What happened to my post count?

Something very screwy just happened.  My browser started acting strange, so I exited Elliquiy and logged back in.  When I did so, my post count dropped from about 104 to 86.

Not a tremendous deal, mind you.  But strange.

Anyone know what caused this, or how to rectify the situation?

My own count went down a bit as well. I think those posts were likely from the Doormat thread, which was finished as a new one was started, and moved to games/socializing, where posts don't count. If that is it, it's not a glitch in the system. It's much more likely than an individual browser problem hacking into E and deleting your posts, I think.

My post count went down as well. I know it doesn't count when you post on the Games and such but I haven't. *Shrugs* Just FYI, like Banderas said...No real biggie! =)

Yes it is too a biggie, by god! This is the third friggin time I've come close to 3,000 posts, only to have them yanked away by some strange machination of fate. This time, I was only 3 posts away!  >:(

Yeah mine too!  I was about 30 posts away from 4,000 *cries*

This probably happened because I moved the old Doormat thread into Forum Games / Socializing. Any posts that you made in the first Doormat would no longer count towards your post count.

If it matters so much to you guys, though, I can always move it back? :P

Yes, it was because Caeli moved the thread. Didn't realize it accounted for that now O_o

Try being about 20 posts away from being one of the top 10 posters on E... >.>

By all means, leave it where it is!  I'm fine with the meagre drop in my post count. 

I like being an "Orgiest", anyway.

Para, for once, I actually feel your pain!!!! *Uh oh...I don't know if that's so good or not!* I've decided I am NOT going to look at the post count anymore, cause it just keeps disappearing! *Hands Para ALL her 1937 post count cause she doesn't need them anymore! AND that would put him OVER 3000!!!*

Yeah. I stopped participating in Round Numbers and all the other fun post count-related activities a while ago. It's no fun when you keep getting screwed like this.

Story posts are always usually safe.

Paradox

Yeah, but I only pump out one, maybe two story posts a week at the most  :P

It's all good; I just wanted to know what happened. Thank y'all for the explanation.

I'm with Desan, I know post counts aren't THAT big of a deal, but I was kind of proud of the fact that I was nearing 4 grand.

I think I lost like a hundred posts here. Not too big of a deal but still kind of sucks.

Maybe the Intro-Archive would be a good place for it? So those who are unapproved or whatever can see the previous happenings?

I think that was the point of putting it in the socializing, although it's likely to get buried anywhere.

The newbies (unapproved) can see the socializing? Am I thinking of the wrong socializing area? *Wanders off to look*

Yes. I'm quite certain that my games and administrative activities are entirely garbage. Also, things don't count at ALL when you put them behind a strikethrough quite an important gal!

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.

If it's going to be buried, can we at least spare the people from losing something? Intro archives seems the right place to be, seeing how it was created in that board and saves us from QQ'ing about our loss of numbers.
