Did anyone else notice?

[Lo)2enz0]

i don't know if there is a thread on this yet but you need more posts for the higher gears now. I was 3rd gear before i went to mexico and now i am back down to 2nd. just wondering what happened there.

Crazy, I went down 2 gears. I'm gonna go end myself.

Saw this earlier today

Which does it read?
Total posts = 623
or when i click on "Search for all posts by this user" = 938

Yeap...everybody came down I guess. Posts count have been increased per gear. I came down two gears as well....even though I thought it would be only one according to the new post counts too. lol...i just noticed too..Kenny became a newbie! But I guess he can change his to whatever he wants though eh...

My guess is kenny changed some rules around (other areas that used to count) and recalculated the total post count. We don't delete old posts/threads.

This is what happened over the last few days:

When someone on the admin team (in this case it was me) changes whether or not posts in a certain forum count toward the users post count, the software does not automatically change each users post count.

Also, when threads that originate in a section where posts do count are moved to a section that does not count, post counts again are not immediately changed on your user profile. I decided to update the db with actual figures yesterday.

If your post count dropped significantly, it means you post a lot of off topic type stuff and not real automotive content.

this might not be the EXACT reason...but usually why post counts decrease...

My post count didn't decrease, only my gears. Who wants to change my gear to finnish flash or flying finn? I don't like gears, I don't want to be judged by my post count, rather by how awesome I am.

^^ So which sections do they count and which they dont?? Or is that classified info?

EDIT: Meant to be for Arif

Yup, I noticed this today as well. Oh well, 1500 til the next gear change.

well Kenny did make ratio changes...so my post doesn't truly apply...haha...BUT having said that.

Forums that don't count are lounge areas...

finboy is probably crying...

[BerserkerCatSplat]

Wow, I lost a couple of gears there. Any reason for the change? It's not like we've got too many long-standing members on the site...

(Some of us just aren't cool enough to have custom titles, so we need our Gears to feel good about ourselves.)

No difference at all, I was just mildly curious.

[Goblin]

I didnt notice at all lol... mine hasnt changed, nor would I have noticed either..

[lastprodigy]

If it didnt make a difference, it wouldnt be changed

[toyboy88]

went down 2 gears myself...

[Nix87]

Laurier quit whining.

[Chester]

Gears don't matter bitchas. Hehe.

[nismodrifter]

Mine didn't change

[shakalaka]

^Word what does it matter anyways? As long as you have the priveledge of posting in the forums. I mean its just a freakin gear which appears under your name. Not really a big deal in my opinion.
