I like the top threads idea
The reason I don't post the other stats is it can make the forums cliquey. I don't want newbies to be intimidated by people who have posted 20,000 times or for people to try to get their post count up by posting contentless messages.
Fair point about newbies. Although I wasn't suggesting that the numbers go up in the Gassing area itself -- you could tuck them away somewhere -- the point about contentless messages is well-taken. I've seen such forums and boy can they be dull!

Bloody right - some people are scary enough without all that nonsense. Take Mel - he's got a girl's name, but he sounds really scary on the phone.
Mind you though, men with girl's names are mostly scary people - take John Wayne and the famous wrestler "Big Daddy".

Spot on Ted. The amount of junk on certain other sites where members compete for huge post numbers is a sickening waste of bandwidth! Please keep this a tasteful forum in a sea of noise
(What are those jap 4WD things called? Something to do with a cartoon dog? It'll come to me...)
