i know i am leading the way with posts, but i for one would even be a fan of getting rid of post counts, it doesnt bother me greatly, but i certainly dont check it very often, or sit here thinking "i am winning"

the problem with some of this ranking and stuff it enourages people to virtually spam the forum.

Hell, i can post like a madman, but you will generally find it's with a purpose?

Tell me it's for a purpose LOL
