ok i think the issue here is not so much that the post counts have been removed... that's not the problem... there's a few problems that have lead to people either refusing to post, or not being bothered to post... i'll just put some things down that ive been hearing from other people. i don't agree with all of them... 1. because there has been so much whinging going on here about the whores, and the amount of posts, to the point of people caring enough to have the boards changed to "club lounge" and "car discussion", i think some people just don't want to post in here if all they are going to get from the rest of the club is a mouthful of abuse for it... 2. some silver members (mainly the whoring ones), have gotten fed up with all this whining from non-silver members about their little club not being perfect and easy for them... i agree with this: what right do you have to whinge and moan about a FREE forum/community? you didnt pay for it, so you're not losing anything if its not perfect... here's jason's analogy: someone gives you a free can of coke, but its not chilled... do you yell after him and abuse him for not refrigerating it for you? no. you don't. i'm not saying that becuase we've donated my $40 to steve, silver members have a right to complain.. but go and read back on all this crap... its the non-silver non-whores that started it all... dylan made a simple little thread about posts not being in the wrong section, and we took notice and stopped... BUT THEN, some of you had the nerve to come out and complain about ALL post whoring and tell us that its wrong in ANY thread... wonder why we have the sh!ts? 3. some of us have been busy, and its just come at the wrong time as far as the forum is concerned- just when everything changes... i know I have had alot of things come up, and i can name others who just dont have time to post up in here anymore... that will do for now... you have to understand there are a number of reasons for not posting, and post count has nothing to do with it... but i think the general feel amongst the whores is that we were having fun doing our thing. we saw a complaint about doing it in the wrong section, and we seriously all said to each other (on msn and on here) that we should keep it to our whoring threads and the complaints just kept on coming...
