Just my $.02, but threads like "Let's count to a million!" are a bad thing: It's the tail wagging the dog, and destroys credibility for the forum users making real contributions, asking and answering relavant questions. This is important because new members tend to see people with high post counts as "old salts" whose advice should be given some weight .....but if the supposed "old salt" has raised 3 chickens, and poorly at that, yet racked up a huge post count by bangin' on his ENTER key in a "count to...." thread ..... then that post count is total crap..... it's disingenuous and unethical.
I realize that "number of page views" is important to advertisers, but were I in Marketing and took any pride in my work, I'd discount any place that inflates it's traffic with crap like "Let's Count To ......." it makes the traffic numbers comlete BS, and anyone using his ad dollars wisely could figure that out ...... so it's wasted bandwidth.
Again, this is just my opinion, and does not reflect the views of staff, management or shareholders of this site.
