    Why still new member?

    I must have started about 20 odd threads yet it still says next to my name that I have only posted 5?

    You don't get creditted for Chit Chat posts. Only on the main VB forums...

    or else we'd run out of Post Count space...

    Chit-Chat and Forum Feedback posts do not increment your post count.

    Are post counts important?

    Forum participants get locked out. Banned? That doesn't seem fair.

    Post counts aren't important to most people, but some (very sad) people see it as some sort of status symbol. (Actually for some people it signifies that they don't know an awfull lot as they post a lot of questions

    Don't worry about it. You'll find your welcome on this site regardless of your post count.

    when people act stupid and start fighting over the stupidest things (kovan and adam) they get banned... neither of them were doing much but fighting before they got banned so they had no reason to visit the site, but didn't stop so got banned... we are not harsh people here, be nice to us and most of us won't bite (watch for katie and chris... dennis when hes drunk )

    talking about banning and all that, you know smashtheqube, right?? of couse you do, that baster that talk crap about other people on this fourm. I think he should be ban for not being respectful to other members, but that's only my suggestion. and about the post counts, I don't care if I got 99999999999999 post counts.
