LOL :D

Well, I don't seem to be affected at all, which is why I thought it might be to do with the age of the posts.

My oldest posts from 2004 are still intact...So the missing posts (if they are indeed missing)...appearing to be "cherry picked"...or even just randomly disappearing from the middle somewhere...Those who have been on the forums the longest seem to be most affected by this bug or whatever it is...But it's not the oldest posts that are the one's being removed either accidentally or on purpose.

Currently at 13,250

Down to 6418 since i started this thread.

I have lost 124 posts in just over 2 hours. That is roughly 60 posts per hour. I will be postless in little more than 100 hours (approx 4 days)

Well it is quite funny :D

But what will happen to me when i run out of posts? Will i get a negative post count? Will some sort of anti-post be created that will annihilate the forum? You have to think of the these things.

Maybe each modded post is being subtracted from the number of posts? (Wow then I also will have lost many posts already)


Actually 6580

< there were a few times - when ALL the Threads & Comments Disappeared

and were NEVER seen again - Due to a 'glitch' in the Berkeley Database . . .

I am wasting away to insignificance

I was almost a 1000 posts and now down to 735 when I last looked. I've been watching them decrease but don't know what is missing. My first posts are still there...

I guess posting here has elevated my position. I have lost 7 posts since my previous post.

Dear Friends,

Shall we allow one or two people to spoil our mood? I used to have a Macaw that shreiked and tried to cause trouble in order to get attention. Eventually it got its attention, but not in the way it expected. We got rid of the bird! LOL

Will you let anyone spoil your enjoyment of the forums? That is what he/she probably hopes for, the attention. Let's not forget: May 1st is not far off.


I say "Ignore them"...and enjoy the forums!

Dear friends!!!

I'm leaving the thread at this point. I don't want to discuss moderation. That's one of the rules here and I'll respect it. But I also decline to be provoked.

Let me share with you something I just PMd to a good friend...


"Bad things have happened on the forums, and are now happening. But I'm going with my better self. I'm not going to fuss or fight...I'm saving what I can, and turning the other cheek.

What does this accomplish? It completely eliminates aggravation. Life includes loss, and I'm moving forward."


Consider that point of view, the provocation notwithstanding?


All the best to you, whatever your considered decision.


See you around the forums! :]]


Afectionately,


Beets

ok Beets. But this thread has nothing to do with the 'M' word, so try not to get paranoid. I am pretty sure that the m********s have nothing to do with what is going on.
