I don\'t care for it and neither should you. It is better to keep the whole counter hidden - for it is still easily accessible if one is interested in knowing his / hers count, or the counts of the fellow members.
I believe the decision to \'hide\' the post-counter was good - for it reduces spamming / trolling to an extent. It also gives a nice "We don\'t give a damn about post-counts" -message to the newbies, whom so easily fall into the temptations of the counter and spam only to make their egos grow.
Clowd, as an experienced PSX2Centralite you should know that the post-count will not become visible. I, at least, enjoy the ability to check my counter when I wish - and only when I wish. I have promised to check the counter only once a week. That way I can surprise myself.
