another problem is use of the forums. ideally (in my view) there would be no social chat and very little social disccusion as this would be kept for the chat room. forums would be used to post useful information. but ive seen this with forums and they die.

Incidently, personally I'd love to see smilies removed from the board entirely- i use image blocking software when on HOP and the way it speeds up page loading really shows just how much bandwidth the smilies use up.

It is indeed beyond the point of absurdity, I've seen people making 50 posts a day, most (if not all) of which are just a line or two long or filling with graemlins.
As has already been mentioned, the chatroom is the place for that - you don't even need to download anything to use it (although it's generally better if you get yourself an IRC client).
Also, alot of the repetative posts seem to be from people who know each other fairly well away from these forums and are online at the same times, so the chances are that an msn conversation isn't out of the question, that makes far more sense to me than posting a conversation here.
To put it more frankly, this is the social chat section, not the random gibberish section.
But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

out of interest - this is mainly directed at the mods - why do we have post counts?
this could solve some of the problems of people purposfully trying to reach certain numbers. also it removes the intimidation level

firstly i fail (slightly) to see many of the arguments against post whoring - the bandwidth argument especailly correct me if im wrong but ultimatly the bandwidth for the actual forums will not be exessivly affected by the addition of a post - even several 1000 posts - i mean whats the size of a post? a matter of Kb if that even 1000 of those is only 10Mb and while i know there are several hundred thousand posts that still does not even begin to touch the kind of bandwidth a site like this runs on.
