This is what I think too, they're too samey as they are now. I think C&G's should be a sub forum for General Chat where people with permission to run games / chat thread are only be able to make threads.

I think it's about representing what gets posted on the forum really. Someone who posts exclusively in Chat and Games with the odd post in other forums isn't going to have anywhere near as many posts as someone who only signed up to post about, idk, West Ham United football matches in the Sports forum. But who's the greater contributor? Somebody who signs up only to talk about one thing or somebody who signs up to talk about lots of things - you can argue it doesn't matter, but I think it does.

I don't really care about whether C&Gs posts count or not, though tbf my post count wouldn't be anywhere near what it is now if they hadn't counted in my first year here

If you do an advanced search, limit the search to you only with the little name box, then limit it to posts, and make it search C&G only.

After thats done, multiply the amount of posts the search shows per page (mine was 25), by the amount of pages you have (mine was 400 and something) and that should give you a rough estimate.

My C&G posts are around 12,000.

I actually like that idea.

Niall · 22-03-2012, 04:00 PM

Niamh your true post count is 61,203.

Scott, yours is 28,336.

I meant results.

Multiple the number of results it says its found, by the posts per page. :3

I don't know, maybe that isn't totally accurate. The results I can see are all in the 400's when I do it.

Niall · 22-03-2012, 04:02 PM

-checks Nathan's and Eoin's-

Niall · 22-03-2012, 04:05 PM

Eoin yours is 47,147.

Nathans is 61,359.

Benjamin · 22-03-2012, 04:06 PM

Niall, surely that way won't count every post made in each thread, it just shows the threads, so would count as one post per thread?

Niamh. · 22-03-2012, 04:06 PM

Damn him anyway, he's still beating me

You can make it search posts instead of threads.

Niall · 22-03-2012, 04:10 PM

I don't think its totally accurate anyway. It apparently found the same amount of results - 495 that is - for Scott and I. So its probably limited in the amount of posts it can dig up.
