As I mentioned on Chappy's board, do you guys want post counts from MLB board to carry over?

On one hand people get to keep their post numbers.

On the other hand it would also be nice to start everyone off at zero.

Nah, why invoke memories of the previous, derailed board? Start anew. No regrets.

 

If we do, though, how would those of us who have been banned be credited with posts? I was up at about 986 before I got randomly banned, so I'm about ~1179 sans banning, and I know a lot of other guys who got randomly banned would like their true post counts.

 

Still, I would rather starting anew.

At first I liked carrying it over, but then thinking about it I like the idea of starting fresh.

But at the same time some of those with big post counts might really want them.

I can't see ECJF abandoning his.

 

No. But I want my best poster awards carried over

 

That's actually a good idea. At years end we can do forum adwards and guys will get "badges" under their names for the following season.

Just an idea, shouldn't this thread be under "Off topic," not "Blue Jays?"

Gonna be the first one banned I see!

Jk, I just wanted this to be seen by everyone. Other stuff will be in that forum.

Hey, it'd be an achievement lol.

 

Yeah, that's probably smart, now that I think about it.

At first thought I wanted it to carry over but I voted No, It's time for a clean start.

 

I'm sure this won't be a problem here but let's just keep it clean and moderated here. It's hard to stomach the old board.

I don't really care either way, but this is a new message board and I believe it should stand as such. Carrying over post counts is pointless and this is coming from someone with over 8K posts. A fresh new start seems more fitting.

Okay, let's start fresh then. I think it's best that way as well, after reading replies and thinking about it.

Just wasn't sure if some guys with high post counts would want them still.

I don't think it would be fair to those who were banned on the other board.

 

And it seems like with the trolls on the other board it was easy to rack up the posts, a lot of them were just two or three words. The value of a post on the old board is less than one on this board.

I think some sort of badge to recognize 10k+ posts or whatever on the old board would be cool, but it's not a big deal.

That's a really cool idea. I have made those threads the past 3 years I think, in November. I got laid off shortly after the voting began, so I had a lot on my plate and never ended up tallying the vote, but I can go back and do that if people want.

I don't know why people get so caught up in post counts anyways?

 

It lets you know who the best posters are, like dogg and ECJF.

Your right, I don't know what I was thinking.

Speaking of the dogg, what the f*** is he even going to do with his time? That board consumed his life for a decade.
