TOMMY TUNES Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Last night I looked at top posters list and found I was 5th. I knew that to be incorrect as I knew I was 6th behind Tony Cartmill last time I checked and since Tony was still ahead of me I doubted that we had both passed someone. I tried to remember who else was ahead of me last time but not now. I think it was Pauliemississippi. When I checked Pauliemississippi's count I saw no number next to him. This must be the answer. But why were Paulie's posts dropped? and will they be reinstated? Those are the questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackhawkpat Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 They removed all of Paulie's posts that offended someone and he now has zero. Just kiddin', buddy! I can say that cos I know Paulie can take a joke........I'm sure it's just a computer glitch or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnO Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 For that matter, what happened to Muzza's and my posts??? (I was #10, he was somewhere in the Top 10 as well.) WTF gives??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnO Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Hmmm...I see I have 5,219 per the # of Posts after my last message, but Paulie, Muzza & I are all off the list of Top Posters....(???)(Sheesh....leave town for 4-5 days and everybody forgets you!)

JohnO Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I think I just solved the mystery about people disappearing from the Top Posters List on the Directory....Been out of town since last Friday morning, and just posted for the first time again a few minutes ago....and I've been returned to the Top Posters List. Apparently, you're dropped if you're off the list for any extended period of time (5-6 days maybe?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulie Mississippi Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 More likely that Bernie has purged some of the older files maybe... and though it was an honor to be among the top posters, it's not like it earned us dinner with Eric or anything...

Paulie Mississippi Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I mean... come on, I couldn't have had THAT many offending posts, could I? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspbernie Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Haha. I can assure you there is nothing underhanded going on. The fact is that this Message Board mostly runs by itself. I have no idea what's under the hood! It's a little scary, especially when you consider the volume of posts here day after day, week after week, year after year. I do clean up posts where the poster made some mistakes in coding (mostly with quotes and links) and every now and then I also do some maintenance that is recommended, which includes clearing caches and that may wipe old posts that were deleted at a previous time. I suppose that affects post numbers, but rest assured that I don't go in and tinker with Member info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnO Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 As soon as I came back after a 5-6 day absence and posted once, my name reappeared among the Top Posters...same for Paulie. Posts aren't being wiped out, it's just some sort of automatic maintenance feature that drops you from the Directory list of Top (Active) Posters if you leave for a certain period. No harm done at all.......and I'm guessing no one would have noticed, had Tommy not brought it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darlene Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 The board is such an overwhelmingly huge job that Bernie wouldn't even have time to worry about individual posts if he wanted to.He's too busy digging up way cool pictures of the guys and pulling those magic tricks out of his sleeves to produce goodies. --D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
