Really kinda sucks. I miss the posting races.
There was a rash of people competing for large post counts in Spamalot so "they" decided to change it so OT posts didn't count to stop them from having fun with their game.
...And possibly because "they" found it annoying.
What, you forget the pikachu clan? I admit, I was a member of it and was one of the leading posters at the time, often in the "spam wars" with Spamalot at the time. Ah, good times. Then they redid everything so that you can only have 5 quotes (granted, it sometimes did become ridiculous with quotes), posts in OT and private forums no longer count towards post counts, and more and more lately, rules have become much stricter (and evidently new ones were put in place without them being posted). But, it didn't help that Flame Wars was deleted (but it had become a cesspool overtime), wicked going nuts, and Norse continuously coming back. I think he may have set a record for permabans with all of the multis he made.
