Ki-tat Chung Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 well, i have a theory that they were eaten up by sectoids. my other one is that all my off-topic posts back in XTC are now discounted. any responses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Err... Off topic posts never increased your post count anyway, ao that's not it or you'd have been on 99,981 posts We did lose the odd forum, but I think it was just the recount tool that set post counts to their correct number. I think Off Topic posts may have originally increased post counts until I got fed up with people posting crap just to get a high post count, so that may have had something to do with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomb Bloke Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Actually, the members in concern have long since left. I was most annoyed when Pete changed that setting, as at that point, I only had time to post in Off Topic. I don't know if the new forum soft does it, but if you posted more often in Off Topic, you could use your profile page to work out your real post count. You see, it tells you the amount of posts you made there - and what percent that was of your total post count. For example, of the 1000 posts or so I made in the last forum, about 2000 of them were in the Off Topic section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Cheer up BB, you still have well over 1000! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomb Bloke Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Heh, It's something I can live with. Acutally, back in the days when I was borderlining on 'n00b' status, some kind moderator at Alliance X (Cyke?) modified my profile and upped my post count. I guess if I felt so inclined I could do the same now. I think I'll see if I can hunt that one down, even if I have no intention of using it. Edit: Found it. I wonder if we could have some competitions along those lines? "Best art wins a couple of hundred posts added to your count" or somesuch. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
