Accordingly, some of you may notice your post count is decreased. Please do not begin posting crap in non-coffee lounge threads just to bump your post count or I will reset your post count to 0 These changes are a result of suggestions and feedback in this thread.

Do you think it's worth posting a thread in the coffee lounge linking people to this thread as I'm not sure how many people come to 'Linux Forums Site News' section? just a thought to try and prevent any "where have all my posts gone" threads starting up. __________________ Ubuntu Jaunty :: Arch Linux (current) :: Acer Aspire 1692WMLi

That's a good idea. I've posted a thread in there pointing to this announcement. Hopefully more people will read it that way. I've already recieved one angry PM asking about it.

I enjoy wrinting in the coffee lounge forum and I will keep doing it. This section will only get better without the one posting there only to hunt penguins...
