Can we remove these Games from the main stats, search areas?

Fair enough Ross- trouble is don't think a vote will be representative of the audience i am talking about.  The ubbers' probably post 80% of the stuff on this forum as it is - fine if its not total rubbish but its full of total rubbish now.  Only the ubbers will vote on this so don't need much a brain to work out which way that ones going to go    Think health and look of the forum everyone

I'm with you Jon, but given John's feelings (he's clearly a communist I felt I should probably put it to a poll (I'm not a dictator but in some instance that's exactly what is required to make these things work).

Anyhow I have a feeling the common sense will prevail here.

In the meantime, I'll have a think about how I can get that particular board ignore on the unread posts page...a bit of code hacking should do it I'm sure.

Ross thanks for the poll.

Jonb the porn is on other car forums  trying visiting the SELOC forum.

We have a very healthy car forum we have two ares called "games" and "non atom" nothing wrong in that all forums have these areas.  "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy indeed."

Jonb  should we makes this an owners only forum?  How narrow do you want the posts?  You have started and contributed to threads that have nothing to be with cars let alone the Atom.

You irritation is not with the threads or the stats just that you want to clear them out of sight for you.  Remember 99% of the people posting on those threads own Atoms, this cannot be said for some of the other threads here.

Just inspired to post on this by a question asked in the daft games thread about why posts in that area don't count.

Amazing how the threads in question died a death not too long after the posts there stopped counting !

That is all

Amazing to me that anybody cares what there post count is.

Not strictly true. 

Only one of the 5 'big post' threads stopped almost immediately with one after 7 months, one after 12 months, another after 17 months and the fifth one after 19 months.
During this time about 3382 new posts were made on these 5 threads.

In addition, there has been 54 new threads with 1340 posts on the 'Daft Games and Jokes' board since they stopped counting toward the stats so it hasn't quite rolled over and died yet.
