Moving TBT to more powerful forum software?

[Prof Gallows]

Seriously, what does having a super high post count do for you guys? Give it up.

I agree with this.
If the site is being moved, everyone should treat it like a new forum.

How is it a new forum? There would be the same members, the same staff, the same boards, everything. The only difference is the forum software it's running on. In my eyes, it wouldn't be a completely new forum.

This fourm is not starting over. The fourm is just moving.

But what does it really matter?
That's more stuff Storm has to do. It's easier to just make the new board, let people rejoin, and enjoy it.
Going through 50+ members to add post counts is just ridiculous.

Exactly. The notion that it would be a "Blank slate" is completely ridiculous. You would still know all the members by their personality and their previous actions.

Exactly. So what does post count really matter in it?

He could make some other mods admin temporarily to sift through everything.

EDIT- Now that reread what I said, it sounds ridiculous. >_<

That's a admins job you moron. There are people on these fourms that have been here for years and would hate for their slate to be wiped clean unlike a noob like you.

When you result to name calling, your argument dissipates. Seriously, have an intelligent debate without resorting to names.

Oh yes. Because post count is how smart you are on this site. I completely forgot.
The admins job is to make and run the site. Not go through and add post counts for people who would absolutely die if their post counts were gone. It would be the end of everything holy if they didn't have something to brag about..
Of course, you won't understand that because you can only see what your own eyes see, which in my eyes, is horrible spelling and a childish attitude.

No peoples inconsiderate thoughts for other members is what makes me mad.

Why do they need the post count, then? It's just inconsiderate busywork for the most important member of all, storm.

Inconsiderate is name calling.
It also isn't very considerate to make Storm add a bunch of meaningless numbers to a bunch of accounts. If people want to keep their posts counts, then they can stay here.
I don't see what is so important about them other than bragging rights, which is also dumb in itself.
You don't think enough to even know inconsideration when it's looking straight at you.

You act as though storms going to be alone? If anything is to be great in life works is going
to have to be done. No the number of posts don't show how smart you are, why be a smart ass? The point is with a good plan and time everthing can be done to make everyone happy.

Who else is going to do it, then? Making mods temp admins is a recipe for disaster in my opinion.

 

[Pear]

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it: I like my post count. Why? I have no idea. But I do. It's like if you were playing a video game for 6 months, and your data got corrupted.

The main issue I have with putting in post counts is that they would be "phantom post counts." It's a number... but there aren't real posts to match it.

That happened to me. I got pissed for like 5 minutes, then moved on. Because it's just a game.

Could it cause an error?
I don't know, I've never used a pro forum software.

Everyone should be happy he's moving the site instead of closing it down.
and Storm is alone when it comes to Admins. Mods can't edit post counts. and they shouldn't have to in the first place.
