I heard that *redacted* happened and that *redacted* is *redacted*.

For some reason people like to inflate their post counts to feel better about themselves or something like that, but it is a thing in forums. When you remove the method of getting more post counts in a non-contributive manner, the people that start/post in the threads that are on the border of breaking the rules and spamming the forums thus making people (that actually contribute) want to leave a community goes down significantly.

How are you taking away from legit threads by removing the additions to post count in off topic? The meaningful threads will still be meaningful in OT and you dont need to add to your post count for those, but there is a huge problem with people boosting their post count with an OT forum. In OT you are not adding to anything that deals with the reason that we are all here.

I agree with Yammamushi. The post counts should not be able to be inflated by posting meaningless-just-to-post posts in off topic, and banning people for making posts like that isnt a good answer to that problem. Off topic is totally fine to have, but having posts just to post for adding to your post count is just silly. I saw this happen in the gearbox software community a few years ago, well a decade ago, and the community started to go when people started posting for count number in off topic, and then trying to tote that in actual game related forums. That being said, off topic is a wonderful place that makes a community get to know each other for more than just the game that is bringing them together in the first place, making them a better community. If off topic posts could not be counted towards post count, that would be great. I would hate to see this community fall apart, either now or 10 years in the future when it is millions of people. Just my two cents.

Xbox one runs on a modified version of Windows 10, and before that it ran on a modified version of Windows 8. So your statement is true, but you're wrong. Xbox does run Windows.

Yes, it is very important to uhhh research games.. Did you play ESO at launch, or have you played it after they fixed everything? I played at launch on pc, but it sucked a lot and I played about 3 hours before I quit the game. Then some one told me that they changed everything and it feels like skyrim pretty much to the tee. I haven't stopped having fun since. I'm waiting to play the beta before I decide if I'm going to buy it. Hardline was not a battlefield to me... it is a good counter strike, but not a battlefield game to me. BF4 is still pretty good to me, I love flying the choppers and sniping. What is the thing that you are most looking forward to in DU?

Hey fellow DU future players! Yamamushi has been telling me about DU for months and I have been getting excited about it. I've lurked for a little while, but now it's time to leave the lurkers and join the forum and start talking about it. Traditionally I play FPS, but I have been known to get sacked into MMO games. I'm currently working my way through ESO. It has been hard to find an MMO that is better than project 1999 (aka EverQuest) or ESO. I like multiplayer games that take coordination with others to play the game. That is probably the reason I like playing battlefield 4 a lot, because of the coordination that must happen to achieve victory is intense and always changing. Why do you like DU?
