Oh and I lost like 400 more posts... again.
I lost 4500 this time...
That's because you posted a bunch in the bot threads Ohms had and those were deleted.Quote:

And ohms had more than 50. Deleting the bot threads obviously did something to the post count for you and him, since you both posted so much in it. So many posts, plus the copying of threads, probably confused the boards somewhere.
yup, ohms had 16700 before the bot threads...
nope, apparently not.Quote:

Honestly, I find it (having such a high post count) embarrassing.Quote:

Having others post counts messed up bothers me though. This wasn't supposed to affect others at all.
Midnight.....Ohms house.....
Ohms is furiously typing away...."tweak this, move this, this'll teach those post counters they should play BM more and worry about post counts less.....BoomBoom and done!"
2 days later....."well I made my point and we'll move this back now...and.....??!!??? Oh....Oh..no.......NOOOOOO.....Boomboom will kill me!"
3 days later....ohms enters the internet protection program for those who mess with post count threads....to be continued.
4 days later...Ohms reveals that he is BoomBoom as well! :eek:Quote:

Actually, I probably should have used the Prune tool this time. It probably wouldn't have errored out then.
So was there truth to my imagined story?
Hopefully my addition as well!Quote:

What a PITA.
heh, you have a point there...Quote:

A question: would you have deleted it or, for that matter, do you think it would have gone nutso had Boom made 8 copies of it?Quote:

I was just going to say...I wonder how many of our posts are posts talking about post counts? ;p
Hehe.Quote:

Could someone do a post transplant and help save boomboom's post count.
haha
These post counts are the actual correct ones now. The board was updated and posts recounted.
no they are not, I had 16400 something before Ohms played with the boards.
I'm pretty sure that post counts can just randomly get messed up on their own for a variety of reasons, although they're usually fairly accurate. The vbulletin update goes back through ALL the posts and recounts them, meaning they ARE accurate after the update.Quote:

Op, never mind.
