		I was actually talking about the forum as a living object, not someone starting the padding just for fun. You need to be more careful Fyron, you might hurt its feelings.

		Post counts are by no means necessary for forum sustainability. It is posting that matters, not counting the posts.

		I swear one day Fyron's going to just snap when he sees one of these threads and hunt down every single person who posts in them, bringing them a horrible violent death... 
...oh damn...
