Yea, the whole post count thing, and ratings (tadpole, guppy, grouper, etc) are all in forums so folks know how much experience other people have on the forum. Now, sometimes there is the mistake on a forum like this where the number of posts somehow equates to scuba experience... There are people with a lot of posts that do not have much diving experience... And folks that have thousands of dives and just a handful of posts!
It's really all just for fun, and as the previous poster pointed out, we do have multiple incentives for posting in the forum in the way of gift certificates for hitting some post numbers. But we want those posts to at least have something to do with scuba! So the word games, threads about the Bourne Identity, who pee's in the shower, etc... are not included in post counts.
Hope that makes sense and seems fair!
