Maybe we need a pad thread for old times sake just to get the posts back....

Nah... maybe not.

Just a reminder. A long time ago in a forum far far away, we decided that post counts weren't really the measure of much, so trimming posts and such for database stability is something we've done and will do

you know as well as I do, that I dont make a big deal about this stuff
i never made any mention of the fact that I had joined jack as a hero, or that I was close to catching him
of course, I notice it... cant blame a guy for that.. but Ive never cared enough to make a big deal of it

and the only reason I brought it up this time.. was because it was such a large decrease.. i figured that meant that something major had happened with old threads.. also, in the past, when trimming was done, counts werent changed.. so I didnt know if it was intentional, or something that needed to be brought to notice

</small>That was my recollection also. Probably a multipart process and one or more parts was omitted this time....

<small>.... as I didn't have any idea as to my postcount before, I've no idea how many I "lost" </small>

I think the thread loss was as unintentional as the downtime that accompanied it. Geoff was just telling us to stop whining about post counts.

At least I'm only kicked out of the Hall of Fame for 8 days... better than poor Pete.

And no, that WASN'T intended to goad someone into messing with me... I'm not that enamored with post counts.
