POLL: Should Proboards Vault posts count?

It's been a while since I've done a poll, so here's something that's been on my mind for years. In 2024, when the website was brought back, we also added the Proboards Vault posts. On Proboards itself, and on this website for a short while in 2014, those Vault posts (minus the ones in spam categories) contributed to users' post counts, since they were primarily just old topics, and not necessarily useless topics. When those posts were deleted from these forums (which I believe happened in early 2015), everyone's post counts went down accordingly. But when we brought the posts back, the counts didn't go back up again.

So I'd just like to know the general community sentiment: should Proboards Vault posts contribute to post count? You can vote in the poll or comment here.

Personally, I think they should count, since there's a lot of history in there and also it explains why so many people have colored names (750 posts). Also, those people whose post counts got nerfed still have the appropriate achievements for hitting post milestones in their profiles, so there's a weird disconnect where they have the achievements but don't appear to have the requirements. And it's just a quick and easy way to see how much certain people have contributed to these forums over the years that is lost with inaccurate numbers.

I have no idea whether anyone else cares about this, but that's why I'm making this poll.

Well now that I've gotten as many votes on this as I'm going to get, here are some more questions:

What about the IA forums? Should those posts count, or just the MB topics from that category, or none at all?

What if we were to import the GarageGames forums? Should those MB topics count? You could argue no, because that was before we had an independent website, and also we haven't actually done that yet, but I can also use this as a way to gauge interest in that possibility.

Do you want to see Luke Skywalker trolling Matan, thirteen-year-old Kurt trolling Matan, the complete collection of noob mods, every low-effort counting game made across the entire history of Marble Blast, and the many discussions about how to improve the community Discord which seem to resurface every so often, all on one website? Look no further than the Marble Blast Forums, where you can find all that and more just by making an account! (Which you might have to ask the admins to activate for you because you won't get an activation email)

Sound tempting? No? Well, maybe you'll at least ponder my questions above.
