LPguitarman Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Yesterday I reached 25 Posts and became the top poster. Today, it still showed me as the top poster with 25, but every time I post today, the number goes down. Before I posted this new thread it was at 24. :blink: Just checked again, and now I'm at 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundergod Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Beats me... better stop posting dude, you might end up with 0 postcount and you know everything in the world is about post count on the gibson forum. I know this guy, went lookin' for a job, did bad in the interview, but then thay saw he had like 5000 posts in the gibson forum, offered him a better job that the one he was aplyin' for.

Wow, with 11,601 posts, you could probably get any job you want. \:D/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artie Owl Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I think it's based on the last 24 hours, so if you made 10 posts between 3pm and 4 pm they go away from the calculation after 4 pm. I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think. Artillery Owl is right. Your posts only stay in the count for 24 hours from the time they were posted, after 24 hours they are removed from your count. Why does it go backwards? Apparently you missed those pesky math classes in elementary school that taught subtraction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artie Owl Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Because any posts you made greater than 24 hours ago go away, but the posts you made in that 24 hour time frame remain. So; (I think anyway) If I made ten posts and 25 hours later I've made no posts it returns to zero. If I made 50 posts at 3 pm yesterday, and 20 more at 5 pm, I would have a total of 70 posts for the day until 3pm the next day where it would reduce to the 20 posts that I made at 5pm. That's why it fluxuates. That make any sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrosurfer1959 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Where is rocketman when you need are there any other Astro Physicists or a good plumber here that could look into the space time flux on the forum? I didn't think post counts were important anymore now it's all about the little reputation points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LPguitarman Posted October 12, 2010 Author Share Posted October 12, 2010 Ok, I get it now... I love the Space, Time Continuem(sp) thing though. If you go back in time and do something to change the future, and then go back earlier in time and change something so that the previous visit never needed to happen, what happens then???

LPguitarman Posted October 19, 2010 Author Share Posted October 19, 2010 I feel so stupid after I realized about the 24 hour thing. This internet thing is going to be really big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPguitarman Posted October 19, 2010 Author Share Posted October 19, 2010 Better watch out, all this being proud with all the posts can be easily wiped out like what happened a few months ago when they moved the forum to a outside hosting service vs Gibson hosting the site. We all lost loads of posts, and sadly many of those posts were really valuable and filled with loads of cool info. So that's what happened with the forum crash. Server's, can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrNylon Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 If this was back in the 60's, when you got up to a certain number of posts in a day, you'd get green stamps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
