Post Counts
I don't know if this is something that has been discussed already (can't get the search function to work) - but I was wondering if a lot of people are missing posts? Not that it's a super-big deal or anything, but I was wondering about it because pre-revamped FT, I had about 1500+ post & post-revamped FT, I had about 1000+ posts.
Just curious what happened & if anyone else is missing a significant number of posts in their post count?

I don't think I'm missing any posts, but I'm not 100% certain.
One thought... since some very lengthy threads have gone missing & can't be brought back, maybe posts to those threads are excluded from the count.

I lost about 1000 posts, but am not too worried about it. I'll get them back sooner or later

I also lost post counts in the conversion -- about 200 or so. I don't really care.

I openly confess to being envious to those with larger post counts than me.... I cant explain why, but I know that I just am. I try to make a nice number of posts per day to see if I can keep the gap as small as possible... 
I think Im just pathetically addicted to FT...
What the hell... I like to think my envy is not meant in a bad way, and its certainly easier to post more every now and then than to work hard enough to kick the habit, right...?

I don't know about the individual post counts, but I do know that many actual posts and entire threads have gone missing after the conversion.

Perhaps the missing posts/threads explains why the counts on the main page dont line up with the "count" that appears in the address line of browser?
This is not a criticism - I think the conversion went extremely well ^ ^ ^

I am not sure if those with posts in such threads 'lost' those posts, who knows? I guess we did, and in the big picture of things, it is no big deal IMHO.
C'est la vie.

Does "la vie" translate to English simply as "in life?"
Thanks!
