    It's a dumb challenge, because incrementing a post count number isn't a meaningful metric. Any numpty can do that.

    Posting umpteen thousand useful, relevant, interesting posts -- now that would be a meaningful challenge.

    Shame there's no way to measure that in this software.

    Are you referring to the use of "like" additions to forum software by the last remark? I'm not sure that would ever qualify posts, only that someone else likes it, be it for its clever insightfullness, meanspiritness, shortness or whathavewe.

    No, I don't think he was using sarcasm to suggest that such things exist or that "likes" and "reputation" are valuable forum software additions. Rather, he's suggesting that someone can achieve a large post count without ever saying anything meaningful.
