For reseting post counts I don't care, I don't have to many anyways 
. I don't suppose you'd need any mod for that, just some mySQL for setting all the values to zero.
About making the post count visible only in the profiles, all that needs to be done is to delete some lines from a template file, but there's a "mod" that will help you at http://www.phpbbhacks.com.
And the chat. There are three alternatives: Tagboard (not really a chat though), refreshing tagboard (get's really anoying after a while because of the refresh), and a real IRC chat. The cool thing about the real chat is ofcause that it's a real chat without anoying refreshes and such, but then. the downside is that you have to login and download the java applet first.
Installing the mod that disables post count in certain forums is easy aswell, I just did it at qbasic.tk. But I don't know if it would solve the problem here, the problem at qbtk was that many people had an urge to post totally irrelevent posts in serious topics.... real spam.
There's also another alternative to post counts. It's called points awarding system or something. When someone asks a question, they set out a number of "points" it will give to answer their question, and then, when someone replies with an answer they can use, they press 'My question is answered by this post', and the poster recieves the points. That would only work for the "helping" forums ofcause, but I just thought you might like to hear.
