Why do I have negative posts?

No idea LearJett.

@Solo: That sucks. Just means you are gonna die before I will.

EDIT: Whoa shit, I've got 199 posts. MGB, did you delete some posts? Because everyone's post count went down.

I try to never delete posts, even if they are deemed crap unless it is blatent spam for penis enhancement or something to promote a site on search engines or lure people into a trap.

It was just a simple SQL statement I ran. Re-counted everyone's posts, ignoring the Announcement forum, and using Trash Talk as a -1/4 counter instead of +1.

Then you may as well just put my post count to 0xFFFFFF XD

I like to do my mods on a one-person event. Smong already has the hex posts.

Very nice, MGB. That's an awesome idea.

Now I'm actually proud of my high post count.

Too bad it's your own gayness.

Does it apply to future posts too, or just previous ones?

I think we need a 'Tech discussion' forum seperate from Trash Talk now though, or change the purpose(/name) of the Non-Subspace Related Coding forum.
Or are we supposed to have threads like these in General Questions? The subtitle doesn't say so.

I think such topics aren't really Trash Talk and therefore shouldn't be in that forum section and shouldn't decrease postcount.

I agree with solo, but I don't see any reason to remove post counts in trash talk. Splitting the forum would only lead to the degradation of the entire board. The "cool" people would stop posting in trash talk, so the newbies would start posting elsewhere to get the attention they seek.

It was a one-time deal when I ran a manual SQL command through the database. I'll resync them correctly in the future.

Its another one of those sort term random things I find myself enjoying to do. When programming large projects, sometimes you need time to just code something for fun. These forums are a good escape every so often because it only takes 5 minutes to do something new.

Post counts don't matter, remember?

No. I don't remember that. Where does it say that?

Did it get undone/reversed?
