Lost 200 posts?

averyrm · March 20th, 2007, 08:09

Alright, I don't want to be the "Look at my post count guy" but I was slowly working my way up to Old Skool (I want to be one of the popular kids) but today I noticed I lost about 200 posts?

Am I just crazy, or did something happen?

Did you piss off a mod?

Sure it was in the past few days? A few months ago now there was a hickup and everyone lost some posts.

I was a short hair away from 500, like 3 posts away, now look what has become of me

JaceTheAce · March 20th, 2007, 10:53

My post count went down too.... along with AngelFuree's.

Lee D · March 20th, 2007, 11:10

That must qualify me as a "look at my post count guy" as well.

Yep mine went down about 200 too. Same thing happened to me a year or two ago. That's the second time I went back to junior member. Rats!! Doug even gave me a hard time about it once, something like: "For a guy who has been around since 2000 you sure don't post much."
True I don't post 10 times a day, but I do participate more than my count indicates. OK, my whining is done.

I merged a couple of forums (Aeromed/Ask a flight surgeon) and re-indexed the forum stat because the software required it.

Why the post counts went down? I have no idea, but here's the good news! That's an arbitrary number!

JaceTheAce · March 20th, 2007, 11:34

Doug ...and now your post count is up to 27,000+?

I remember you reset your post count after the new software changes a while back.

It is clearly a conspiracy! Doug displaced all of our posts so he could have more! I'm telling Kristie!

Seriously though, I lost a couple thousand.

NotCoolEnufToFly · March 20th, 2007, 12:06

Doug, what do I have to do to get you to share some of those, ~cough~ lost (

) posts???

E_Dawg · March 20th, 2007, 12:22

Doug, you stole 1000 of my posts. That's okay though - I was starting to think maybe I spend too much time here.

Doug Taylor · March 20th, 2007, 12:51

I'm amused that people pay attention that closely to post counts!

E_Dawg · March 20th, 2007, 13:15

Yeah Doug, act like you don't care. You know you love your 27,000 posts

SteveC · March 20th, 2007, 14:19

You could just get rid of the post count completely. Titles too.

Wouldn't hurt my feelings!

Hmm weird, I can't be sure but I can't recall ever posting in the Medical forum. It must be something else.

NotCoolEnufToFly · March 22nd, 2007, 00:00

Awesome! I just signed up for JC yesterday. I had a grand total of 3 posts and all of the sudden I have several hundred and I'm a senior member... wonder where these came from???!?! Oh well...
