magickallight Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 I was SO happy when I hit the 5000 post mark today... and now it has subtracted WELL OVER 30 today... What is going on?!? I feel dumb for posting this - but it meant a mile-stone to me and I keep dropping in post counts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Yeah.... sorry about that We're moving to the Black Friday server cluster tomorrow night, so to prepare for that I deleted a bunch of old threads. These were primarily old/expired deals, contests, freebies, surveys, etc... that were at least a year old. This helped make the database a little smaller, which means less downtime tomorrow night and in December when we move back, and it should have a slight overall improvement as far as the performance of the site. So that explains your (and many others) drop in post count. I only do this once per year, so when you hit 5,000 again, it should stick :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stationchief Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Thanks for the heads up, Brad. And for the heart attack! I seriously thought I'd done somethin' wrong when I had about a hundred less posts than I did the other day. G'luck with the server move tomorrow!

Brad Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 And of course now the server move has been postponed until Thursday night (not my idea, lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockfordmom Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Am I the only one that never has any idea of how many posts she has? A hundred less or a thousand less, I'd never notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amyers12345 Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 same here Rockfordmom- I just don't pay too much attention anymore. I used to really worry about it, but after a few of the cuts, I decided that it was just a number! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kranky Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 I don't look at my post count either, especially since the system doesn't count the posts in the Men Only private forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noehlp Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 I don't look at my post count either, especially since the system doesn't count the posts in the Men Only private forum. We have a 'Men Only' private forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Bumping this thread before someone posts a new one. Like we do every year, we've been deleting a lot of older threads (expired contests, expired freebies, dead deals, etc...) to make the forum DB a little smaller for tonight's move to the Black Friday servers, so if you see your post count and various forums' total posts go down, DON'T PANIC!!!!
