AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the observation of users with a post count of zero despite their participation in threads. It highlights that posts in the PF Lounge do not contribute to post counts, which may explain some instances of zero counts. A specific example was noted where a thread was moved from General Discussion to a scientific forum, affecting post counts retroactively. Additionally, it is mentioned that accounts may have been removed, leading to preserved post data but missing account information. The conversation emphasizes the nuances of post counting and account management on the forum.

Zz.
 
Note that Tom.G's original example no longer works because the thread was moved to Relativity, and the posts now count. o0)
 
Actually I posted it in the General Discussion forum at first looking for sources vide post 1 by me. But the course of discussion made the thread best fit to be in a scientific forum. So I requested it to be moved vide last post by me. All replies were made when the post was in the General Forum.
So...
 
These members might also have had their accounts removed. It preserves the post data, but most of the account data is gone.
