What’s going on here?

This morning, my post count was above 770. On my last post, it showed as 769. What gives? Did some old threads get removed or something?

I’m posting this in MPSIMS for feedback from anyone else who has noticed this.

That’s happened to me three or four times, **Kim**. There were some old threads in ATMB about it–as I recall, nobody knew for sure what was going on, other than it seemed to be connected to board maintenence. Or deleting old threads might do it.
