_Gus_ Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 you guys dont have an introductions thread my name is is gus, i live in USA, and i joined this forum because i like AMN, and a friend of theirs is a friend of mine....gawd, now i know how monkeylord must feel (he lives in the UK and posts at AMN, a mostly american board). edit: you guys have rep points? people abused them at AMN and they took them off :no: also, i plan to upload an avatar soon..probably the same one i use for AMN.
Haden Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 Hi Gus how are you? Whats it like in Texas just out of intrest? I hope you enjoy your stay here and get into the atmosphere of the forum.

gorrit Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 Welcome, I hope you enjoy your stay Maybe we shall have a newcomers thread?
dukkadukka Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 we should. fierce-link locked mine, nasty admin.
Fierce_LiNk Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 we should. fierce-link locked mine, nasty admin. :shock: I locked it because it was basically asking who was who on the old forums. And there was already a thread about who used what names on the old boards. I ain't nasty. :p Anyway, hi _Gus_. Welcome to the boards. Yes, we do have rep points. Although, if the rep system gets abused, we will turn it off. 1
Charlie Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 I hope someone abuses the rep system in my favour. *looks sadly at the 10 rep points underneath my name* ------ Hey Gus! Enjoy your stay here. Most people here are really cool, so hopefully you'll have fun
rizz Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 Yes, we do have rep points. Although, if the rep system gets abused, we will turn it off. Because rep points so arent the new post count
Fierce_LiNk Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 Because rep points so arent the new post count Well, the theory behind rep points is that you give "karma" (or something) to someone who has made a good post. You can also give bad karma to someone who has made a bad post. It's a good way of repping people who do make good, thought out posts on the boards, for example "johelian".
Dante Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 Hello Gus. Hope you enjoy your stay on the forums.
dukkadukka Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 :shock: I locked it because it was basically asking who was who on the old forums. And there was already a thread about who used what names on the old boards. I ain't nasty. :p i was just kidding thanks for locking the ogrish thread btw. hi gus, i'm a newbie here too, i'll look out for you and protect you from fierce_link
Guest Offerman Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 Because rep points so arent the new post count Well they never will be - because the ethos is different. I'm not too bothered about Rep Points, and as for post counts, the fact that they are still on your profile is in my opinion still abit of a drawback. They should just disappear altogether.
Platty Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 yeah i would like to see post counts off the profile as well, but as far as im aware there isnt an option for that, ive looked and looked and my eyes hurt >_< ill get someone to mess with the code and see if they can be taken out or something...

To be honest Sir, I don't think any forum has an option or facility to totally remove the post count. I think we are lucky as it is - for it not to be activly displayed, or tallied against other members.
Surrealist Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 Welcome _Gus_, nice to see so many seemingly good newbies joining up !
