We had what was called an Ackers system and we were paid for every post we made (more if you started a thread and a certain amount for each time someone posted in your thread), The Ackers could be used to buy treats for Petz or other members, (if you want to know about petz please do a search), it was found that alot of people would only come on and post in the anything goes section which didn't help make the rest of the site.
So it was decided by the administrator and the mods that post counts wouldn't count in those sections to encourage people to use the other sections.
The ackers and the petz disappeared after various crashes of the site but the rules still stand because one day, we hope Roy will get around to putting them back on.
You can read about the Ackers system here:-

hope that helps.
Please everyone remember if you don't know about something quite often there is already a thread about it, just type you query into the search box (and you should be able to find the relevant information).
