luckily that didn't make headlines on the site, and now a month has passed and it's buried away in the behemoth thread.
 
So, if VR doesn't show up on the Top 10, all is well, and Flossy doesn't have to frighten any nooblets away. LOL

Precisely.

Exactly. I honestly don't care where it gets moved, but if it stops showing up on the Top 10, I have absolutely no problems with the VR.

Some people think that it might have a negative impact on thee site if the VR constantly appears on that list, hence the option and the original start of this topic.
 
I have to agree. I'll show an example. (Time has no meaning)
 
Someone just joins the forums. Looking for a discussion they see:
 
The Velvet Room Part 3
 
 
 Well, they think, that sounds kind of cool. Well they open it up, and what do they see?

How about a top 10 latest posts for the rest of the forum and a top 10 latest posts for the velvet room? Wink

Seriously, keep the VR where it is, but don't let it appear in the top 10 latest posts chart. I think that would be good.
