Of course, and I don't actually intend to do that-- but you do realize that my point is that having so many other counting threads is doing exactly that, and I do think it's a problem. It's a point I've tried to help illustrate before.
Some of them are more creative than others, but so many are just basically counting, with no spin on it or gimmick or anything. We could have 50 counting threads on the first page, and they would tend to stay there because of the nature of the "game". Anyone who wanted to play any other kind of game would have to go to page 2 or 3 usually.
