Post count purging?
 

I've noticed I swear I lost 200 or so posts (count wise at least) and Deathshand...well, he doesnt show the fact he was/is the post count king for nearly all eternity (down to 3k or so now :eyes: )

Did something happen we missed?

Re: Post count purging?
 

Yeah, I was in the 11,000 range. Definitley going to need that fixed soon.

Re: Post count purging?
 

I wonder what I am at!

Re: Post count purging?
 

I imagine that this is an after effect of the changes we recently made to the data storage. I'll see if we can't find out what happened.

Re: Post count purging?
 

Gm is below 10k.

Oh noes!

Re: Post count purging?
 

Someone may have re-indexed the post counts. That would purge your post count contribution from Nintendose as well as our previous server.

If so I don't believe this action can be undone, not without manually editing everyone's post count.

Re: Post count purging?
 

If that's true I shouldn't have lost any posts.

Edit: Fancy that.

Well it was either Bond who did it, or it was the system that reindexed automatically.

P.S. Deathshand had way too many posts anyways.

He may have but he had to keep the title :p

Hopefully whatever happened gets fixed. Probably was a computer being a little too happy or whatever

I'm thinking this was probably my mistake. I do maintenance every other week, updating the search index, rebuilding forum and thread information, etc. One of the options is to update post counts, and I must have accidently done that one. I don't really think it's an extremely huge deal, but if some of you do I supose we could manually adjust your post counts.

All I know is that whoever is responsible for this catastrophe, their actions may one day be forgiven but never forgotten. And remember, a guilty conscience never fades.

Re: Post count purging?
 

And here I thought the days of caring about post counts were over.

Re: Post count purging?
 

Post counts are like a badge of honor showing senority or that you have a lot of free time at your disposal.

Re: Post count purging?
 

I like it better this way, makes it look like I might have somewhat of a life...

Re: Post count purging?
 

And you wonder why you're no longer a mod and no one takes you seriously anymore.

Re: Post count purging?
 

I would really really like Angrist to have 5000 posts again. It was such a nice round post count.

And while you're at it, do ~Vin~s too. From 20 to 5000. :)
