Where did my posts go?

I noticed something strange just a few seconds ago, my post count has been lowered with about 20 posts. Yesterday I had 502 at my post count now it's down at 478 (479 after this). Why?
Have I posted stuff that counts as spam or what? Why did someone delete my posts?
Just wanna know.

sometimes entire topics that shouldnt even be on gt are removed due to rules/issues and all posts within that topic are counted. We just have to remove posts sometimes vs. locking them which is kinda silly when a topic is just obviously not within the site rules. I dont see why people are so silly about post counts though, you dont get a cookie unless you have like 10k posts.
Mmmmmm cookies.

It was the old Conversion Pack Bug thread, I lost about 100 posts from it

ROFL!!

Yeah, I purge the SWBF Conversion Pack forum often so I can keep track of what threads are important and what aren't.

With regards to removing topics etc... why isn't the "Auto-pruning" feature setup on the off topic forum? Set it at "no new posts for 30 days" for example as per site rule #4 with regards to resurecting old topics. Obviously with some of the forums there are things over the 30 day period that need to be kept so they can be referenced, but I don't think that applies for the "off topic
" forum.
