Forum Post Counts
« on: March 7, 2006 01:44 pm CST »
I wrote a script to recalculate everybody's post counts.  Everybody's post totals should be correct now.  :)

As a point of history:  Our last server clear was on September 27, 2004.  That is 4963 days ago (13.6 years) as of today.

If you're visiting after a long hiatus and have forgotten your password, try emailing me via the support form at http://www.pcrpg.org.

If your character is from after the 2004 clear but appears to have been deleted or reset, chances are it was caught in one of the inactive account purges over the years.  Backups were made before such events, so try the support form.

None for you, KoRo. He just said "1664 is probably how many posts that spammer made"

let x = something;

It solved everything.

Additionally, I removed lots of fake accounts (about 50) that were made by auto-registration advertising robots.

I just automated what I normally do manually upon request.  I query the database for how many posts a user has made and then update the user's post count to reflect that.  I just made it go through all the users and record their posts, then update all users' post counts with their true values.

It took like 5 minutes to write...nothing complex.  I figured people with inaccurate post counts would like it though.

I doubt it.  If so, your old count was inaccurate.

Manually verified.  Your post count is 100% correct.  If you hadn't noticed, we lost all posts made between June 2005 and January 2006.
