Jay-qu Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 This morning I had 3,435 post and Clay had 4,496 - now I have 3,319 and Clay has 3,939. These are the only examples that I could find quickly and easily but Im sure more have experienced the same thing. So is there some cleaning up going on or what :) ;) what else would cause post counts to plumet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Rep is disappearing too. Break out the DDT!:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C1ay Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 I see Buffy's count is down from 2,999 as well. Something's up. Rep is disappearing too. Break out the DDT!:)If posts are deleted the associated rep goes with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tormod Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Housekeeping, folks. :) I reset the post count. I "lost" 200 posts in the process myself. BTW nothing has been deleted so if rep is disappearing it is because you gain rep by reaching certain post counts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay-qu Posted October 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 what does it mean to 'reset the post count' and how is it that we loose some posts but not others, while you say that they arent been deleted :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfiniteNow Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 Yeah... can you give us a better idea as to what "tables are being dusted?" I've lost 3 rep points... EDIT: Could have something to do with a big neg rep I didn't realize till just now. Never mind... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C1ay Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 what does it mean to 'reset the post count' and how is it that we loose some posts but not others, while you say that they arent been deleted :shrug:It could be part of the archiving process but I'm just guessing....

Tormod Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 what does it mean to 'reset the post count' and how is it that we loose some posts but not others, while you say that they arent been deleted :shrug: It simply means that posts are counted all over again. We haven't done this in a while. I guess one reason might be that the introduction forum does not count towards post count anymore. Another reason may be that you have responded in threads which have been deleted (spam threads etc). I don't think archiving will affect post count but I may be wrong.

Tormod Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 Ok, first to 10K wins! I'll keep resetting counters if anyone gets uncomfortably close to me. :shrug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
