So this more of a suggestion: but I think the blanket wide posts not being counted in the off topic section is a bit off in the mark. Yes Forum games really shouldnt count towards post counts (and while I'm at it I think the picture competition falls under the it shouldnt count banner too), but the Computer Hardware and Software - Technical Discussion and Support & Planning and Urban Design combined have 1100 posts between them and really the posts should count towards someone's total. Really, the Computer Hardware and Software - Technical Discussion and Support should just become a blanket having a technical issue with SC4 form with community input being used to solve technical issues - and even sticky some of the common fixes.
While I agree about the Computer Hard-Soft section being a little... away from the rest.... Does it really matters? A bunch of numbers in your profile, do you really NEED to have them?
I doubt so...
We did set up a new section on the site, where subscribers could post on anything they liked within reason

I don't think we will be making any changes to the picture competition and I think the Computer Hardware and Software - Technical Discussion and Support board makes sense where it is, but I think a argument could be made to shifting the Planning and Urban Design board into the new subscribers board
