Post count went down?

[Phisionary]

Okay, I know this isn't really important. I'm no post whore. I'm just curious.

Well, I was posting yesterday, and I noticed that I'd just posted my 600'th post. After the obligatory celebration (editing to say "HOT DAMN! #600"), I posted again (making it 601), and quit for the day.

In the last half hour, I posted twice. I have noticed that I had (at that point) 601 posts again. Well, if calculus class has taught me anything: 601 plus 2 is not equal to 601

So I'm wondering where these phantom posts have gotten off to? I'm fairly sure I haven't offended anyone, or posted anything offensive or _excessively_ stupid. Nor have I frequented threads that seemed without merit, i.e. the 'This thread is going to be closed so fast' type.

Curiouser and curiouser. Where oh where have my little posts gone?

Maybe the thread was deleted.

If a thread is deleted then your post count drops. The gold forum your post count isn't effected, unless a thread from elsewhere was moved into it or out of it.

Chances are you posted in a spam thread that was later deleted, and I do remember deleting a few myself yesterday so its possible you had a few posts in those.

Ah. Very interesting. Didn't know that about the gold forum. And here I was trying to
make useful and productive posts* there, when it seems designed to eliminate just that

*may or may not be true​

my "#600" post isn't anymore. oh well.

arright, thx.

sigh... what's the use of spam if you don't get a higher post count?

exactly, it is very clever. Good work
