I lost about 350, which was almost all of them, as you can see. Oh well. ---

I’m just about to find out. Seems to me I had around 1600-1800 posts before. I can’t really be more certain. ---

Mine’s easy to figure. I had just broken the 1,000 mark the week before everything went down and when I came back I was at 850. So I lost about 160 or 170, maybe a handful more. But the way I look at it is, I get to lose my 1,000 posts cherry twice. ---

Last I had checked I had 54 posts I think. When we came back I had like 43. I lost more than 20% of my entire post count! So, if you will excuse me, I have to get back to posting if I am ever going to get back to the prized over 50 posts mark again.🙂 ---

i lost about three hundred fifty in the drop, from about 1283. however, this means that i get to do my thousand post party all over again, with even more love-slaves than the first time. and, due to the new “search older” function, i found my earliest post quite easily… and it happened to be exactly one year ago, march eleventh! of course, it was an innocuous little nothing-reply about the flavour of human flesh, telling others of my experiences when i bit off a good hunk of my thumb when i fell off a ladder. tasted like rare, bloody pork, as i remember. ---

A really, really, lot of them. I was at 1100 or so. I can’t believe I had posted 750 times in three months. That doesn’t sound right. I could have sworn I would have been closer to 600-700. Oh well, it’s not like it makes any difference anyway. All those words are gone, like tears in rain. ---

I lost about 500 or so posts. Now I’m going to have to work hard to get 1000 again. ---

I found my 300th post, which I had commented on. It was Dec 4th. That’s 775 posts in what was actually two months (Dec 7-Feb 11) That’s insane. I can guarantee I won’t be duplicating that little feat. Of course I had a weeks vacation in there, and I went nuts one day and stayed up 30-something hours. I didn’t spend the entire time on the boards, but I think I posted over 100 posts that day. ---

I was approaching the 150 mark and now…I can’t believe it. I only have a measly 6!! ☹ so sad…so sad. Well, at least I can re-experience being a completely brand new newbie again - that’ll be fun! ---

Never mind losing posts… I lost my friggin’ identity!! I’d had my user id changed to Little Miss Attitude sometime after Dec. 7. I’ve emailed Tuba though, so I’m sure it will all be back to normal soon. ---

Add me to the “I don’t know” pool… I _think_ I was over 2400, but under 2500… But I’m not sure. And I’ve been having too much fun splashing in the pool to pay attention: What am I at now? 😕 ---
