Why did my post count jump from 314 to 618?

[tribdog]

I stopped posting outside of general discussion when I hit 314 posts. I figured pi was a cool number to stop at and I knew I wasnt going to hit Avagadro's, so why do I now have 618 posts?

Some areas in the Lounge count towards post numbers. Perhaps you've been using them?

Make 10 more and you got $$\tau$$... It's way better than pi anyways...

It seems trib is reluctant to make more posts.
I guess he's afraid he'll go over 628!

Greg had rearranged the subforums in the Lounge and GD, as well as creating new ones -- this might have been a year ago. Existing threads got moved among subforums under the new layout, and some of those subforums count towards your post count. Long story short: previous posts of yours that were not counted may now be included in the post count number.

p.s. pi is not equal to three hundred and fourteen anyway, so fuh-geddaboudit

Just means you ought to get back here and start working on four digits instead of settling for three.

if you guys would just count general disscussion I'd have at least 10000.

8128 is a perfect number of posts to have...
