Thank you. Though, ironically, immediately after posting this I realized I had gotten the proper post count so I didn't even need to ask this. How funny is that. Oh well, at least now I know if I ever need to answer that question myself.
So, this forum has the classic "5 posts to post links" rule and, like most other forums I've been on, there are places that don't count towards your post count. But you probably knew that already.
Long story short, I can't find where it says where your posts do and do not count. I'm assuming...
