My post count

[WickedWeekend]

Not that I particularly care about my number of post, I'd just like to know where they have gone. I remember distinctly that I had 1,023 posts, and I expected it to drop to a little under 1,000 once my diary was removed. And it looks like it is.

I looked at all the posts I made, and it looks like all of them are removed up until May 29th, and I started posting WAY earlier than that. I just want to know what happened and if I can fix it.

EDIT: And weirdly enough, with each new post I make, the site-recognized "oldest" post I made vanishes. My May 29th post was just replaced with a May 30th one.

You must have posted in a lot more in your diary than you thought...?

No, I counted it up before I left, to see if my post count actually would go under 1000. The amount was a bit over 30 posts.

Plus, this doesn't explain all of my posts disappearing before late May. I didn't have my diary that long, I believe.

I believe a couple other diaries were deleted, however i can't confirm that. I can't see why it'd be anything beside the diary deletion, so maybe you missed some threads or something? I'm not really sure what else it could be.

As for your posts, your oldest post went from May 29 to May 30, likely because you made new posts? It was may 29 before now it's the 30th, I don't see an issue with that.

edit; according to this (http://www.virtualteen.org/forums/showpost.php?p=2017054&postcount=912), your diary was made over 7 months ago.

You may have a valid point here, though I don't know how much I posted in the deleted diaries. I didn't go to much diaries besides my own.

So is this for everyone? Is your oldest post supposed to disappear when you make a new one?

I don't know this for sure; ImCoolBeans will know better how many (if any) went. That's really the only reason I can think of for your count to have dropped 300 posts.

Like what do you mean by disappear? I may have misunderstood you, but like if my profile said my oldest post was June 20th, and then I made more posts, it would possibly say my oldest post was on June 21. This is because in your profile, it only shows your last 300 posts (arcade and diary posts included) so each time you make a new post, your oldest post date gets closer. If that makes sense. :P

If I misunderstood you, lemme know.

Okay, I'll ask him. Thanks! :)

Nope, no misunderstanding. You answered my question perfectly. Thank you.

A few diaries were recently deleted (I believe 6) that at one time had been pretty popular diaries. You must have posted in those diaries more than you thought because nobody deleted a few hundred of your posts.

Okay, thanks for the answer! This must be it!

[Infidelitas]

Yeah, I lost about 400 posts due to the deletion. I wouldn't worry too much
