Welcome, Comrade, to Super LP Bros.


Super LP Bros is a website mainly dedicated to the magical world of "Let's Play's". A Let's Play is a video or series of pictures in which the creator plays through a video game (usually from start to finish) and explains all about the game and shows off little-known details along the way. Our aim is to bring the LPing community together. It's our goal to offer help to anyone who strives to improve their own Let's Play's. If you've read to this point I'd say it's high time you join our little community. You'll be making new friends and improving your LP's in no time. We may not be the most "Politically Correct" forum out there, but we all have a good time. Registration is simple, fast, and only requires you to sell us your soul.


Join now and we won't hurt you!

Debate Topic #1: Forum Games and Spam Can Post count
Let me start the debate here.

I think that we should have the Forum Games and Spam can post counts to be ADDED to our post count because it is a part of the forums and EVERYTHING should count towards the post count. Also the Forums and Spam Can is mainly the most popular topics in the whole forum and why get rid of the post count for them.

I agree with Prower on this issue. Too many users spam the spam can, and the forum games are easily spammable as well. Most posts towards those two boards are absolutely meaningless, posts that don't need to be counted. This could also encourage increased traffic in the boards this forum is meant for, which would be much appreciated. Most forums already have this feature in place for reasons we should be taking into account as well.

Being at school has nothing to do with the fact of post count, I would like us to disable post count for these forums, as it makes it hard to judge who is helpful for newer members, unless we get something like a "thank" counter to thank someone when they are helpful.

(Also why is it such a big deal about losing post count from those two forums?)

Well i don't like to post unless i can post something that is relevent to the topic and i don't bother going to the LP part when in school because again i can't really watch them i mean maybe SSLP's would be visble to me but i actully have never seen an SSLP (never watched or read them at least). Also at Prower i'm not saying i would care if i lost my count's i'm just stating my opinion on the matter. that and i think that it's could obvouis as to who's helpful by checking where they most post (assuming that there is such a function on the forums not something that's really ever pertrained(sp) to me)

I also belive i am debating this because i love to debate thing's because i like hearing other opinion's(kinda pointless for me to post that last part but still)

No no no. I meant that you would still be able to post in the spam in games sections. It's not like they would be removed.

Except for the fact that helpfulness =/= post count. It's all too easy to put thousands of posts into Forum Games. Post count should indicate more closely how helpful a person is and how active he/she is in relevant and more important boards. If you're only active in the Spam Can, you might as well be on a different forum.

I'm sorry but in all the forums i've been on i have never seen "helpfulness =/= post count" being true (no offense) but from personal experiance Post count = Activity

I agree with that we are active forum members and we post where we want and it should count no matter what.

You're saying that 'post count = helpfulness 100% of the time', then? That's just plain wrong. Post count is indeed mostly equivalent to activity, but with the count enabled in boards like the two we're discussing, all of your posts could be useless spam for all we know. At least it's a requirement to stay on topic and discuss what this place is for on all of the 'main' boards.

I'm not saying you spam. I'm talking about posters in general. I'm not aiming at anyone here. What I'm saying is that a user is able to easily inflate the post count by posting anything irrelevant to what the board is for. The posters with a high post count here tend to have a large portion of their posts in these boards, most of which do not contribute to the forum as a whole. Only posts contributing to LPs and other related subjects should be counted.

I coming in the conversion here.

Yes, I know I have a high number of post counts and I do look at the other topics and post in them and when I get the chance I do go to the forum games and post there and sometimes there are other people on at the same time. Thats why we get higher post count. I think that we can post anywhere and it should count. The shoutbox do not count as posting so what I am saying is that a post is a post no matter where it is as long as it belongs in that topic
