I have not been counting, but I was sure I was over 3,600 posts and noticed this morning that I have dropped way back to 3,500 plus.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Perhaps some older threads have been deleted?

I've never really noticed mine much, but I do know that old threads being deleted will lessen your counts if you've responded to those threads. Maybe someone is doing some cleanup.
hmmm - I've lost some too because I know that yesterday I was well over 1600 and this post now makes 1599.
I hope no one is deleting Thursday threads.:eek: ;)
Maybe it would be just as well if some of the "evidence" was destroyed.:D :DQuote:

I lost at least 8 last night. I have noticed losing some before, but not that many. The numbers don't worry me, but I wonder if I made somone mad or if I did somthing wrong. I wish that we could be told why, when it happens. So if I did somthing wrong, I would not repeat it.:confused:
I haven't even noticed, I never look at how many post I have. Wonder whats going with them. If everybody is losing them, I suppose I have lost some too....
Willie:confused:
THIS post now makes 1590.
I'm melting......
amoore - its probably nothing that you've done. Threads get deleted two ways. One, the thread has gotten out of hand and the administrators, Karen and Paul, delete it, or two, the person who created the thread decides, for what ever reason they want, to delete a thread.
I noticed that too. I am sure I had 740 or a little more. The next time I looked, there were 739 posts.
Probably we should ask the Mayor - maybe she is into bigtime house cleaning on January 6th..............
I will ask........
I have noticed that sometimes I can post up to 3 or 4 posts, and my post number will stay the same.:confused: I watched it when I was posting a lot in the Nonsense thread. It wouldn't move up until about the 5th post. Hmmm, I have been wondering about that.:p
Or......it could be the "ghost" of PET TALK.............
DUM DE DUM DUM..............(only the Shadow knows for sure).
We have no control over individual users deciding to delete threads they started. I have not deleted any whole threads today. If I were going to delete a thread of yours, I would tell you.
Only moderators (Paul and I) and whoever started each individual thread have the power to delete a thread.
It really could be someone that got mad at Pet Talk. I don't know. I hope not.
I just don't want it to be something I did wrong. I don't want to hurt anyones feelings. Hope they tell me if I do. I hope I didn't write somthing that would be considered ugly either. That what worrys me about the whole thing.:o
Ann you couldn't say anything ugly, I haven't seen you say anything ugly anyway.
Now I think it happened to me! I wonder if it is the power of suggestion, because I don't look at the count all the time, but I glanced and I too thought it was lower........WEIRD!!!!!!!!!
Every once in awhile, someone gets a hair out of place, and does this. Then, someone posts something about it, and the person says something like, "What? They were 'my' threads. I can delete them if I want to."
Well, they were threads that I took the time to respond to, so they must have been good ones.;)Quote:

Ha, I agree - they must have been really good threads if all of us posted on them - and now we are losing the count.
Oh well, guess I will just have to talk more about Rascal, Annie and Emma and build the count back up.
However, I just noticed that I started this thread and have posted on it several more times - and all of my posts read 3569......in other words my post count has not increased.
I just don't know many threads, that I would post that many on. Could it be several that got deleted?
I would not have noticed if Mahayana hadn't ask me last night how many I have. Atleast I would not have had an idea how many.
Yup! Me, too!
I had like 4550 (or thereabouts) and am now at 4483. :eek: :(
I didn't think I had, but, it seems that I have....I know it must be about 20 posts or so since yesterday...not that it matters, but it is curious.
Nope. Nope lost posts here, atleast I haven't noticed.
I don't know whya it would matter though.
Johanna, if people didn't have the right to delete the threads they create, the option wouldn't be there. :) :) That's right, this means they can delete them if they want to.
I haven't noticed.
I wouldn't care if i did, I just like being here. :)
hmm, that's weird:confused: Its happening to so many people too. I think yesterday I had about 2850, and now I'm down to 2820.:p
This is weird, cause Gini, I see your first post count at 3571 and your 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th post are still at 3571.
The amazing vanishing posts! I've been shedding virtual particles, too. I know I was over 1300 yesterday. I hope we're not being hacked.
The post count for all posts changes each post, and appears the same in all posts. The post count is a count of ALL of the posts total, not the specific post. If you get what i'm saying.Quote:

If you don't, Well lets just say Gini was new. She posts once, so her post count says "1". She posts again, a few minutes later, in both posts it would say "2" or that she has 2 posts total.
I don't want to be rude or anything like that, but uh...why does it really matter? I mean, yeah...people like to know their post count, I guess...but it's just a number. :confused:
I don't really care either, but I just think its weird, since its happening to so many of us too.:pQuote:

True, true. :p
Oh my, who said THAT IT MATTERED???
It does not matter - however, I noticed that the number of my posts had gone down dramatically and I wondered why.......and if there was a problem.
Let's not make this thread a problem............PLEASE!!
I don't think the number maters to any of us. I'm just wondering, if I did somthing wrong. If somone got mad about somthing.:confused:
Okay, whoa gini...settle down. :confused: I never said anything that would even have the slightest intention of "starting something." I was simply asking why it mattered. Jeez, relax. :eek::eek:
I bet it wasn't anyone mad or anything, some people just like to clean up their lives - real and electronic, and may have decided to delete old posts/threads or something.
This is not a trait that runs in my mother's side of the family, but Dad is a "neatener and disposer of junk" and so I recognize the ability. He's an engineer, but after retiring, went to work for my uncle (my mom's brother) essentially throwing things away. It is as useful in business as it is in one's home! ;)
I think I was at about 3,640 or more, so I've lost more than 20 posts. Interesting.
I think I lost at least 15 posts.
There is something strange at Dog House. My user cp shows 478 threads in Doghouse, but there are only two pages (59 threads) listed there. Were threads 60-478 hidden from everyone?
My posts were not deleted, but a lot are only accessible through my profile, view all posts.
What is the deal with Doghouse? Is there a reason for this? It has to be board policy.
mahayana, if you look at the bottom right corner, you can choose to go back to the beginning of the forum and there are more threads. Usually, it only goes back 30 days. If you go to Dog House and choose "from the beginning" it will show 13 pages of threads instead of 3.
hmmmm...if I do a search for all my posts it says I have 6118 and the counter shows i have 6107....interesting....I love a good mystery!! lol
You are right, Mugsy. It is not Doghouse. I'll go with individual or individuals unknown, deleting threads they started but don't like anymore.
As far as your two different numbers, it may just take awhile for the program to subtract the deleted ones from everybody affected.
