It is apparent to our mod/admin board these past few months that the forum has started to become more "chit chat" in post content and sometimes too focused on individuals getting their post counts higher and higher.

If this continues we will have no choice but to remove the ranking system and post count from all users.

While we have all participated in such harmless stuff over time, it seems the lower quality posts have just mushroomed in the last few months to the detriment of the forum as a whole.  A few members have left us, having grown weary of wading through excessive "chit chat", much of which has nothing to do with toy steam.  

Please reduce the personal chit chat OFF the public side of the forum and/or use the PM (Personal Message) system.  We DON'T want to stifle member enjoyment of the forum, but we need to get this aspect under control so we can ALL enjoy sharing toy steam talk, pics and vids...the very stuff we were founded on.

Thanks for your understanding,
Your Mod/Admin team
