What's going on with post count?

About a week ago I crossed the 10,000 post border. Since then I've noticed that, when I check FT in the morning, my post count is about 5 or 10 posts lower than the night before. What's happening? Is this from threads in which I post being moved to OMNI? That's the only thing I can figure.

IIRC, when threads are relocated to OMNI & /PR, posts in those threads don't count no more.

When threads get deleted, post count will drop as well.

Sounds like they delete your existence piece by piece while you sleep ... still believe it'd be nice to know when something you've authored is modified/deleted for whatever (valid or otherwise) reason!!

-- BTW, I know at least in the UA forum, multiple posts by a single poster are combined regularly, so given the above, I'm sure that also will impact post count.

my post count appears to be stuck @ 1591. While I'm not posting like I used to, I still have some non-omni posts...whats the deal?

ETA: this post knocked me to 1592...but, as far as I'm aware, I've been at 1591 for a while now....strange

maybe, but i feel as though i've been stuck at this 159X for a LONG time (months?)

this could all be in my head though, and i haven't really been posting as much outside of omni due to a lack of travel...
