Testing to see what my post count it… expecting it to be about 7 at this point. ---

I lost most all of mine, not that I had many to start with. ---

About 1,000. _sigh_ I’ll never beat **handy**. ---

Well…I was around 1.3k, so I lost about 500 posts. Oh well. They’ll come back. ---

I had right around 1,200 so I think I lost around 350 or so. It’s funny because I never thought I’d reach one thousand posts but I did and lost it, now I bet I’ll never reach it again. ---

I lost my log in name (note the lack of spaces) and all my posts. I hadn’t registered until late December, 2001. ☹ ---

I didn’t lose many (maybe 50-75 or so)…of course I don’t post all that often either. ---

Aargh…I was at about 220 when we got booted…and I had about 70 on the other board, too. I will take this as a blessing…nobody will remember some of those inane posts… _grin_😛 ---

I don’t know, because I don’t remember how many posts I had. The REAL question is, “How many posts did **handy** lose?” ---

Let’s put it this way… If that hacker had waited one more day, I would’ve broken 100. I had my speech ready and everything…I still have it saved in a text file. I think I’m gonna cry… ---

I lost at least 650… no more than 700. But the good news is I can redo my 666th, I remember the _first_ time I hit 666 I had wasted the post on a discussion about my cat… ---
