Seeing the posts backwards? I don't see posts backwards.... explain what's wrong :P
As for lack of postcount, the people who put the post counts thing into practice had the most posts anyway :p I for one am glad to see them gone, it only encouraged people to spam. With this system, people will be respected for the quality rather than the quantity of their posts :)

"Enough with changes"? Are you kidding? I think it's just the beggining. I mean for one thing, what the hell does it matter who has more posts? (and that from someone who has a huge amount of posts, myself!) what does it matter who spammed more?
Getting a lot of posts is something that can only be achieved if it is turned into a practice (or if you know everything and just have to share it, a la me), or if you spam. And since so many people chose the spam way, it's only right to remove it.
And second of all, what's so bad about having a forum different from the usual? A new, revolutionary thing unseen before. I find thi sintriguing and interesting.
Or, do you want CB to become NF or BF, a place with a shitload of spam and where people can get rep by posting in certain threads?
And I don't know what re you talking about, I see the numbers of each succesive post just fine (my post in this thread is #4, your's is #1).

Kaiser, what you are talking about might just be the effect of clicking go advanced to reply (it reverses the order). Otherwise whatever problem you have isn't affecting me. And well said Undying, I agree with every word of that :)

lol, if that was that you meant, it isn't a change, it comes with advanced reply as far as I know, it's been here always... there may be an option on your CP to change it if not.

To be honest.. When I first saw the changes, I didn't really like them.
Now I relise that this might be for the better.
I would be even happier if DB decided to keep the post count in the user Profile.
Someone mentioned earlier I think.. It would be better for Captains to have a post count to check when reviewing somones application.

Why? regardless of their amount of posts there should be some idea of what kind of person this user is no matter how much or how little their post count is.

It can help detirmine how active they are.
Anyway, I always used to find post count as a motivation to stop spamming, not start.
Post count made me think about my posts and what I was saying more.

You do know that post count is visible in the profiles?
besides..its not hard to determine how active someone is. Take the amount of time they've been here by the number of pages their "view all posts" section.
btw atm you have 666 creepy.

I know that it is visible in the profile, but DB was thinking about getting rid of that too.

Personally, i never cared for my post count really, and I like it this way a lot more better than before.

I agree with Azn, post count means nothing. A person can have 1000+ posts and still be a total idiot. :D
It's all about the quantity, baby.

I'm completely content with the idea of a lot more changes, I'm quite happy with the changes as of now, and hope they keep coming, I hadn't seen many big changes since I joined CB, until just recently.

Like proph said, none of the Staff needs nay reason to explain themselves. We're in charge for a reason.
But I don't think the changes were that great to start a commotion about, you know? And besides, like I said I like it being a part of something revolutionary and new. Just think of yourself a pioneer, exploring new things.

I like the new change and i think the admins and mods did the right thing. The new rep system is for the best and will defintely encourage better quality posts and a no-spam policy. Instead of complaining, we should appreciate the benefits the new system offers.
I agree with Azn, post count means nothing. A person can have 1000+ posts and still be a total idiot. :D

You sir are my hero :P
I for one am really liking the changes around here. Keep up the great work admin types.
[font="Century Gothic"]Like proph said, none of the Staff needs nay reason to explain themselves. We're in charge for a reason.
because noone else is that crazy enough to take the job?
:doindadom
Anyway..The changes are nice...It means that the site is being kept active and up to date..And that the admins are actually taking a really active role in the place instead of just setting it up and seeing what happens...
:p: Keep the changes coming it's nice to see them...

gah~~~
i just wanted to know if i was getting close to 1000 posts or not
and whats the point of not having them anyway?
Kabane

Dounick, i think you can tell by your skulls. I believe 5 skulls are 1000 posts.
Bleh, it does get a bit of a headache whenever I skipped this forum for a long time, reminds me of the time when they switched to MInitokyo 3, which sucked ass at first, and eventually it gotten better once you get used to it, I do think there are far too many subforums, the front page looks crowded actually.

We might go over some layout changes once the kinks are rooted out of the system. Btw, everything that happens blame DragonBlade no matter what he says and how many times he denies it.
