*no one is a "noob" in this place... noob is such a harsh term... Plus just because you stayed here long that doens't make you superior compare to new members, so calling someone or yourself a "noob" for not being here during the times of old PC is just stupid... heh then should we all bow down and call Kwesi Lord of Lords, and address Lightning as the Goddess? No we don't and we never will unless one of them conquer the world or something*
*taking away post count really rids the "motivation" behind too many members who are posting right now... why do something without motivation? they'll just leave... post count is a symbol of power and respect, and a lot of members in PC strive to post more to reach for this almightly power and respect... that's the motivation of posting for some members (inevitable). Taking the motivation away is the same as forcing them away from PC*
*It's very hard to count the post counts if someone joined old PC... as old PC always delete threads once in awhile due to database error (doesn't happen on new PC though)*
