Determines how cool, and in some cases, how majestically powerful you are on a forum.

On internet forums, post count is obviously the counter that tells a person how many posts they've made.

People with astronomically high post counts tend to think they're part of the staff.

Postcount, or "post count": Is the total sum of combined posts a registered user has contributed to a specific internet forum or message board he/she is registered to.

Used widespread on internet message boards, the conjunction of the two words: "post" & "count" was established to define what is postcount, as we know it.
