Author Topic: What happened to my post count? (Read 2386 times)

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!

Mithlomwen · « **Reply #4 on:** July 06, 2009, 08:11:49 AM »

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?

Vekseid · « **Reply #6 on:** July 06, 2009, 08:37:42 AM »

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... >.>

* Caeli has shifty eyes.

I can offer cake, ice cream, or bacon to soothe your post count woes?

Trieste · « **Reply #9 on:** July 06, 2009, 08:43:16 AM »

But ... I have a bagel. Mmm, cheese bagel...

Caeli · « **Reply #10 on:** July 06, 2009, 08:43:43 AM »

My glass of water is jealous of your cheese bagel.

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.

Trieste · « **Reply #14 on:** July 06, 2009, 12:20:18 PM »

Story posts are ~~always~~ usually safe.

Paradox · « **Reply #15 on:** July 06, 2009, 12:21:43 PM »

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

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

Trieste · « **Reply #16 on:** July 06, 2009, 12:28:28 PM »

I know postcount is serious business, but DON'T DIE 'DOXIE WE LOVE YOU.

Paradox · « **Reply #17 on:** July 06, 2009, 12:31:23 PM »

Who said anything about dying!?

Trieste · « **Reply #18 on:** July 06, 2009, 12:32:20 PM »

I'm pre-empting.

Everyone knows if you have a higher post-count you are a more awesome person...

Exactly; why else would the goddesses have such high post-counts?

Haibane · « **Reply #21 on:** July 06, 2009, 12:58:07 PM »

Yeah high post counts mean you ~~post more trash~~ are important.

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.

Saffron · « **Reply #24 on:** July 06, 2009, 01:11:12 PM »

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?
