Jeff-7 Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 It degrades over time like carbon 14. Shouldn't have taken the long break Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ne14t? Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 It degrades over time like carbon 14. Shouldn't have taken the long break Dave. What is the Half Life of posts on the Gibson Forum or has this duration been calculated yet :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveinspain Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 I see what happened... The post count on your profile page is not up to date with the post count that shows in the forum as people are posting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyK Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 It degrades over time like carbon 14. Shouldn't have taken the long break Dave. Do older posts drop off the end of the punch card? At what date do they fall off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyK Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I scrolled to the last page of the Lounge threads. The oldest one was last posted on Sep 23 2008 02:31 AM. Farther back than that the last poster is listed as Guest___*, with only the thread title in tact. The posts are gone. Wow I think I just gazed upon the end of the internet. It's lonely out there.

Duende Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I would love for the number to reduced on my post count! LMAO Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riverside Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I never paid too much attention - but mine seems to have gone up a hundred or so since yesterday... They should just leave it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FarnsBarns Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 It's of no concern to me but I have noticed that every time one edits a post it increases the count in the "todays top posters" thing on the home page. Since I edit most posts once or twice just to correct typos etc, mine is usually 2-3 times higher than the actual number of posts I've made.

FirstMeasure Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Post Count? <----I thought it was the year I'd finally be discovered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrosurfer1959 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Don't think i lost any recently but i don't really keep count - but there's been a few major crashes one where we lost all the post's and everybody had to sign up again and start over and another where a year or so of posts vanished. I don't even like to think about what my post count would be if I hadn't started over a couple of times. That's why we oldtimers don't sweat the small crashes we know what a real Gibson forum crash looks like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommyK Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 As of yesterday Sept 2008 was the oldest threads still viable. There are a hand full with only the topic lines in tact. I suspect this is the stage before finally being relegated to area 51. I suspect that as they fall off the far end, we lose post counts. For me I like the post counts because I can determine if a poster is a newbie or not. Sometimes in the conversation that is relavant. I don't get all puffed up by a high count. Probably means I need a life.... or I need to practice more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky scott 29 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Maybe it's because the rest of you guys have many more posts than, but mine always seems to stay correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
