IMPORTANT: My post count won't go up!!!!

As the thread title suggests, no matter how many times I post on CC, my post count remains at 28. Is there a particular reason/rationale for this??? I have made about some 50 odd posts on this site thus far, so is there any way to revive my postcount??? Mods, supermods and Mr. Dooley, please help!!!

posts in the cafe don’t count

a lot of your posts are in the cafe and post count doesn’t go up in the cafe

Why is post count important anyway?

Posts in the cafe and the parents cafe do not count toward your number of posts.
