    As many of you will probably notice, every users post count has dropped. This is because I had the forum recalculate post counts, and so any posts in topics that were deleted have been removed from your count. For some, this amount is negligible, but for others this is a major drop. I'm sorry if you feel cheated out of posts, but the new post count number is the true tally of how many posts you have on this forum. The inflated numbers some of you had previously are a side-effect of how the forum system works, because it does not remove posts from your post count that have been deleted. Thank you all for your understanding, and have a Happy Easter! (for those who celebrate it)

        Close to 600 posts gone, is there any real reason for me staying now?
        (*was so close to getting 5000*)

            I have a question- why does it do that? Can't you just set it so it automatically does that or something?
            Anyway, I don't know why, but my post count was not affected at all. Wierd, eh?

              *Doesn't know current post count. Hope it's >1950.
              Anyways, have a good Easter everyone.



              *lost 200 posts* Oh well.
              And I assume this recalculation hasn't been done in a while.

                Well, I'm not a disciple anymore, but its okay.

                But, can't there be a way that you can keep your old post count when posts get deleted?

                      Kiku's a she.

                      I don't know how many I lost but around 550 posts seems right for me.

                          The only posts that were dropped from my count were from the spam forum. I remember having 200+ posts there ._.;

                              Must be the longer you have been here the more you lost.
                              I think I lost around 500 in total.

                                of course. if you've been here for ages than you would have posted heaps in long dead topics.

                                I can't even remember what my post count was. But I doesn't look too different to me.

                                  Meh, I only lost a few hundred, I think. I'm pretty sure I was around 1800, I don't know though. I might have only lost like...30 posts. :D

                                      I haven't been on for a couple of days and I missed this topic (and I didn't notice it in the "announcements" forum), so I was a bit confused about having lost about 50+ posts. anyway, I found this topic now, so sorry about my topic in the "help" forum.

                                            That is not all that bad, like what happened to Agatio.

                                                  But hey, you have 4000!!!!! You should be happy with that, that is awesome!

                                                    Meh. Never really paid much attention to my post counts anyway. Haven't even kept track of my posts.

                                                      I agree with what Zxor said. 4000 posts is A LOT. Look on the bright side, Agatio; you're still beating the second-highest poster by 1000+ posts.

                                                              I have a question.
                                                              To prevent what would seem like HUGE drops in post counts, is there a way in the Admin CP to scedule this so it recalculates post counts every day or week? It would also be a far more accurate number of posts.

This helps me, like, don't try to get to 5000, try to get to 4500, then 5000. Well, sometimes that helps me, and I am trying to get to 1000, if I do......I would be So happy.
