Please, no more. Post count? Get over it. Rep is where it's at.

Whats the point of having a post count? I asked this before, quite some time ago, but now we have the rep system. I just don't see the point of having a post count anymore. The only plausible reason for having it, is to sort of monitor how much we post. Posting alot is a good thing, but only when your helping really, and theres only so much help to be handed out.
I don't know. I just hear it over and over again. Member woots themselves for their post count, other members get irritated by the wootfest. It just seems kind of pointless on both accounts.
Maybe we can keep the post counts, but keep them visible only to the member themselves? Maybe in their profile or something like that? Maybe above there rep point area in the user cp? That would eliminate these sorts of problems, while still giving members their post counts for whatever they need them for.
Just some food for thoughts.
I'm not sure if there's anything like this here, but IIRC over at the Gentoo Forums, certain forums don't count as posts. Only the forums where things matter (installation help, bugs, etc) gave your post count a post. Maybe something like could help.
And I agree Zephik about the w00ts. I've done that twice (at posts 1,000 and 2,000), because doing it every hundred or two hundred is annoying and a waste of space. If you have to do it at all, do it on the big numbers.
And rep is where it's all at.
The videos and links section doesn't count towards your post count, I'm not sure about any other subforums.
There's been talk about removing post count from the Chatterbox, but I think that would only imply that we actually care about post count. The reason we don't want post counts in the Videos and Links forum is simply because we only made that to get the crap out of the Chatterbox. Rep is the system: look at Filimon, 3 rep boxes and about 30 posts.
