While I've never really felt the total obsession that some people had with their postcount you certainly could see a deterioration in the Milestones thread. It's only natural to find round numbers like 50, 100, 500, 1000, 5000.... significant. This is afterall a cricket site a sport where such personal milestones in the game are celebrated. But for a long time that thread was full of posts not about significant milestones, but a place to say "wooohooo 123 posts". I feel the "what have you achieved today" thread will be exactly as pointless. It will (and has already filled) with totally random non-achievements. Not "I've just got a new job" or "I gust got an A on an exam" but posts more in the style of "I've just got out of bed" (Yes I know that hasn't been posted, but I am using it for dramatic effect) now that is an achievement of sorts (well for me it is) but it's not the sort of thing anyone else would care about reading and here's the point of this rather longwinded post...If you fill the thread with posts that people won't really care about and the thread just becomes about posting something that only you care about it won't be worth having either.
