While this discussion is very interesting and has a lot of merit, mods or anyone else is not going to rewrite the forum software to make it work this way 😉. Too bad...

It's not a matter of re-writing anything, it's simply a matter of enabling or disabling a feature.

FuseTalk supports a lot of stuff that is not enabled here, just like they've enabled things that are not enabled elsewhere.

Postcounts do have their place in some areas (namely FS/FT), it gives an indication how long someone has been around & how involved they have been.

That's crazy, it has no meaning in that. Heatware is what that's for.

What about a new member to FS/FT? Because he/she has no heat, would you consider him/her someone you wouldn't deal with? 😕

No, i would deal with them... and have. There would just be extra precaution to such things. I'll treat somebody with 0 postcounts and 0 heatware the same as i would somebody with 5,000 postcounts and 0 heatware.

Ebay works well with no postcounts, i don't see why here wouldn't. Like i said earlier, you don't need postcounts to differentiate between the regulars and the newer guys here. And there are lots who have been here for years, but who's postcounts are low simply because they don't bump or randomly quote people every day.

Ebay works because there are safeguards in effect from the CC companies and the like that is not available here at AT. It's either you go by PC and/or HW, otherwise it's a "personal" deal, if the sale/deal goes bad, you have no one to contact except the TH's IMHO. Again, my heat is in my sig, what's yours? 😕
 
even if post count were taken away, i would still post the same as i do. That coming from what was once one of the biggest nefs this side of Skoorb and Adul.

Maybe at 640x480 but at triple the resolution the true size comes out.
