wondering about "0 posts"

Just curious... I've seen a few people (myself included), who have posted a few messages, but their info box still says "0 posts". Can someone let me know why this is the case?

Do you need to reach a certain number of posts before the number changes?

Which is why I work in the bargain basement. (still wonders how she racked up so many posts outside of GD)

I would definitely like it if you send me money... but I won't fix anything for you.

You're the admin, so... you could cheat and give yourself more posts.

Good thing you got rid of them. I'm a guy.

Does this mean that if I make one post on a working theory of quantum gravity I become the greatest PF member?
