Oi Bamfette! Hello. I have seen a lot of people (non-administrators) with high post counts and I was wondering if it is possible for you to edit the amount of posts someone has made, because I was quite proud of having posted around 200 or so before the hack and was hoping you could restore that. Thanks! :oops

Just make 162 more posts and you'll be at 200. :p It's as simple as that.. Post counts don't mean anything.

I will reach a positive post count someday!

Quite a few people have had to start from nothing..its not just you. So just keep posting, and you'll be there! ;)

Sorry Bamfette, calm down. I was just asking a f*cking question. In that case could you edit mine down? Thanks. And thanks for all the humiliation, too. I really needed it.

sorry, but i have heard a LOT of whining about post counts in private, you just were the first to say anything in public.

understand my position here. i raise your post count back to what you claim it was before. then EVERYONE who lost posts wants thier posts restored. we lost over FIVE HUNDRED members. and had over FOUR HUNDRED others who were signed up before, who also lost a large number of posts. if i raise yours, i have to raise anyone else who asks, that could be as many as A THOUSAND people that i have to modify thier post counts. if only half those wanted their post counts restored, it is still 500. no thank you.

I agree with you Jill. Posts mean nothing. This is not a contest to see who can get the most posts. No prizes are handed out people. Let Jill do her work to get this site up and going to what it was before the hack. Keep up the good work!:)

Yeah, i'm sorry. I know it must get tiring, having everyone ask the same thing. i was just curious. i dont really care THAT much. and it had nothing to do with OTHER people seeing it. it was more of a personal acheivment thing.

Yeah... when I rejoined, I was just beyond member #400. Now last time I looked at the bottom member count before the hack, we had over 1,400 members. That is a lot to lose. We lost in-depth discussions about comics (has something to do with the board), dicussions with Paty and Dave about advice and the comic industry as a whole (has something to do with the board), and game threads (postwhoring).

I had over 250 posts pre-hack, but at last half of them were me being bored in the game threads. I'm quite happy with my current 60-something posts. Why you ask? Because all of my current posts are posts that give positively to the board. About 1/3 of them are reposts of old, actually IMPORTANT threads. They're something to be proud of, I didn't just post for the sake of posting or post to raise my count.

It's not the size that matters, it's how you use it. I hate to use the sex-line, but in this case it is F**KING TRUE.

Please, leave the Admins and Mods be. They are still working very hard to re-add what boardfunction edits were lost in the hack and smoothing out code errors and such. And they're only doing that when they don't have work/school.. very busy I hear.
I've left the board. Friends know where to find me :)

It's really nice to Rule Number 1 being kept by everyone, isn't it?

I agree that maybe some of us were harsh to Gaz. But look at Jill's(Bamfette) point. There really is no need to worry about posts. If all you want to do is post to see if you can rack up as many as you can in one day, I think you're doing a disservice to those that are trying to bring back up this site to its former status and to those that are here to have a good time. I'm sure some of you don't now the extent on keeping this site going. Its hard work.And after a hack I can only imagine. IMO, I think all posts should be discontinued or as Bamf Bunny has said in another thread: put it in the members profile.

Gaz we love you. Don't be offended. We understand that you were just asking a question and I think Jill knows that as well. Maybe you caught her at a bad time(we all have them). She's still trying to work things out , hun.:kiss

Im with jill on this 1 posts r completely irrelivent to your login status.
Today i didn't fell like crying because i realised that life is just to short.

People got killed. Bad things happened. But at the end of the day, life was only another ride, like it or not, I'd been given a ticket, so what else could I do but hang on and enjoy it and save the tears for when it was time to get off.

I know it's irrelivant. I don't think people with higher posts were better. I just liked to see my own post and i'm sorry i asked. I sound so shallow now. I really didnt' care that much. Hey, could someone give me negative then? I like the idea of that. Sorry, people.

*hugs Gaz* Don't worry about it. I'll even do that negative thing too. It looks cool.

Bamfette said a naughty naughty word! I'm fine with my post count. I think I like 4 stars! Can I get a negative # and still keep my stars? I like the #-666 :LOL... 666... those are devil numbers!
