Katana Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 I was looking at my public profile and noticed...I'm missing around 70 posts! It said I only had 435, but I remember becoming a Member (500 posts) just before v.7 came. I noticed that the Yu Yu Hakusho forum is gone, but I'm almost posotive I didn't pour sixty-some posts into that fourm. I'm wondering this because (A) Will I have to re-earn those 65 I lost, and (B) Where did they go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semjaza Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 A lot of the more spammy threads were completely deleted from OB before v7 opened up. Post counts have no bearing on v7 whatsoever, so I wouldn't even worry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 [color=#707875]Tony's right; various old threads were moved and removed over the development cycle for V7. In any case, I wouldn't worry about "re-earning" these posts. What you need to earn is [b]quality[/b] content, rather than quantity of posts. Post counts are no longer displayed on posts and they have very little bearing (virtually no bearing at all) on your user status. Posts only determine when you become a Member, from being a New Member. There's nothing more to be gained beyond that. This is why we've given members a second title, to modify as they see fit. The idea is to take the focus away from post count and focus on post quality instead. So I wouldn't worry about any lost posts; [i]most[/i] members (including myself and other staff) lost some number of posts as a result of this upgrade process.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 70 posts is NOTHING, matey! ;) My post-count dropped from 1500 to 700 (and I know some people who lost even more), but I'm not bitter about it... okay, just a little. But with this new title system it doesn't even matter! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 [color=gray]Well I lost 700 and even though the title system is there, I liked having a lot of posts just for the thing that you have a lot of posts lol.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Asphyxia Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 [font=Verdana][size=1][color=black]The thing is, unless there's someone who would go to everyone's user profile, no one is going to see the post count anyway. It has no real relevance at all anymore, except perhaps when you go from "New Member" to "Member". And my take on those different titles is so that we know who are new, and we can guide them. [/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=1][color=black]Basically, there's no need to worry about your post count anymore -- there's nothing that comes with it. No new titles, no little extra bits. It [i]is[/i] an extra bit, itself, now. [/color][/size][/font] [font=Verdana][size=1][color=black]The emphasis in these versions is shifting its perspective a little bit so that it now focuses almost solely on quality, rather than quantity, heh. [/color][/size][/font] [color=black][font=Verdana][size=1]So don't worry about it. Just sit back, relax, and let the good times role. ^.~[/size][/font][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G/S/B Master Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 I think all psot from v.3=v.4/5 are deleted. Since I don't see my very OLD posts anymore in my post searches. I think most accounts that are unactive or banned are also deleted. [quote]Well I lost 700 and even though the title system is there, I liked having a lot of posts just for the thing that you have a lot of posts lol.[/quote] "I lost 700 pounds from subways!" I was thinking about that when I saw your messege X_X. Anyways, it's like for me, the more post you have, the mroe powerful you become. I was thinking about an RPG hack at that time so yea.

Transtic Nerve Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 "Post counts are a different story, however. As the upgrade process goes forward, we'll be going through every single forum and making adjustments -- some forums will be removed (I've already mentioned them in a previous announcement) and various threads will be reorganized. As a result, people's post counts will be affected." Says right there what happened to your posts, right in the announcements... Anyway, the posts you probably lost were in crappy topics or like RPGs or something that shouldn't matter anyway cause it's all crap. Anyway, I probably lost more posts than you, although I have no idea since I didn't care to begin with. I could never understand why people cares so much about post counts.

Hevn Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 [COLOR=RoyalBlue][SIZE=1][B]I didn't want to create a thread so I posted here. Just have one concern. I went to see my profile today after a long while and looked at my post count, it says 80 something. Then I go to read all posts I created and it says there are a about 190 something posts. I know post counts don't matter but could that be a bug in the system? I joined somewhere in May or June I think so version problems should not apply right? And I've never posted in the Battle Arena... Anyway, was just concerned...or...something ^_^x[/B][/SIZE][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jblessing Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 I'm not sure why your post count is off, nor do I really care to investigate why as well. Chances are, one of the forums you've posted in does not up your post count. vBulletin has a script that allows me to fix, or update, all post counts. I'll run this when I get a chance. Seeing as with v7, posts counts don't matter, give it a week or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
