The problem is, to separate the two "post counts" is to make Chat Threads not to count as the accumlated total. To do this, Soli would have to make a new forum, make the forum so that it doesn't count towards the overal postcount, then move Chat Threads or any threads Soli doesn't like there. A low quality forum, essentially.
There's no viable way to do it, so that...
I really love this idea, it should be like that...
Posts: 200
Chat posts: 25000
:emoji_grin:
Thing is, the chat box is actually a plugin designed by someone else than Soli, unless Soli says different. If he knows how to code it so that it's possible, all power to him. I wouldn't do it, though. Especially if he plans to upgrade to XF2.
I was also wondering about this - I felt like, everyone has/had exorbitant postcounts, and it was crazy. Then I learned that Chat treats each chat post as new posts.
