I have lost over 3k posts in the last few days..and not due to the 'm' word. Each time i post i seem to lose a few more.

I know this is happening to others. Has the forum post counter decided to go backwards?

[edit:I lost 2 more with this post.]

I'd have to guess that someone is cleaning out the databases and removing posts prior to a certain date to save space & resources on the servers? If the posts are removed your count decreases. Some software has code written that stops the post counts decreasing, but this one obviously does not.

edit - this would explain why I am not affected. I have only been posting here since the beginning of this year.

My first post is there there:

http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=14501&nowrap=true#169360

So if it is a purge then they aren't doing old posts.

It may just be an actual counting error with the post counter.

I am down to Posts: 6509 now.
