I agree Kiz !

Debates dont happen anymore tho do they??? Because of people ruining the debate by putting silly short responces that kill the thread

They're all aware this is a forum, and not a chatroom or instant message, yet they still insist on posting next to nothing in order to raise their post count.
It's just plain irritating to sit and watch them post like that in my opinion, it's posting for selfish motives rather than trying to fit into the community and have decent conversations.
Im also convinced some people are insisting on posting too much in order to gain such a high post count...that people will respect them and think they are valued members due to so many posts.
Or even because they're secretly hoping for a staff position due to their excessive posting.
Which won't happen =] so they might as well stop now.

I dont look at post count to be fair, it doesnt matter to me if someone has 5 or 5000 posts but your bang on the nail about one line posts that add nothing to the site
And its not a chatroom....its a forum where people who create thread want to debate and discuss thoughts and ideas..... and the responce "lol" ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
whats the point in responding like that....I would rather see someone saying "yes, I agree because ........."
it makes a much worthwhile forum to be fair
