If anyone was paying attention, it appears that the post count was refreshed recently, so if you have a habit of occasionally posting nonsense (like I do), you'll notice your number dropped. I went down around 10, so I guess I'm not too non-sensical.
I lost close 15 or so today. I guess that means posts like this one I shouldn't really post at all. I don't mind when my posts get deleted, but it stinks when some reviews get deleted.
In this particular case though, I know why, so it's okay.
Please. When a script is deleted from the site by the request of the author, the discussion thread, in its entirety, is also deleted. Also, once a week, I do a full back up of the discussion board. In order to save space, I remove members who haven't posted anything in the last year as well as do a recount of posts.
For the record, my post count went down 40 over the past three weeks. That is the number, more or less, of removed scripts from the site.
So, if your numbers drop dramatically that means that either you've posted a lot of posts like, "cool! I'll read it" or "I will review this" OR you have posted a lot of reviews to scripts that have recently been deleted from the site at the request of the author. So, for most of the folks in this thread, your post count droped because your reviews were deleted at the request of the author of the script you reviewed.
My posts went down, I believe, because of an argument which I was drawn into with another member of the boards. The entire thread has disappeared. It must have been because of the confrontation, because beside that, the thread itself contained a lot of useful opinions and debate about a complex topic. I tried to set things straight for the benefit of other members, but if Don decided to delete the thread, that's fine with me and I understand. This is a very peaceful site and arguments will only taint its good name, but the comments that I made on that thread had to be said. I can't make that clear enough. But anyway, I'm sure it's forgot about now.
