^ Exactly that. I'd also point out that forum games, especially Last to Post, are often the site of discussion and roleplay.
It's not the first time I've heard such a topic get brought up. At the forum that Lio and I came from some years ago, there was a discussion concerning the site's role-playing section and whether or not posts made there ought to be stricken from the users' total counts. Considering that around 98% of my posts there were devoted to RP (if not 99%), and I'd already accumulated (roughly) around 3-5K worth of posts... *helpless shrug* ...well, yeah. Not too many of us were thrilled with that idea.
