Has anyone seen my postcount?

Mathew_Freeman · 2nd March 2003, 12:14 PM

You see, I distinctly remember enjoying reaching 3333 posts, and I log on today and suddenly I seem to have not quite so many.

Is this a board problem, or is this the new 'gnome' fun game? Because I know it happened to Crothian once...

I passed 4000 last night, and not long after that, It went back to 3500. Why? Well, i'll tell you. There were/are problems with the server handling long threads(i.e. hivemind), and so some of them were deleted last night, along with our posts. More will go, too, I think.

Ah, OK. At least it's not just me then.

At least you get to hit 3333 posts again. Flimsy, but still a silver lining.

I lost a bunch of posts and a whole thread!

Knight Otu · 2nd March 2003, 02:48 PM

I lost my place in the top 50.

(And a few hours ago, I was in the Top 50, until randomling overtook me.

)

WHoa....

Actually, I'm just posting this to see if I took a hit too...

(Yup - 150 some posts gone)

As you guys might have seen in the last Hivemind thread, I am deleting the old Hivemind threads. It hadn't occurred to me, but that obviously means that anyone who has posted in them is going to lose post count. Doh.

Post count doesn't mean anything anyway...

Crothian · 2nd March 2003, 05:03 PM

I wonder if I can get back to zero

Sniktch · 2nd March 2003, 05:05 PM

Yeah, this'll just reinstate Morrus in the top where he belongs

I don't think I've even looked at my postcount since passing 1000 (well, maybe once or twice, but mainly to track my own addiction

)

Sniktch · 2nd March 2003, 05:07 PM

LOL - I believe this will leave me with around 300 posts, but we'll see when we get there I suppose...

**Darkness** · 2nd March 2003, 05:08 PM

Well, for that, all of your posts would have to be deleted.

I doubt that you can convince him to do so, but Morrus could delete them all at once with just a few mouse clicks.

So, unless EN World starts anew (or you start over with a new account, at least), I don't think that it's viable.

(edit - This of course goes to Crothian, not to the rat bastard who posted twice after him.

)

vBulletin will only display threads available on the forums. If your posts are deleted from the forums, your postcount will decrease.

Ya, it will never happen. I just thought it'd be funny to get as high as I diud and then go back to the begginning.

**Darkness** · 2nd March 2003, 05:35 PM

Then again... Maybe Morrus could enlist Wicht's help, IYKWIMAITYD.

Trevalon Moonleirion · 2nd March 2003, 06:39 PM

if a lot of posts got axed then maybe i'm back to 666 *grins evilly*

lol

You are now under that number

Mathew_Freeman · 2nd March 2003, 07:42 PM

Pkitty - please tell us when you've finished with the deleting, so we can see what we're all left with.

I too think that with ALL the Hivemind threads gone, I'm quite likely to drop under 1000 - a scary thought!

But then, as we've said before, it's not about the postcount.

Kaiyosama · 2nd March 2003, 07:56 PM

AHHHH! My beautiful postcount! Now it looks like Micheal Jackson! AHHHH!

Are you just deleting old hive threads, or others as well? If so, which ones are canidates?
