Do posts in the off-topic forum count towards the 30 post bonus?

Do posts in the off-topic forum count towards the 30 post bonus?

Yes, Kay0338, Off-Topic posts count as long as they meet the Posting Requirements: 
- A contributory post is one that offers some insight, makes people laugh, carries a conversation, provides information or help, or something along those lines.  It's not spam, or an attempt to make money for oneself, and it's not short or missing content

Posts in Word Chains & Countdowns don't count because it should be mainly just short things and copying and pasting. . Posts in the general off topic and debate and discuss will count.
Posts on the promotions board also don't count towards your 30.

Thank you all for the information. Something I've always wondered, but forgot to ask!

For some reason I was also under the impression that 'off topic' did not count toward your 30.  It's good to know that they do go toward the 30 posts.  I like to read and post in 'off topic', cause it's different and interesting.

[Kay0338]

I'm glad to hear I wasn't the only one Berthabutt It'll be a lot easier to reach the 30 posts now that I know I can post in the off-topic area.

I was thinking that they did not count as well.

i have never had an issue with my posts counting.. i know there was a user awhile ago that would post the same question over and over again... no those type of posts we were told would not count!

[rwhite17]

yes, chazman... just popping in to say hi or posting the same thing over and over won't count... the purpose of the bonus is to encourage people to contribute help, etc. or make useful suggestions/chat

Yes off-toptic posts count. Just click on discussion boards and click on off topic and discuss anything you like.

[MissyKj999]

I'm really glad you asked this question. I had no idea that they counted and I think it's great that they do! I haven't had a chance to visit that section of the forum, but it sounds very interesting and I can't wait to check it out. Thanks again!
