Disappearing posts?????

I don’t really pay much attention to the number of totals posts that are listed beside my name but I could swear that yesterday I had over 1100 and now I have less than 800. Where did my 300+ posts go. Yesterday I felt like a knowledgeable contributor to FAOL, now I feel like a virtual newby :lol: . Please help me. I have no self image, self esteem or self definition beyond that number :lol: . Seriously, I’m just curious about the decrease. Anyone else suddenly drop in total number of posts?

1100 posts since 03 is a noob. Pick it up son.

I dropped a few Eight thumbs.

ALRIGHT!!! I just gained 300 posts!!!
YES!!! :smiley:

I just noticed I dropped a couple hundred also.

I started here in 1999, I think. I’ve used a lot of different names because I’ve used a lot of different ISP’s. Every time I change ISP’s I have to change email addys, and thus my name. I think my first name was jlsanders225@worldnet.att.net . Things have changed a lot since then. I believe I’m listed at somewhere around 350 posts, but in reality it’s a great deal more. Somewhere between 1000 and 1500 if I had to guess. I’ll probably change again if I’m offered a better ISP price. I don’t much pay attention to the number of posts anymore. I just look for names that are familiar. I was then, am now, and probably always will be: Lotech Joe.
Just happy to be here.

JC dropped a couple thousand himself!!, I think everyone lost a few…I asked to have my email changed once,(and it was)…I just leave it stand at that…and I stopped entering the
monthly contest…never won anything anyway…eva.

Ron,
Have you heard the phrase; STIR THE POT??? :smiley:

Hi Dshock,

I had suspected post rustling all along but I did want to come out and accuse anyone until I had more evidence. Since DShock has admitted to being the recipient of the stolen posts… :lol: :lol: :lol: 8T

:frowning: I just checked out one of my last posts. Missing about 200 of them. Where’s John Wayne when you need him. Gotta git them rustlers.

What a bunch of SOUR GRAPES!!!
Just beecaws youse guys are losin posts an I is gainin posts, alright I is the ONLY one gainin posts, UH OH! It’s been nice knowin you! I’m OUTA HERE!!!
Happy Easter!
Doug :smiley:

I suspect that we have found the criminal master-mind behind the missing posts. It’s definitely time to seat a grand jury and let wheels of justice do their work, or we could lynch Doug. You know that whole Tom Dooley thing----down in some lonesome valley, hanging from a white oak tree. :smiley: :smiley: 8T

On a serious note…

I suppose the total # of posts is interesting…also, IMO, it might be interesting and meaningful to list the # of posts in say the last year…

Ya see how many posts I have LOL …Not to mention I actually joined in March of 2000. The only bad thing I did was I started to swap flies :frowning:

My tying must realllllly suck :smiley:

My past intial posts are certaintlly not important, but what is important
to me are the responces. This is how I learn and pass on the information.
So I copy and print them out then file them in a binder…

What a treasure trove of information.
The best thing is the majority of threads in my FAOL binders are from all
other folks questions.

As of today I have two ring binders flagged by subjects.
The posts date back to 1998 so there are quite a few.
I may have some of your lost ones :lol: :lol:


as I type here I had a thought, my criculum for Happy Hearts on Moms Pond
will be started with my FAOL binders. 8)


At any rate, FAOL Thanks for what you have given us all,
A very special friendly place to learn… :smiley:

Kind regards and Happy Hearts

Take care,

Steve

A post by any other number would be as sweet.

Jonzee,

Not if the post has disappeared; it don’t smell at all! :shock: Anyone know why they disappeared? 8T :?

May be the upgrade required a purging of sort and some of the history has been archived allowing for searches, but drops the link for stats such as number of posts.

I lost some, but the most important thing to me is the info shared on the site.
Now I can claim that I was not ass mouthy as msome folks thought.
