to encourage more posting in the other categories.

Except it's not really working. You need to offer positive incentives to post somewhere, not negative incentives to not post somewhere.

It's working pretty well actually, paired with the not showing lounge posts on the board index; we've seen an increase in on-topic discussion.

Ok, but can you actually attribute that to killing the post count as opposed to advertising and other means of increasing activity?

I agree with @[deleted]'s point. Just saying that you shouldn't assume it's the post counter change that brought on the on-topic discussion.

Unsure how increasing activity has anything to do with the quality of the discussions.
