Hi all we had to remove the hack and post counts will decrease again for ALL of us. This hack was giving me database errors and was interfering with other items on the board, sigh...I will keep looking for a better solution. BUT, your counts won't decrease as fast as before, only little by little if a thread is old, or whatever...before they did because we had a hidden DEAD THREADS section and I had to remove all of them so that was why was so drastic. Please be patient as I figure something out for us. Sorry. Won't be that bad now though...

Hey, why did I get demoted back down to Light Load Member with only 183 posts? I did have over 1200 before, what's up with that?
-
Approximately 30 days...
The First and Last Post thread was whacked. All post counts were adjusted accordingly. -
Most have been all that 2nd hand smoke....
ya just thought ya had 1200 before...

When they put the first and last post wins threads and the games threads together in a new sub-forum, they decided to no longer to count the posts for those threads because they were bringing the whole forum to a halt. I went from 3650 down to 255! Guess you can tell where I spend MY time on here!

Oh, well. I don't really care about the post counts anyway. You'll still play games with us won't you Phil? -
YOUR post count will do down on LONG threads that are deleted.
smurf-316 Thanks this. -
Same thing happens to staff
Heck once I went from 5500+ to 1600+ over night

We have this problem fixed now as the game threads no longer count toward post count...this way this doesn't happen again. IF you posted a LOT in the game threads (last post wins, etc.,) then yes your post count will go down when we delete them because they are so long and make our database HUGE. Now they won't go down because they won't go up if you post in those a lot. The rest of the forum stays the same as far as post counts. Thanks.
broncrider and smurf-316 Thank this. -

May I please get a reply as to why my post #'s are going down instead of up? thank you. Stretchy
They were over 500 many times. -
Most people who post frequently in "Last Post" will experience a drop in their post count once a game ends and the old thread is deleted. Since most of the "last posters" have more than the minimum number of posts required to send PM's, the deletion of the old thread and the resulting post count drop shouldn't be a problem.
