Forum Games
« on: August 09, 2011, 06:31:09 AM »
Posts in Forum Games don't count toward post counts.

Any reason for the change?
Last time I checked, posting on forum games is still posting on the forum.

Some people abuse forum games to raise post counts. So to be fair, we disabled post count in the forum game forum so those people wouldn't abuse it, and the people who actually like forum games(or just plain bored) would continue.

Are post counts honestly that important? Keep in mind, Forum games are NOT the meat of Cutstuff.

No, I do not believe that post counts are important.

However, the fact that people abuse forum games to raise their post counts seems to suggest that there are people who don't agree with us.

That being said, whether you think that forum game posts should count or not, I wouldn't discount their importance to the website.
I know that I check Cutstuff.net a lot more often so that I can review forum games.
That leads me to the other sections as well.
So without them, I may not have had many of the 'meatier' posts that I have now.
I'm sure there are many of the same disposition.

Just some food for thought.
I was only curious.

Questions: Will old posts in forum games before this switch be deleted?Will the posts from Forum Games still appear in your post cache?

1) No.
2) Any posts made before the switch will remain in your post cache.
