Default 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 )

Did something happen we missed?

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.
