What's a post count?

Something newbies care about?

Post by: fohat.digs on Thu, 03 December 2015, 07:55:59: So what is the actual reason for the problem?

Does traffic get so heavy at times that the server just chokes?

infiniti posted in the other thread in announcements: something internal, but root cause still unknown.

This is all I can think of when I hear Rollback. Except the one in my head has a cowboy hat for some reason.

Post by: fohat.digs on Thu, 03 December 2015, 17:17:27: So imagine it lasting for 2 weeks and nothing coming back, as happened with r00tw0rm in what, June 2011?

I can't remember, did post counts reset to zero? I was a padawan back then anyway.

And there was even a "feedback rating" system for GH that evaporated, too.

They all got sent to a nice biiiiig farm where they can run around and play with the lost posts from r00twyrm and be happy forever and ever.

The feedback rating (different name automatically applied to different post count levels) was deliberately disabled.

I thought it was fun on a different forum I belong to - they changed the titles to pirate-related ones for a week or two around pirate day, like new members were "bilge rates" and high post counts members were captains :))
