Dear Reality Board Observer,

Who do some boards show post counts and
others don’t?

Dear Just Curious,

Good question. I’m personally against showing post counts on a board. They are embarrassing for both the people with very high post counts and for those with very low post counts. They also intimidate newbies from joining when they see many people with high post counts. The newbies feel like they are intruding on a private party. Keeping the post count invisible also cuts down on mindless posts that people make in order to run their post count up.
