Your posts haven't gone anywhere, what you are seeing is that posts in some areas do not count toward your total number. The "Other" forum is one of those places.

We actually had some members posting tons of nothing just trying to boost their post count numbers We use enough bandwith just trying to provide information we all can use, with out that stuff as well

Any other questions, just let me know

Or, (and I could be wrong...) say I delete a thread because it's gotten out of hand, and you happened to have 2 posts in it... they buy it too...

This could be another explaination...

(cowers in corner from his Top-ness...)

This is also possible....but a Lococmotive Superhero hardly seems like the type to get posts removed so I didn't go there

Now thats funny! If I ever break a site rule for whatever reason by all means change my user title to that!

Actually that wouldn't be a bad idea to do to people who break the site rules.

Did you ever think DTR would come as far as it has? Of course the more people you have the crazier it gets
