Okay so yesterday I checked my post count…

Today I checked it…

It's doubled…

So I went to the stats….

If you look at everyones post count, it seems to have doubled overnight….

OFMs went from approx 70K to approx 133K…

So either the posting fairies have been hard at work, or soemthings jacked…

John the OFM16 Oct 2013 6:59 a.m. PST

Damn!
I missed my 75K party I was planning for this week!
I guess I missed the even more significant 100K one also. frown

On the other hand, my Stifle Count remains the same. grin

But the ratio posts to ******s has also changed. Good show…nothing matters but the last post! Whether one has 1 previous post or 100,000 what difference does it make ?

Personal logo Doctor X Supporting Member of TMP16 Oct 2013 7:37 a.m. PST

Apparently to some it is important…
I don't know why.
Maybe someone can enlighten me to that.

Charles Marlow16 Oct 2013 8:22 a.m. PST

Lol, mine post counts doubled too!

Either (a) it will fix itself tonight, or (b) there really is a problem. evil grin

Charles Marlow16 Oct 2013 8:25 a.m. PST

Oh, lol, still sleepy & drinking coffee, anyway, just noticed my The Stifle Count has doubled, sweet!

Personal logo Murphy Sponsoring Member of TMP16 Oct 2013 8:26 a.m. PST

Doctor X….

Why if the post count is off…then my calculations are off!

If my calculations are off…tonight at 8 pm you will be lathered in cinnamon honey butter and rolling about on a cheap plastic waterbed while watching old Wayne Newton videos….

You don't want THAT do you?……do you???….

wink

Pointless and silly milestones?
Have you never watched your car's odometer pass 100,000 and cheered?

Personal logo Doctor X Supporting Member of TMP16 Oct 2013 8:52 a.m. PST

@Murphy – Little did I know the ramifications of a post count being off. We should get our best and brightest on this immediately.

@OFM – I didn't realize a silly and pointless number could bring such glee to the masses. Let me share in the pointlessness with the following:

0, 3.14, 40DD

Charles Marlow16 Oct 2013 9:54 a.m. PST

I'd actually like to keep my new and inflated The Stifle Count…

Charles Marlow16 Oct 2013 2:47 p.m. PST

Darn it, sadly, I'm back to the meager 54 of The Stifle Count Stifles which I earned…

Sundance16 Oct 2013 3:11 p.m. PST

Yup, mine approximately doubled overnight, too.

Joes Shop Supporting Member of TMP16 Oct 2013 4:11 p.m. PST

Mine went up too-?

captainquirk16 Oct 2013 9:21 p.m. PST

It's obvious really – you guys just talk in your sleep.

John the OFM17 Oct 2013 5:19 p.m. PST

I am STILL at 133K, and I was planning on a 75K celebration some time this week. frown
Oh well… grin

It would have been my usual quote from Ozymandias.
"My name is John the OFM!
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!"

But, alas! It shall not be…

Joes Shop Supporting Member of TMP18 Oct 2013 4:41 a.m. PST

Ok, checked this morning and my post count is reduced but much lower than it was before it was increased-?

I know I was close to 4,000 posts (don't know the exact number) and now my count is at 1,313-? My Stifile ratio was at 200. + and now it is at 65.

Personal logo Editor in Chief Bill The Editor of TMP Fezian18 Oct 2013 5:05 a.m. PST

Obviously, it is time for TMP 4.0 (sigh)

Personal logo Murphy Sponsoring Member of TMP18 Oct 2013 6:22 a.m. PST

Yeah…I've gone down tremendously also…and when you click on statistics to check post counts, you get a page of gobbledygook…

Something is really jacked up…

richarDISNEY18 Oct 2013 8:51 a.m. PST

Yea…
I was gone for three weeks and my post count sill went up…
Odd.

Unless there is someone posting under my account…
beer

Altius18 Oct 2013 8:53 a.m. PST

Mine zoomed to almost double for a few days, but today it's shrunk down to newbie-size.

Silent Pool18 Oct 2013 11:29 a.m. PST

It n ver us d to happ n back in th old days.

evil grin

Actually, it is such rubbish that I lik it. K p it as it is, pl as .

thumbs up

Tango India Mike18 Oct 2013 1:29 p.m. PST

Tango has made 197 posts? Less than me… I don't think so….

tkdguy19 Oct 2013 12:08 a.m. PST

My post count doesn't appear at all.

Joes Shop Supporting Member of TMP19 Oct 2013 4:57 a.m. PST

Today, my stats are all up again but still wrong: approximately 2000 + more posts than I should have.

Joes Shop Supporting Member of TMP20 Oct 2013 6:20 a.m. PST

Today, just the reverse: approximately 2000+ less posts than I should have.

infman03 Dec 2013 2:56 a.m. PST

I'm back to 3 posts, all made today…

brunet03 Dec 2013 4:47 a.m. PST

and that with 4 editors?

Joes Shop Supporting Member of TMP03 Dec 2013 5:43 a.m. PST

A new 'low' today when I checked: approximately 5000 posts less than I should have.

J Womack 9407 Jan 2014 10:59 p.m. PST

I am not even on the list, and I was in the high 60s, low 70s range last I checked.

So yes, it is still messed up, and yes, I like keeping track of how much time I have spent here.

I like my pointless milestones as much as the next guy. And the next guy is… John the OFM!

badwargamer08 Jan 2014 12:28 a.m. PST

It's been out for ages….I have checked a couple of times over the last couple of months and it has been wildly different every time. If I was bothered I might have took note of the figures and tried to work out what the changes were..but I'm not!

(Stolen Name)13 Jul 2014 10:00 p.m. PST

Interesting trivia my post count dropped from 2,800 something to 190 – no biggie but the stifle count remained the same so the ration went from 98 to 9…just saying

John the OFM14 Jul 2014 8:52 a.m. PST

Tracking the stifle count is what is really important. grin

I had been up to 138,000 last week, and am now down to 22,763.
I guess it has not been fixed yet.

Bandit14 Jul 2014 1:40 p.m. PST

What's a post count? ;-)

I just looked at my stats, they claim I've only posted 78 times and have 78 stifles… I am sure there is someone around here who doesn't want to read what I post but one per post? Yeah, the stats are likely wrong.

Cheers,

The Bandit

Nah, ya got it all wrong. Seventy eight different people are ticked off about one of your posts. :)

(Stolen Name)14 Jul 2014 7:05 p.m. PST

Oh OK while I am at it how do you get to add personal logos – could not find anything on the FAQ?

Bandit14 Jul 2014 7:50 p.m. PST

Nah, ya got it all wrong. Seventy eight different people are ticked off about one of your posts. :)

If only anything I had to say was that far reaching ;-)
