Moving TBT to more powerful forum software?

[NikoKing]

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.

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

Not really, but it's a bit odd of having a 2000 post count without any posts on the new TBT site to prove it.

Look before my fourms had been hacked it was a very active place as a admin I had alot of work to do although it wasn't easy and very time consuming it made the fourms feel more
like home to everyone. I think if anyone should decide it should be storm. Let
him decide.

So someone could accuse TBT of having X number if posts, when in fact we don't?

Yeah, like you could increase your post count without making posts if you were an admin. You get what I mean?

He's saying that he's on the no post count side so far.

I missed most of this conversation.

Has the staff decided yet?

No, it just means some people have fake counts while others don't. So they aren't real post counts if numbers are added. Which is weird.

Is anyone aware of the rpanime.com's file coruption? They had to start over but their post counts remained In tact and their really wasn't a big issue over it. Plus this site would be archived so it's not like there wouldn't be any posts to show for the number.

Exactly. It's not like we're bluffing without anything to back it up. For instance, on my failed ZB forum, I set my post count to -98,980, just because I could. This wouldn't be like that.

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

I dunno, I never liked TBT bells. I never collect them or use them, so I wouldn't really mind losing them.

And I lost all interest in post count once I hit green.

 

[SamXX]

well then i will not be going on tbt anymore because every time i go on a website
powered be one of them my laptop get's stuck and does not work

Yes but you're the Web master, you can cope with it.

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.

Also, what does having a high post count achieve? Is it so you can say to everyone you know:

"Look at me! I have nothing else to do with my life so I sit on the computer and post at a forum I have over 3,000 posts on!!!"

Really?

Ok so building up that many posts would take a while but so? You come here to talk, not to gain posts.

 

[Zex]

If we moved, we wouldn't have 8000 members anymore.

Gnome looks at Sam's post count.

Yeah...

Not like it matters, the amount of members means nothing, it's the amount of ACTIVE members that should matter.

Hmm interesting reading and I think it could work just fine.

Why do so many people care about their post count and bells?

Why do so many people care about their post count and bells?

Not really. Everyone would start with 0. Even me.
