The problem with post counters is not the fact that people can see how many posts you have made. It's that some people see the post counter as some sort of penis extension (what's the equivalent for a woman? Fanny tightner?? That's got the yanks puzzled!!), so they think that the more posts they make, the better they are.
Pave: You used to hang around the paintballdojo boards a while ago, what happened to it? You got the odd decent thread started, and then it was hijacked by people just posted inane drivel simply so they could up their post count. The count became almost like a holy grail to these people, just seeing who could post the most, when in reality, it was more like a yardstick for who could talk the most ****e.
Get rid of it!!!!
