If you notice your post count diminishing, it is because we are clearing out some of the older threads that serve no purpose on the forum. This site is huge, and even harder to maintain the bigger it gets. We are clearing out as much of the nonsense such as expired DL threads, Happy Birthday Threads... etc.

My internet penis will lose height and weight :(

Seriously: good idea. Actually, I was thinking of doing a thread to suggest also to erase inactive accounts from this site, like people that haven't posted in 8, 10 months or a year should be erased.

May I ask politely if you all could sticky the Nine Inch Nails Recording Archive under the NIN area of the forum?

Post counts lowering, no sweat off my back.

Under the NIN Subforum? I don't think we'll be deleting anything from that section. Mainly weeding through Gen Chat, Hate Anthems. What thread are you speaking of? I'll go sticky it... post me a link please. Thanks.

That would be where it is located.

The thread is the Nine Inch Nails equivalent to the Marilyn Manson Concert Recordings Archive.

This would be the thread. (http://www.mansonusa.com/forums/showthread.php?t=51005&highlight=recording+archive)

Interesting, so the post count you have is not a seperate holding field in the database, its counts the number of rows associated with your db id for both posts and threads created?

I always assumed that query would be hard on the database instead of just a holding field. The bigger the table, the harder it is on the query with this method.

Is this VB default? or did you change the source. Maybe you dont know six but im oober curious

That is weird because I was contemplating doing that Myself. Just going through old threads that I've made or posts that really have no real purpose still being there. thx

This would be an indicator as to who's making genuinely interesting posts with any substance, and who's post whoring in random threads, judging by the amount people's post count goes down.

Nice idea, though.
Thanks for taking the time to keep the place running smoothly.

I have ALOT of posts. Mostly the ones I want deleted are the drug riddled ones from about 2 -3 years ago. It annoys me to browse through them.

hrmm, i played around with php for a bit and i realized theres ways that you can hold the thread and post count in a db field. and still have it drop by X when you delete threads and posts. I figured there was no way vb source used mysql_num_rows();

stupid me :P. keep up the good work = )

What about all the drug riddled ones from about two weeks ago?

There aren't any from about 2 weeks ago.

Plus, to the people that keep neg repping me with messages like "You are a loser leave the boards" or "You serve no purpose here/stop posting". Get a fucking life and stop getting your rocks off by anonymously taking shots at me. At least put your name at the end. Pussies. I bet you wouldn't say that shit to my face.
