and what happened to my post count anyway? "5"? really?…

Just Jack Supporting Member of TMP23 Dec 2013 9:09 p.m. PST

Yeah, me too.

I'm stuck at 12 posts since 1 Dec, though I had hundreds before that and I've posted quite a bit since then as well. And I have 40 stifles, so my ratio really sucks…

V/R,
Jack

…its a history mystery…heard some hub bub earlier this month about that…

I think the system is now counting down, instead of up.

I blame it on "redistribution"…….

Jakar Nilson23 Dec 2013 9:18 p.m. PST

Could well be. Maybe the databases that the posts were stored in got altered, and they no longer are recognized as yours.

Great War Ace23 Dec 2013 9:33 p.m. PST

Didn't the OFM have c. 50K? Now he "only" shows c. 26K. Robbery!…

John the OFM23 Dec 2013 10:08 p.m. PST

The flay rod on TMP has gone out of skew with the treadle.
All we be fixed in TMP 45.0.
Dear Editor hath promised.

Things went >KABLOOIE< when I was approaching 75K.
Who knows what it is now? Probably close to 78 or even 80K. Maybe.
But I do not want to talk about it, lest some lavage knapsack from Frothers think I care about it. grin

You're very efficient? grin

Bashytubits23 Dec 2013 11:14 p.m. PST

More stifles than posts? Now that is something to brag about on TMP.

Martin Rapier24 Dec 2013 1:09 a.m. PST

Yes, the counting went wrong a long time ago. My #characters posted exceeded 6 million a few years ago and now it just shows as a few thousand. Maybe the stifle counts are wrong too?

Silent Pool24 Dec 2013 3:21 a.m. PST

Oh my gosh!! Mine too. There is something very wrong here. Oh well, no big deal, I suspect.

It's a Festivus miracle!

chrisminiaturefigs24 Dec 2013 8:10 a.m. PST

More stifles than posts!!!
Funny I was asking myself the same thing

John the OFM24 Dec 2013 9:49 a.m. PST

I am not all that sure about the accuracy of the stifle count anymore either.
I shot up 30 in the last month and was no more obnoxious than usual.

Altius24 Dec 2013 9:56 a.m. PST

If its any consolation, John, I haven't stifled you yet.

My stifle count has barely moved in weeks, and I've been pretty obnoxious.

Great War Ace24 Dec 2013 10:06 a.m. PST

"Whiterose" doesn't even have any posts, not even a place for them. But plenty of room for stifles. How ironic is that? I got three new stifles just by starting this thread last night.

When you clicked on "Statistics, Members, Top Posters by Number of Posts", all you got was a screen full of code/text; that was last night. Now the page comes up just dandy, but the post count is totally screwed. TMP link Notice that OFM's post count does not match the total of "c. 26K" that it showed last night" – unless you add them together, that is, since fifty "top posters" are each listed twice….

Ascent24 Dec 2013 10:15 a.m. PST

You want a stifle count higher then your post count just start a post about stifles.

14Bore24 Dec 2013 5:32 p.m. PST

I have found a few people with more stifles than posts, but they were all New first day members with no posts and stifles.

altfritz24 Dec 2013 7:10 p.m. PST

Well I personally stifled you over a dozen times, John, if that helps.

Mako1125 Dec 2013 12:48 p.m. PST

If you've truly stifled him, how do you know he's talking about stifling?

Apparently, we have mind-readers here too.

I think altfritz is a Zhodani!!!

14Bore25 Dec 2013 4:43 p.m. PST

My guess is if he stifled John a dozen times, he still has a few more open to still read what he writes.

Brian Smaller25 Dec 2013 5:13 p.m. PST

Maybe everyone hates you. Seemed that way in my case when my post to stifle ratio went through the roof while I was doghoused.

Great War Ace29 Dec 2013 11:22 a.m. PST

The posts are back.

But, really John? 144K+ posts? You said c. 80K, are you that out of touch with how much time you spend on TMP? Or can any of us believe what the stats say anymore? Is Bill just making the numbers up?…

Great War Ace09 Jan 2014 8:55 p.m. PST

More screwy post counts. Now OFM is back in the under 30K range. Will it never end, or is TMP broken for good?…

Cacique Caribe14 Jan 2014 11:32 p.m. PST

How can I be overdrawn? I still have a bunch of unused checks!

I think some of us (well, probably just me) will look back at this period of stifle/posting confusion as The Golden Age of TMP. evil grin
