> I _think_ so. I have observed that when a thread is corn-fielded, and I had posts to it, my counter resets as if those posts were never made. This observation was of an earlier version of vBulletin, however. I don’t know if the current version does that.

I believe that when a thread is deleted, the posts in it are removed from the count. (They are, however, still accessible to the mods if they were just soft deleted.) However, if the thread is merely moved out of sight, the posts still count.
