Maybe they were (not to assume) double posts in your early days here, I know I did that.

Well, I am not saying ALL of them were, and I really don't know, I am not a mod or an admin or anything of the sort.

I thought this would be obvious.

Picture Wars V2 closed! It was brought to the Necrum Burial Grounds! All posts in it were lost!

Mods (bless them), knowing that many newer members (or 'Noobs') are obsessed with post counts, regularly knock these newer members' post counts down in an attempt to stop newer members having more posts than members who are actually respected. Needless to say, Noobs find the loss of many posts traumatic, and simply cannot bear posting any more, for the fear of losing their precious posts.

The truth, straight from the horses mouth.

The OWF have never taken kindly to members we perceive as 'spammers'. It's a quality over quantity issue. As long as you reply intellectually to a thread, you will generally garner more respect quicker.

And yes, we often like to move the larger spammier thread into Necrum just to see the post counts drop like flies

Why? Post count doesn't matter as Alcar nicely stated already. Simple story since it's already been told and anything I say will just be a rehash with a different style; QUALITY OVER QUANTITY.

Most members here highly appreciate one or many that will help deliberate or participate in some form of intellectual discussion, debate, or even heated arguments. cheers!

Exactly. Look at me, I've been here for more than 5 years, and I STILL haven't reached 2000 posts...

It's because Peter's secretly moving it down whenever you get close to 2000. Because he hates you.
