Why do we care about our post count?

I do, and don't know why. A thread was recently deleted...I could care less about the thread, its the loss of post numbers that makes me sad. Why do yall care, or don't care?

I cared because, at one point, I had more than you.

I kind of care....I've read these forums since 05, didn't post until 07, regularly until 08. I think it gives you a little "street cred" if you've been here a little while and have quite a few posts. Now at the same time, I try to make my posts "quality posts" but you don't get points for that, ha.

Why would you care about post count that was not really making a contribution? The count is supposed to be an indication of how much you have assisted other members with problems, making a positive contribution to the site. Running up count with post that really belong in GD has a name.

Don't really care much on here. Been posting since that date up there and havent left the site inbetween the years.

I was however pissed when my account got deleted on the IROC forum. I had nearly 10,000 posts and member there since 04. . .
