Are there other forums that formerly count but no longer do? I very rarely visited OMNI otherwise, and was long aware (correctly?) that OMNI posts didn't count. For example, I used to contribute quite a bit to Newsstand before the rules were changed. It would be interesting to know. If I'm right, a drop of 1500 posts from my original post count is a significant difference that I can't explain.
I suppose I shouldn't be embarrassed asking since TB felt it was an issue worth a motion, vote, and subsequent changes of post counts.
In closing, this does seem ironic, when so much FT discussion is geared toward calculating and maximizing points, and holding airlines and hotel chains accountable for their calculations, e.g. the post-merger mileage "bump-ups" for UA and CO customers.

True, but I would note that you don't earn air miles when you take reward flights. Nor should your "earn" a flyertalk post when you engage in game posts.

My question is why my original post count seems to have dropped rather significantly.

But I earned those points when they still counted.
I want to file a claim. I should get my post count increased due to previous rules.

If you do file a claim, please state that I'd love to ""donate" my 600+ overnight gifted posts to you to strengthen your case and get back your "FT status." That would be a win-win for both of us!

A lot of credit card program reward flights do earn air miles. Also, there have been and still remain ways to earn miles from airline program mileage tickets.

Around the corner from what was then the (older) Hilton hotel in São Paulo (Brazil), there used to be a billboard that had a Karma advertising services as just that: "blonde, beautiful" with double the equipment or something like that. Sounded like a she-male.
Should this post go in this thread, in some stale Hilton thread or in OMNI? Either way the post counts.
