Post count errors?

OFF TOPIC

Lately, I've noticed that my post count got reduced by 30-40 posts and then again by similar number... Not that it really matters that much, but I find it rather odd. Are they deleting some threads and by default reduce post number?

I hope it's the thread deleting version ;-)

Here's another possibility.

I've noticed threads being moved to the Off-Topic forum more often recently. Posts in that section don't add to your post count.

If you were involved with threads that either got deleted or moved, or you had individual posts deleted (happens to all of us occasionally), your post count would go down.

With the numbers you mentioned, it's probably some combination of all three...

Thanks

I don't think that would matter to the super active warriors with 1000+posts, but it would surely bring on a HUGE impact on 40+ post count warriors like myself. Am bracing for the impact now...

Or, we are in a time warp right now, going back in time.

I had over 10k posts just last week.

  Maybe, you were right where you wanted to be in your dreams.
  
  OP, stop looking at or getting worried about your post counts. Move on!

I see. It looks like when WSO threads are deleted, so do the posts inside...
