Some people lost many posts, like me and snarfgsnor.
I had over 500 and now only 180.
Snarfgsnor had over 6000 and now only 340.
Madness lost about a billion lol
Threads were deleted on accident, so naturally, the posts go too.
dosent explain how sonya got more posts though.
true, I know I had 10k post and I was nowhere close to 11k but I have 11k post now :\
Woah. :P
That's been fixed. Your real total was 1,140.
I just noticed my post counter does nothing.
I can post as much as I want but the number doesn't change.
Wait... now it's doing something
but I must be over 180 now...
Uaaah confused ._.
Now it's standing still again... woot?
ummm just a question. why bother to joke around with the post count at all? lol
I think the mods activated that some boards shouldn't count posts. And then they moved them and therefore your posts aren't counted.
I will check with Perry when I see him.
hmm thanks o/ but still it seems a bit weird to me. but mostly everything does. logic aint the best thing that is going on in my brain :]
Why not just get rid of post count? >:/
Done. ^-^

That was quick lol
The avatar box-thing DD: it so empty
but then what about the rank thingy? get rid of that aswell? :]
I say keep rank, keep count off though
'cause then there's no reason to spam for more posts once you hit five medals.

'yeah but now with post count gone. what should decide which rank requires what.
I happy so I can just have fun ^-^
Though, what exactly is the use of rank anyway? I do support having no post count by the way.

In my opinion none of that matters. If you post good and are good in the community everyone will know you do not need a badge to put on display.

remove it, it bugging me now.
No more post badges. ^-^
Well, it was nice being able to tell who was actually contributing to the community and who was just a "hi ponies bye ponies" member or newbie...
Ah well. It was nice, but we'll see how this new system affects things. Might be better, might not be.
I was wondering what happened to the post counts, thought it was a bug lol

Well, this allows ponies to build up their reputations more meaningfully. I'm okay with not having it anymore.
I like it being gone, causes less "Oh this guy has more posts he must be better"

for long-time members, certainly. New members looking for somepony besides "big scary mods" to get some friendly advice from, a bit more difficult, i'd think.
Ahhhh finally, no more competition. :D

We always have a bunch of friendly and helpful users that frequent the introductions board.

Yeah, when I have free time I go to the introduction board and welcome new ponies.
The post count isn't what ponies on here are known for anyway. They are known for their reputation that THEY build with what they post. Because although Sonya had the most posts, almost none of those posts were in introductions or around where she could get to kow new ponies. Ponies here remember Magus for being friendly all across the boards, and remember Madness for being random all across the boards, not for how many posts they've made.

aww shucks x3. But it's starting to make more sense to me.
Maybe we'll have a "Faithful Student" (or something) badge not based on post counts, but instead on being a helpful member to the community given to the select few. ;)
What do you fellows think?

if you do that, Wandering Magus has to one of the few that gets one
how about no? i think that would only create people with elitist intentions.
all things that can be achived through doing stuff will create som sort of competition no matter what. thats how we work, most of us. so i would say dont give them anything to fight over :)

I agree highly with this.
Achievements are fine, but visible badges are a no-no to me, the reasons are pretty well put above.
I have to agree with Snarfgsnor and Zyggy with that
people will complain either way (if that dont get it, and when other people do get it)
Up to y'all. If you want to debate on it and think more about it make a new topic in here with a poll. ^-^
Leaving it up in the air.
Either way, this forum is just for fun. ;)

haha i would keep discussing/debate on this. thats one of the biggest things i like ^^ and yeah the forums are mostly for fun i have to agree. but putting something in there that is slightly diffrent will cause a small riot of some sort :)

Okay, let's not start spamming images. Anyway, I think handing out awards would make some people jealous, and drive them to start demanding an award or posting a lot of random posts to try and get one.
buzz killer :c
We can have like button, at least?

How many trolls are on here? This ain't Youtube or Facebook.
What if there was a choice in forum options where you could choose to show/hide your post count?

That's not why they got rid of it.
They got rid of the post count because ponies were just posting to post and to raise their post count rather than to have fun, which is what they should be doing on the site. Even when the post count was there, the mods kept telling everypony that they were meaningless but obviously ponies didn't listen and still tried to compete for higher/highest post count. THAT'S why they got rid of it, to show that it truely was meaningless.
On the statistics page you can see the top ten posters, although I don't know if the numbers on those are accurate because there are other ponies who have posted more than those on the list.. I'm not sure how exactly that part works, but that is the only place left on the site that 'counts posts' in any way.. o_O
Well actually they removed it after postcounts got screwed over by the purges.

I'm probably really late in this, but is this why I'm missing some threads I was tracking (particularly my self-introduction one)?

But yeah, basically the same thing.
Old threads were accidentally deleted :c
