Does one's # of posts reset after a certain amount of time?

I've been a member here since 2004, and I haven't posted a whole lot, but definitely a lot more than 26 times. I've had long periods of inactivity though...does a person's post count reset to zero or something if they are not active for a while? Just curious.

There was some sort of server/database problem a few years ago that resulted everyone's post count being lessened. Your smaller tally is likely related to that.

Gotcha. Thanks for satisfying my curiosity!

Don't know if you posted there, but posts in the Politics/Religion forum don't count anymore.

Also, if you look at your profile, you will see that your "active posts" total exceeds the total shown with your post.

why is that?

The Shadow knows.

Because we had a database mess-up (caused inadvertently by your's truly) and lost some content.

I just recounted everyone's posts. I couldn't find a way to just do an individual's. Some of you may have less posts because posts that have been deleted were not counted.

Not that it matters to me, but why are Political Forum posts excluded from the count? Judging by my own relatively high total, this must be a recent decision—is it?

[BeBop]

Holy smokes. My post count just made a pretty substantial bump-up. I've wasted more of everyone's time/storage space than I thought.

There I go again...

Ah, so that's why my post count suddenly seemed to go down by about 1,000. I just noticed. No big deal, really...

This is just a frivolous post to see where my count is.

[Peter Johnson]

So is this!

It's a relief to see that frivolity still counts around here.

This reminds me of the time my neighborhood tavern asked me to leave --

-- they wanted to start Happy Hour.
