When a topic is deleted due to age...

Is it still taking your posts with it? Every so often my post count mysteriously drops, even when there are no admins or mods online...
To make sure I'm not just crazy I checked the memberlist and its happening to others...

No, I believe that it's not. Your postcount will not go down because of that.

If a thread is deleted by Mods (rare, as it's usually just locked), your post count will go down.
However, if it's just pruned, as is what normally happens, your post count will stay as normal

You've posted in Word Games and Contests, thats probably why.

It shouldn't be happening, but it could be a bug in the new forum. I'm sure now that you've brought it to our attention will be on the look out for it . I saw other comments about post count problems so you might be right, something could be going wrong.

We're not still on about post counts, are we?!

Your post count does not suddenly drop. Some posts of yours were deleted by a moderator somewhere if your post count decreases (I know I split and removed 15+ posts from the ranks topic just about 5 hours ago).
If you don't see a moderator in the who is online list, it doesn't mean that none are online. Hidden users, remember?

There were also some recent small timewarps. They happen every so often, as I hear, so those take your posts and your post count with it.

Well, I just checked the WG&C board and it's not the old glitch. (There was a glitch where although posting there didn't raise your post count, deleting whole topics could have the potential to make them drop. That wasn't actually proved; was more a suspicion.)
Whereby it is most likely that if posts are disappearing, then those posts were probably deleted by a moderator at some point (perhaps before you went online) because the moderator feels them to be spammish.

Time warps should have ended a loong time ago
Already stated but if your post count decreases, it is because a thread has been deleted.

The time warps appeared because of the forum switching databases (from a Critical Error on every other page to very few at all) and are long gone (as SL said )

Meh, it doesn't really matter that much anyway. Thanks.
