POST NUMBERS....

[Poirot]

A couple of years ago, The Spectator got shut down because of overload. Too much on the site or something. Whatever happened, Wayne & I spent a few hours deleting old threads in order to "make room". We deleted hundreds/thousands. And the board was back up and operating fine since then.

However, this resulted in post counts going down, some of you noticed, some paid no mind. Since then, every so often, I go backstage, and delete some old threads. Maybe 20 or 40 or so. I have done it in Just for Laffs, Fun & Games, places not used all that much. Also, old threads in Crystal Ball, Daily Days, Front Page.
And yes, this results in post count going down a bit for some. But.....interestingly, not the thanks. Ha.
Just want you all to know, it is me probably, but we also have new software, which has needed a bit of tinkering here and there. Thank goodness for our webhamster, Wayne.
So, hope this explains any change in the numbers of your post counts.

I lost track of my post count when I hit 1,000. I realized I had a problem and chose to accept it

I have to admit that I haven't paid attention to the numbers since the roll back with the previous upgrade.

I never worry about post counts. I know I don't post as much as I used to, but I'm a bit busier with a 5-year old and work I enjoy.

You know, I stopped paying attention to those numbers when I realized I'd hit the maximum for "Points". It caught my attention then because you'd get like this cute little award with a title. Since I no longer get an award, I'm like "meh"

Poirot, thanks for letting us know.

Thanks for letting us know. I was starting to think I was bad at math.

...interestingly, not the thanks.

The "thanks" do go down. I lost over 500 a few months ago. Not complaining; just sayin'.

Since the numbers change at "clean-up," I don't see the need for them.

I realized I'd hit the maximum for "Points"

One of these days, we should probably look into expanding that sequence. Maybe launch the "race to 20,000" or something..

Actually, the thanks ARE going down, I just noticed last week when I deleted some old threads. Doesn't seem by much, but...well, just trying to avoid any "board down" things.
