Any Old Timers Remember The Great "Post Count Flush Job"

[BarbC]

I really don't remember too much of it. I was more traumatized by the night of the long knives.

Was that before or after the dowel thread?

I have copied most of Charlie's posts since 2007 and put them in a Word document. He can use this to publish his book some day.

I think I remember the post count purge as I have been here for over 12 years

I wasn't concerned with the loss of post count number then or now. Old Timers has kicked in and I don't remember any thing else from past history

I remember it, like starting a new season in Football.

Shouldn't give anyone any ideas

I was gonna try that experiment but WalMart was out of animal holder-downders.

I was young when I started here, now I'm just old.

Put me down for a 1st edition if he does publish. I love reading Charlies posts as he leads a very intresting life and documents it well.

Like it was only yesterday....

Night of the Long Knives...

Many scalps taken....

I watched it from afar...

I can't remember if I was still sitting out yet another 30 day penalty box imprisionment or had been kicked off by then...

Kicked to the curb, and my 8,693 posts with me...

I'm much happier with the way things are now... a fair trade in my view.

Sometimes I have to be careful with the coffee cup when I am reading along.

Can we get it for the new E readers like Kindle and such??

I'm just posting to see my "Join Date".

My join date is appropriate. April fools day 2004.

Yep, I missed those several thousand chits for a bit. But then I realized how much happier I was to not to have all that snarling that went on at the top, I never regretted the improvements.

I'm just about back to where I was.

I thought it was in 07 or 08, but I loose track of time. I believe I lost around 3000 posts but I didn't really keep track of the 3,121.5 posts I lost.

Durn, I do remember so I guess that makes me an "old timer"?

I still just learning, a young pup about S&W's thank you.

Old timer? Snort, snort, hurumph.

Oh dear, cranky too. OMG! Can it be?

What was the night of the long knives? (In this context not historically.)

I remember that it was a sort of big deal to hit 10000 posts before the reset. I think there were two resets. One was a partial under Para that cleaned out a lot of old posts. Later there was the larger reset under Lee.

 

[Rule3]

I think the posts actually still exist, only the post counts have disappeared to protect the guilty.

Hey somebody had to do it! Yes, there are more than this.

You can see that Andy found them all

I remember it. It didn't bother me a whit then and it still doesn't. In fact, I don't know or care what my post number was then or is now. I post when I feel I have something of interest to add and never worried about what the count was, the only time I look is when a post like this brings up the subject.
