That ain't right.

The comment about his postcount related to data gave me a most wonderful idea. All postcounts on every forum everywhere should be replaced with the total amount of data a user's posts take up, going by 1 character = 1 byte. (pictarz would count for like 1 or maybe 10 bytes, regardless of size >_>)
Thus all those short spammy pointless one word posts are not worth as much as a long thought out post <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> Granted, people could make a really long spam posts (*coughesunacough* <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> ) but those are easily taken care of as they are more obvious.
Now this ain't a suggestion for the boards, I know it would require a ton of work to do anywhere, but I had to share my revelation. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

$count = strlen($result[0]);
$count = $count / 1024;
Of course, I don't know how the variables/database is setup on these forums, but I reckon something like this might work? <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Indeed, by borking the bork, you bork the bork of the borked bork.

Edit: And the problem with the first post is that pictures can say a 1000 words, and text itself doesn't take up much space. Make a text file, and write 1000 words, and see how much it actually takes up.
Bad idea in a way unless it's not taken too serious. Keep number of post.

But why would I bork the bork of the bork; it would bork the borkitude of the bork, thus borking it as a bork worthy of borking.
you do that and i will bork it up

And change everyone's name to a randomly assigned number. Forum theme gets changed to gray and we all must talk in newspeak.
New NS forums are double plus good!

Gees, that wouldn't be obvious bait for a post count resetting.
[edit] what would we do about quotes? since from that alone I would have gained exactly what he gained and then some.
