I have wondered this since I first joined, why do the posts in the Off-Topic Sections not count toward our total post count. I realize that they are "off-topic" and all, but they're still posts, right? I'm not disagreeing with Brad and or Scott's judgement, I', just wondering why the descision was made? Other than that, I am very pleased with the forums. The atomosphere is great and everyone is generally helpful and informative. I would like to thank you guys and the Moderating Team for the great experience.
Thanks,
Colin

My guess is a lot of it is just noise and some not so useful to all of us that own a Mustang ? so maybe it has to be a real so called value opinion, but I think they stated it somewhere in here.

Colin,

As far as I remember, the off topic posts were shut off so that post counts weren't run up and so that people would post more in Mustang related issues.
