Was there any method used in determining how many posts people lost?

I certainly don't use AH, TCN or the Thunderdome very often.

I've lost about a thousand posts for every year I've been here. I think. I'm not exactly sure what my actual post count is.

I wonder if it's random or is there some method to the post count reduction, e.g.
postcount = postcount-posts with one line or less. I.e. Only show the number of worthwhile posts.

There's always a metho, there is no random.
TCN posts are the only ones that matter.

Nice one Ecksor. Chaos is stability.

As I have made three posts I would hate to think of the algorithm you used. Or on a more scary level how your brain made it so.

I'm pretty sure I went up as well. If it's a rule for After Hours, my sig is all the better.

Hobbes used to have a postcount that would vary randomly, maybe that's been applied sitewide?
