That was also my first post to see where I was at. I don’t really see that I lost any on my post count… maybe my memory isn’t all that good. ---

I lost about a hundred or so. I was like this close to nailing 1K and wham with my post ratio it’s gonna take awhile to get back there. ---

All of them. I had just registered, and had about 30 or so. I racked up about 70 on the pseudo-board, so just add 100 to my pitiful 3 or 4 in the margin. 😉 ---

I must have had more posts than I thought then. I know I did quite a few during between December 7 and the board going down. I was starting to think that the post cound must have been store seperately and was saved. ---

Couple hundred. I was fairly close to 7K (like in the high 6800 range) and now I’m in the low 6500s. ---

I think I lost somewhere around 250-300 posts (I was somewhere in the 1700’s). Not that there was much content in them, but still, it just seems like I’ve lost some history. :shrugs: Oh well. ---

I lost about 100. Dagnabbit. ---

I was a little over 600 by that time… Sigh… Oh well, now I can have another 600 post “party” such as it is… ---

I was lucky and didn’t lose any. Of course that just goes to show how infrequently I post. Maybe I’ll be able to hit 100 by 2003. ---

About 250 of my best posts and my name. My first 16 posts were just screwing about in some of the less serious forums and mostly lurking. The ones I lost are where I started posting everywhere and becoming more active. Oh well, :rubs hands together: back to work. 🙂 ---

Somewhere around 200, probably a bit less. I know I was over 2000 but quite a bit less than 2100. ---

I lost about 400 - 450. It was quite a prolific posting time for me, I guess. About another 100 on the temp board too. Ah well. Soon be back over 2,000 anyway. And **handy** farts that many out whilst on the loo - god only knows how many _he_ lost. All is relative. pan ---

I went from the low 4800s to the low 4100s. Winter tends to be my busy posting season, but that’s still more than I would’ve thought: that’s 66 days worth of posts that were lost, so I was apparently averaging over 10 posts a day. ---

Heh - well, now that I see my post count again, it was probably a bit _more than_ 200, not less than. ---

I lost about a hundred posts…I was such a slacker then. 😛 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-many-posts-did-you-lose/97585.md?page=2)
