    Are you a statistics craze?

    Do you feel that your post count is important, thread count, member count, etc? Why do you feel that statistics are everything?

    Personally, no. I do not feel that post count and such means everything and makes a forum go 'round.

    Statistics can be very encouraging (or discouraging, for that matter) but they aren't what makes the world go 'round.

    Yeah, these are the kind of numbers I love to keep track of. They're very encouraging (or discouraging), like Nick said.

    Of course they're encouraging, I definitely agree.

    However, high number can be discouraging too!

    I'm quite sure that he meant "daunting"... right, Tom?
