Noticed that my post count is now 90 when I could have sworn my post count a few days ago was 166. Is there a bug or was something done to the forums?

It honestly shouldn't matter? Post count really doesn't have any major relevance.
Anyway. Some threads you posted in could have been deleted, and that would lower your count. At least it does on some forum providers.
Meep~
This is true, post count would go down. Or if threads got moved to Fun Stuff. But if you count up their posts in the "post areas" tab in their profile, it doesn't add up. But it's happened to other people before. I lost about a hundred on my post count a few days ago as well, and I know others who have had the problem.
Does your title get better with higher post counts?
Dontrike: I didn't look at your post history, but sometimes what happens is a thread from WoW Gen or OT Gen or whatever gets moved to Fun Stuff, and all the posts in that thread for each poster no longer get counted and you can lose a lot of post count with that.
Other than that I'm guessing a few threads got deleted.
It looks like this thread was moved to fun stuff:
http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/...ing-the-Thread
The "post areas" tab doesn't take into account deleted posts.
But I created that thread in fun stuff, plus with 81 posts in that thread my post count would have been higher than the 166 that I had before, so I don't think that is the problem.
It isn't like it's a huge deal that it is lower, I was was just curious as to why this might be.

Good to know.
But that thread was originally in Fun Stuff. I merged it and it moved to GenOT because I wasn't paying attention, so I moved it back. Don's post area shows only 9 posts in General Off-topic, where the thread was temporarily, while he has 81 posts in that thread. I don't think it's being caused by that.
It's possible that it subtracts when something is moved to fun stuff but doesn't properly add when it gets merged into a forum that does count postcount; hmm.
I'll run some tests, but that would probably be a vb issue
Thanks Sunshine.
