Looks like some members counts are increasing. magiciansampras is our newest FT Posting Legend with over 57,000 posts. Also anonplz has reached that status with over 41,000 posts. Spiff is also there with over 47,000 but there's no room under his name to add anything else.

I don't think mine's changed more than a couple hundred, but I was never a heavy hitter in OMNI. Looks like Dovster is also now a Posting Legend, too. Didn't we just have the 2 before (doc, GUWonder)?

As I said elsewhere, this is as it should be. The decision to not count OMNI posts in 2008 was a mistake that's now been fixed. Let's move on now.

Perhaps sentiments and the will of the TB or members have changed over time.. and shall continually evolve..

IMO, it was a big mistake.

Every time I log in, my post count has changed! It's a bit troublesome.

This sounds like a great basis for a game thread, "Guess what your post count will be the next time you log in?" 
Though I guess things will be stabilizing over the next few days (if they haven't already.)

You can feel free to start that in the games forum. I would guess that IB is working on it, and will complete this rather large task in minimal time.

BTW, I've just gained 11k overnight
I don't like the fact i've now missed my 30k milestone post as a result of this 
(or even my 33333st
)
