Removepostcount (or #removepostcount) is a tiny movement to remove post count that began on March 14th, 2013 in response to the spambotting by Ventus and general abuse of post count. The movement was low-key at first but exploded in July of 2013, shortly before Ventus overtook Fastlane250 for top poster on all the forums, after Fastlane backed it personally. At the height of the movement during 2013, it was backed by numerous mods, quite a number of people on S&I, and the majority of OT (this tidbit in particular had to do with forum rivalries, as Ventus was from RT and was crusading to top poster in the name of RT). However, Ventus eventually passed Fastlane, nothing was done, the changes were not implemented at all, and the movement basically fell apart afterwards. As of 2014, the majority of what remains of the movement is RTCity leaving it as his primary group and occasionally bumping the threads pertaining to removing post count that already exist.
