Check the other thread. Ryan said that they got rid of the posts from the old board for some reason. Something to do with the upcoming upgrade...

Here's a small factoid....

We have more members who have never posted on this board, then members who have posted..... and it's not even close....

Posted- 1522

Actually a difference of less than 200 out of over 3200 posters does seem pretty close to me.

Sorry it was the mathematician in me speaking. :)

It is to me. It is like a total restructure of what is FOFC. The post leader, instead of being an advanced AI able to post thousands upon thousands of intelligent, informative, and thought provoking post, is now a wise-cracking, hardly ever serious nut (no offense Jeeber). That is a major change. It is somewhat scary.

Guys, we live in a world that has posts, and those posts have to be counted and recorded. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinburg? I have more responsibility here than you could possibly fathom. You weep that they don't matter, and you curse the Elitists. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Shorty's post count, while extremly high, probably saved lives. And that my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. I know deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want post counts, you need post counts. We use words like dola, analbumcover, iws. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent, uh wasting work time. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the post ocunts I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it. I prefer you said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you go to the hat trick forum, and stand to post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!

Much like in a role playing game, I see "post number" as "experience points".
The more you have posted, the more you have contributed one way or another.
It shows your experience on the board, how long you've been there, how much you've made yourself heard...and sometimes, understood.

Anyway, I'd like to see my post count return to what it was.

Nice, I dropped to #61 (due to this post, 1 post ahead of Dutch.)

It does make my accomplishment of reaching and defending #19 with 150-post gaps both up and down a story to tell the grand children 50 years from now.

"I remember when I was 22 years old and visited this center of the internet universe. There were people talking about today's leading sport Hattrick as if it was just a game and there was this sport called baseball that I hated so much that got killed due to the Americans arrogance leading to missing the Olympic Games and destroying the sport completely outside New York and New York Island, then called Cuba. Back in those days, football players lasted longer then 3 seasons and quarterbacks were not 7'0" 350 lbs big. Back in those days QBs threw the ball to team mates, in stead of warping them 500yds away. Back in the days, there was this game called FOF about roster micromanagement that helped people forget about those days Bushes, who cared less about soccer then some black fluid named oil. Yes, back in the days, Maassluis was still a isolated city, and not part of New Arabia, but located in a country the called Nederland, but worldwide known as Holland, despite that only the most impoartant part of the country was called Holland. Yes, things were much worse back then, though we didn't now we were not alone in this universe."

Oops, sorry, I got a bit carried away.
I better get started regaining my 19th place, I've got about 1900 posts to catch up with...

These are the times that try men's soles. The wurst of times and not the New York Times. Four score and seven posts ago, I met a girl named Black Betty. That girl had a child. The damn Thing gone wild. As wild as the fervor over the lost posts that sank into the Hell Atlantic? We will never know, will we?

Or, maybe this was all an illusion. Maybe, just maybe, the entire time you thought you were posting, you were actually suspended in some sort of ooze, supplying power to a race of super-robots with giant testicles.

No one can say for sure, but I can say "anemone" pretty damned well. And, the next time you are walking down the lonely street to Hart Brake Ho' tell, just remember that the bacon you smell frying could just as well be a ball peen hammer, ready to come down and crush you like a bag of wet mice.

Most important of all, I want you to remember that,
