It was a highly creative time for me. I think it came out to about 300 posts. Now I go to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder group therapy, and we try to pick up the pieces of our shattered dreams.
How about we find out.
About 30. But nearly a third of my total 
I was at about 2200 or something. I’m really only posting in this thread for the colour.
About 750. Combined with 150 or so posts previously munched by board maintenance, that’s approximately 900 posts worth of electrons released for further duty to the universe.
I think maybe 400, but the post where I mentioned my post count is one of the missing ones 
I’m thinking I was around 1400 when the boards went down. But I’m so confused because I rarely look at my post count (which is how I missed all my “big” posts, like 500, 1000, etc)
Hi! Well, at least you’ll get to do another 42nd post party.
Unfortunately, all my posts that were lost were incredibly witty and well written and really made the board a much better place. If only they had been preserved for all time you’d be able to read them and see, but such is life, you’ll just have to take my word for it.
Oh yeah, I remember that one! I saved it, sweetie.
<ducking and running>
Hmmm…Probably a goodly amount, but I’ll find out soon enough…
Wow. All of 20 or so posts.
I am such a freakin’ loser.
I think that I lost over one hundred. I was close to 1000 before the boards went down, because I remember debating about what number 1000 should be.
Well let’s see…
Around 40, because I was nearing 200 before the boards went down. Although it’s not really the number of posts that annoys me - more the content. Now I gotta repost a whole bunch of stuff! 
Goddamn crackers… screwing up the Straight Dope should be a 10 year minumum sentence, at least.
- Unfortunately, I only ended my lurking in mid-January, so now I’m back down to this many posts.
