I don't think post counts matter as much to people as people think, they dont matter to me, I usually look at the name and what I have read from them in the past to contribute to my personal respect for them.

[quote name='Trakan']No, I don't think it's abusing the boards. I don't care about posts counts. Take them all away and start me from 0 for all I care. The OTT are just as much a part of the site as the deals. I doubt anyone here cares about post counts. They like talking to others and being part of the community. Seriously, have you ever missed a deal just because of an off topic thread being on the main page? You can browse the forums you know, you don't have to stay on the front page. Yes, I realize that the front page usually has the best deals. When there are deals such as the TRU clearance thread etc, no OTT thread will ever bump it from the front page. You act like it's such a big deal. Even if all 5 OTT threads were on the front page it's not like they'd all stay there. Get over it and stop being an ass.[/quote]

Yaeh I really don't care either that much about my post count, but having a record of my posts/where they are to go back toread them is helpful. I mostly just joke about my count any way. Ive been cut back before and it really doesn't matter to me all that much like it did back then. Back then it really killed me but still it wasn't that big of a deal. I think all of the OTTers like to go back and see what has been read.
 
[quote name='Trakan']Hiccup and dz, don't leave until we see what's actually going to happen. Sneaky, :rofl:[/quote]

Don't worry to much though thanks. I'll probably just lurk around and maybe post here and there, you know deals but I don't some of the fun of CAG has gone away.
 
I bought a joystick for my MacIntosh (which would actually be my dumbest thing, but fortunately the computer was paid for by my father, not me, so I can't count that). I got it at EB, and traded in a bunch of games for it, including a lot of NES games that I received only a dollar or two a piece for. Most of these NES games were crap, but a few (Zelda 1 and 2, Metal Gear) I'll never forgive myself for trading in. Anyway, I get this joystick, and a few weeks later the computer stops working properly. Then, a few weeks after that, the joystick gets stepped on and broken. End result - I traded in most of my NES games and around $30 for a joystick I used for a few days.
Oh yeah, I also bought Star Wars Obi Wan for $50 when it first came out. Luckily, EB still had their open return policy, so I was rescued there.

evilmax17 , I would just like to make one more point to you if you are still reading this thread, if you think that posting in another forum that its title is OTT is inflating your post count than posting in any forum outside of the deals forum is technically going OTT. Why don't you go to one of those Xbox Halo threads and tell that to them?

It would suck, but I wouldn't care, either. Being able to go back to the old topics and read them brings back memories. I'm gonna miss them. :cry:

Yeah, it's not the post counts or the deals we get in on, it's the memories that we make in the OTT that make it worthwhile to be on CAG.

And with that, I'm off to play some GTA.
