I agree with this. I don't really see the need to break-out a separate chat forum. Chatting is "off-topic" afterall, and fits fine in the Off-Topic Forum. If post-whoring gets to the point of being disruptive to the off-topic forum, we will simpy disable post counting for the off-topic forum.
Thanks for the suggestions.

Thank you for your consideration.
I don't think we were ever disruptive, so I'm going to take this as we can post off-topic chat-type posts as we used to.
I'm 47yrs old, and personally don't understand the concerns previously stated regarding off-topic post counts.
The reason this became an issue, is because our excellent mods felt obligated to limit our off-topic posting, just doing their not-so-easy job.
What you say makes sense to me Tran, it's off-topic by definition. Perhaps a little too much importance, and/or competitive spirit has been applied to user post count totals.
I personally don't need my post count high to validate anything.
Thanks to everyone, and happy posting!
