I’ve lost about 250. I guess I picked a bad time to get active in the board . . . ---

The board isn’t even up for a day and already people are whining about their post counts. :wally ---

Post count check and hijack. Has any else used Snitz forums for their private forums? It’s really great, if a little buggier than UBB and vB. ---

Well being a shy/occasional poster I was really gratified to be at 170 before the crash, I was approaching 200! Now I am back to 130 _sob!_ 40 posts to make up, starting with this one. Oh and I am back to my original username having changed it after Dec 7, I changed it to Silver Raven but I don’t know I may not bother to change it back again, this name is a lot more distinctive and with me being a semilurking rare poster I need all the distinctiveness I can get! Oh I like the new thingy where you can just stick the smilies on! I could never remember how to do half of them (and too lazy to click on the page that told you ha!)🆒 ---

Quit the whining. I cracked 1000 around early December and made it to 1100. Now I’m a three digit posting schmuck again. ---

Man, like the others who had registered after December 7th. I lost everything… Ah, well. I guess it wasn’t that important. Argh! I waited to register on February 2, 2002! If I hadn’t lurked for more that a year. Hmm… Hey, we can start new topics that had been started after December 7th, and nobody can type a link and said it’s been done. 🙂 ---

Goodness. You don’t need to post in order to view your post count. Just search for a previous post of yours and click the Profile button under your post. Your post count is listed there, as well as your posts per day average. ---

Just testing… I finally publish my quarter-page proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem, incontrovertible evidence that **Fenris** and **Scylla** are the same person and jpegs of Cecil Adams and the board crashes. I’ll never do _that_ again! ---

“I wonder how many posts handy lost.” Oh, someone wrote a message on the old board about how handy hit 12000 posts. Well, you can see quite a bit of a dip there for me 🙂 ---
