The guy’s been here for nearly two years and had an impressive post count (in the thousands). Today, I notice that he seems to have started over. (His count is only 11 at the moment.)

Did he ask for this? Or is it some kind of glitch? And how come you can still search for all of his posts if his official count is now so low? (He’s posted more than 11 times in a given thread more than once.)

LMAO!

The truth of the matter is that I was worried that MY post count would disappear for no reason.
