Plz explain docked posts? so many gone......boo hoo....
« on: May 06, 2008, 04:34:09 AM »
I couldn't find the answer myself, (I'm sure it is very easy to find) but why do some of us get docked a large number of posts? I just went down 21 posts...boohoo

A thread must have been deleted.  Apparently that happens.

Did you post in the Word Association thread? When that one reaches 50 pages, Priscellie deletes them off the server to save space. Unfortunately, it detracts from the post count.
If you are up to no good, please do no good for me too, okay?   ;D

Nah - Priscellie only does that in the Word Association thread, cause there's generally nothing in there to save for posterity, and we just take the hit on the post count. It's really only a hardship for the newbies like yourself that are fighting to get past that 100 post mark for whatever reason.

All the other threads go to The Nostalgia Nook (archive) at 50 pages. No count lost.

Ah, yes, for posterity we save the other threads....  Does anyone get a really funny image of three computer anthropologist or sociologist geeks a thousand centuries from now reading our posts?  I guess it would be better than going through our trash heaps (hopefully before long we all have zero environment footprints and there aren't any) but I see a whole cult being built up on CAW and what it might all mean in a spiritual sense...  :-)   Come to think of it, if there were a huge revolution or something it might have gotten it's start in Touch Subjects. 

uhm grammar check... should anthropologist and sociologist be plural?  What will those researchers think of our grammar based off postings.  Getting a headache thinking too hard.

They'll either find a Rosetta-like Stone, or just choose to get stoned.  The latter would probably make everything perfectly clear.
