Does it actually matter?

It's the first forum where I can see people care. These "ranks", it's a nice idea but I personally do not give a fuck about "who I am", be it novice, arch melancholist or fucking great forlorn.

If I post, I post because either I have something to say or... well, just feel like posting something (referring to the what are you listening to thread and suchlike), and not in order to increase the amount of my posts.

Did you read previous replies? Apparently it doesn't matter to any of us who posted. I kinda like to see how the different ranks are named rather than how much someone has written. I don't care so the count can be there or not be there, if you don't care either then why not just leave it the way it was? It's a nice touch to this forum with different metal ranks
Also it's fun to see how much people actually write. PoA has been here for over 2 years and has wrote 555 posts compared to Gottfried's (whose been here since this July) 535

Or do you suggest the post count goes away and the ranks are still left?

I just love the ranks idea! I remember how proud I was when I finished my "apprenticeship"... (yeah, how childish of me!)
Now, seriously, it would be dull otherwise... it's nice to see post count too, irrelevant as it may be (for one may send out 1000 words/post and another 3 words/post, and still this wouldn't mean anything, because one can say more with just 1 or 2 good words than another with 1000 insipid ones...).
I'm using too many words already.
Let us leave it the way it is, for whoever invented this hierarchy did a brilliant job!

Sure I did. I was referring to the fact that this thread actually exists and there is some discussion in it which tells me people care, whatever. No matter.


I suggest nothing, actually.

As for me, I do not even look left to the comment field. Well, the only interesting (yet not essential) thing for me is Location, and all the rest should go to hell.

I don't care about the location since like you and many others don't even tell their location and you can always give it away in introducing yourself

And no need to roll your eyes, I just wanted to know whether you meant only the post count or the ranks as well.

God...damn it!
Why the hell do people on forums dislike so much this emoticon? I like it!

Remember people, we are a FRIENDLY forum
