Incorrect post counts?

[muppet]

An idle curiosity...
I saw a post made by someone earlier who had apparently made zero posts. In the past, I've seen people with fewer posts to their name than I could count made by them in one particular thread.
Is this a glitch, or do posts in certain forums not count towards the total that appears beneath your name?

Posts made in the General Discussion fourm are not counted in the post count.

That would be it then. Thanks.
