You should feel lucky.

They not only don't count, they were removed from your total along with any you posted in thrown threads. Next will be any you posted in the lounge.

Who cares? The higher the post count the less of a social life you have. :rolleyes:

What's thrown threads?

The super secret forum that only mods see. (or so they say)

Supposedly it is where deleted threads go; instead of being . . well . . deleted.

Again. This is just a theory proposed by inside operatives.

I was told in another thread on this I needed a billion to reach the free bw prize level.

If anyone needs a few posts, you have my permission to pm a mod to see if they can transfer some of mine to you. I don't believe I'm in the running anyhow.

I don't understand why so many people are concerned with their post count?

Alot of people see there post count as "status"..

i.e. you respect someone more if they have a higher post count.

Much like SA's 'comedy gas chamber' I assume.. except regular users can't read the moved threads in order to poke fun at 'em.

Yea, this sucks... Im now a newbie with 14 posts... I was a WHT Guru with 175 or so...

Cant the mods put our post counts back to what they were and then place this new rule active as of now...

you know... just as long as they don't start charging for custom titles.. in which case I would just leave WHT all together... but anyways, unless that happens, im still content with WHT :D
