Missing posts

Toadem · 1 Jul 2014 at 15:35

Having just made a post a couple of minutes ago when I looked at my post it was showing me with around 164 posts, last time I posted here I had just over 400, does anyone have any idea why my posts count has dropped by over 250 posts?
Im pretty sure I read somewhere that larger threads were being archived but surely this should not affect user posts counts?

Anyway post count doesn't really matter. It should not be used as a willy wagging tool and the health and operation of the forum is more important.

Yes your quite right and why would someone with just under 500 posts on this forum worry about "willy wagging" their post count, I was thinking more along the lines of I now lose my free shipping as I am under the required number, but thanks for the input.

Did you post a lot in "this instant and moment"(I think that was the thread)? If so blame maccy

Yes I did use that quite a lot in the past, I would have thought that a forum archive would not prune post counts though

It was drunkenly deleted not archived afaik.

Darn, that leaves me with a lot of making up to do then.

Why are people so bothered about post counts? If a big thread gets deleted and you have posted say 50 posts then yes you will lose those 50 post count.

If you read my last message you would understand why I was asking about my post count.

Me and acme were the biggest causalities from that, I lost 1500 posts of my 4000.

Ouch

I normally skim through the forums a couple of times a day and read what catches my eye so I had never really noticed it until I posted a couple of minutes ago.

Or even hint at that in your OP?

That would be as bad as willy wagging

, I didnt just make the posts to get the free shipping but it was certainly a great option to have.
I just wondered if it had been a forum bug or something before I started bugging people, I was looking to try and order a new CPU but that looks like its on hold so that I can spam you lot with more irrelevant posts.

you can have 250 of mine if you want....I don't get free shipping anyway.

The offer is greatly appreciated

I will just need to put in a little more effort and stop lurking so much, now let me see, who's thread can I bomb

I think the new TIAM thread is a darn sight better than the old one.

I'll need to check it out.

, I pwomise I will be on my best behavior

Or, just pretend to be a Man Ure supporter and then link the club with every player in the known Universe.

I thought thats what Man U supporters did anyway just to feel like their in with a chance at a decent player
