My post count...it doesn't matter but I was just wondering?

On the old site I had like 1,200 something posts. Now I have like 670? Why did it go down? I dont really care I was just curious,...? Does everyones go down?

Yup.. they were saying something like they lost posts before a certain date.. so if you posted before then, it's now gone.

yep thats what i read also....mine went from like 550 to 15...

unfortunately all threads that were started between approximately 12-31-04 and 3-6-05 were lost. i hate it that so much was lost, but it is just another of the many reasons why this switch was needed.

awwww man I was up around like 500 or something and now im in the teens? That sucks! I was enjoying being such an active member and having something to show for it...

Don't worry about it guys.. we all know you are here a lot! Besides, give it a month, and you'll all be so happy we're here now.

We're going to have chat! Yay!

lol ya i was about to break a thousand now im at 160!!!! damn it lol. Ahh whatever just glad that we are at a safer place now.

Wow,that really sucks.But yeah,at least we are at a safer place.

What really stinks is all the great posts and info we lost, but its gone and all we can do is press forward.

Its not the numbers that bugs me but the info and stuff.....everything that i loved to read and look through is gone just like taht

Anybody know when the final version of the site will be done?

Well, with the loss of the threads table, there's really nothing I can do about the missing posts, but the FAQs and caresheets and whatnot will be restored ASAP.

Ugh, I was hoping we wouldn't lose pervious posts.
I'll have to ask some of the guys to re-post plans for the different racks now.

Whoa.. what happened. Now I have 9 posts.

I'm a junior member! *cry*

its ok. im a senior member. i feel old......

Oh well, good for you. *kick*

Grr.

This means we're losing more of our info.

its funny how the numbers dont really matter but we talk about them so much

They don't matter... but they do!

But I think mostly people are upset about all the info we have lost. We had a great archive, that is now lost.

i mean that was years and years of information that everyone of us misses

yeah what happened i was on yesterday with about 180 posts and today i have 12. what is going on?

Um NO. That was 2 months of threads. Only threads started between 12/30/04 and 3/7/05 were lost, and I am still working on the possibility of restoring them somehow. All posts from before that and from threads begun before that were retained. That's hardly "years and years of information."

ok jeez im sorry get mad at me will ya?

No one is getting mad at anyone in particular. Marla and Smulkin have been working very hard on getting things switched over to the new server. We ask that everyone please be patient and know that we are doing this so that you all have a stable website that is bigger and better than ever.

Yup. I hope you guys can get it back to the caliber that it was before it died. Thanks go out to all that are invloved!

Sorry, I know this thread is almost a week old, but I just noticed my count is down to like 160, I was up to around 500. Now, I joined the site when it was fairly young back in 2003. I don't think I made over 300 posts over the span of two months, so does that mean more information was lost?

Just curious, sorry if there's an obvious explanation, I'm kinda slow :)

actually, marla was able to recover all of the lost posts. (yahoo!) some wacko stuff happened when the recovered info was imported and post counts got messed up somewhere in there, but all of the good stuff is intact.

Ok, awesome!

Sucks for those who lost lots of posts, but definitely better than an unsafe site.

what happened to our post count by each of our post's? Did that get killed because we were worrying about it so much?
