Me - 50,792. A wastrel!

On a positive note, a thread I started in February 2009 has 33,807 contributions so far.

And what's more, a lady who posted on my thread on it's very first day continues to do so regularly to this day. Must be a record of some sort. :-D

Does your post count get reduced if a thread you have contributed to is deleted?

Dermot Report 30 Nov 2015 10:23

Kense - yes.

So most members have actually posted more than their current count would suggest.

I see from the URLs that the current post count is about 9,426,540 but the sum of the board counts is about 6.2 million so roughly a third of posts have been deleted.

Likewise the thread totals were 1103909 when I checked but the URL of a late thread was 1356445, so nearly a quarter of threads have gone.
