The whole concept of people caring about their number of posts or their DVDtalk title is so ridiculous to me. Look at me! I'm cool!! I post all the time!!!
Basing the titles on number of posts just encourages people like this to abuse the system.

But I think DVDTalk strikes a balance between both. They need people to be active in the community and encourage posting, while not encouraging frivolous pads.

Oh, crap, sorry about that... I tried sending it through Hotmail but it was too big. I'm in the middle of a lot of things right now, and it slipped my mind. Let me try with another account.

Let me know if my Yahoo account doesn't accept it and I'll give you another email address.

I got docked 100 posts for mentioning my rollover from one title to another, but I didn't know there was a penalty involved.
I went through several Title changes, but eventually, I wore off and retained the title... but had to make up the posts.
But I have noticed some folks go unpunished (threads locked, but no 100-post penalty), but I'm gonna keep my mouth shut for lack of further angering the Mod-Gods.
