ozzysfang Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 anyone else lose your rep and number of posts? I was a Reconstructionist and now I'm a scavenger with 41 posts? WTF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakurambo Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 the form is moving to a new system old threads, i think pre 2017 but i'm not sure, are being deleted because they can't move all of them to the new forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhud1979 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Yeah a lot of my posts disappeared. I didn't have all that many anyway (compared to some of the forum greats such as Guppy), but many of the ones I DID have were apparently before the cutoff date.

At the size it was, the forum would have been MIA for about two weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzysfang Posted April 20, 2020 Author Share Posted April 20, 2020 well darn it was like 650 posts I lost...and all that rep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Well that really sucks! Going from Leader to basically nothing again. I had more than 5650 posts... (with old screenshot to prove it)... all gone. I understand the reasoning for chopping the forums in half or w/e, but it would have been nice to save a record of the top 100 or so posters so they don't have to redo their rankings / post count all over again. As we both know it's easy to fudge that number in the control panel, not to mention rep points as well. I know these are just numbers with no real life meaning and whatnot... but video game achievements are even more pointless and look how much we care about those. You took away those stats and rep from us and now I feel like a nobody on this site all over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 I thought that starting over and redo-ing was all part and parcel to the whole 7 Days to Die gig.... Honestly, though, I've always been impressed with this forum because post count never was something that people lorded over others or used to try and claim more credibility. What's funny is that I remember some extremely frequent posters in the far past who would have zero posts if they decided to return today. *cough...Doc...cough* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also liked to look back at posts I first made about someone water spamming my base on a server, when you could do that. Whatevs I guess. I guess the join date is still there...so yeah I got that goin' for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Join dates will will soon change to March of 2020 for everyone. Time has had no meaning since the beginning of March and I begin to wonder if anything truly existed before Covid-19.... (I kid) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzysfang Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 I've always liked the cut of your jib bro. I guess that's why you do what you do. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I lost about 10,000 posts. And now I *appear* to be normal. I'm like a Dishong Tower false floor.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoaAldritt Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Ugh... Will that also mean I lose my Original Survivor badge too? I'm losing more and more interest in hanging out here now. *Cough* The reply you quoted was intended to be a joke..Even added 'I kid' at the end. You're not likely going to get punted to a join date of 2020, or to lose your badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhud1979 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I'm not really sad that I lost my posts... I was never a frequent poster, and didn't say all that much that mattered anyway. I'm more sad to lose all those old threads. Every once in a while I'd dig back through some of them just out of nostalgia. Did we lose chimneygate? How am I supposed to know how much anguish was caused by all the broken ankles in A11? And, for the love of all that's good, how am i gonna remember who gave me a random ding to my 'reputation' back in 2015???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laz Man Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Losing our rep. And post count is like losing our 7 year save game. Get the pitch fork folks!!! I demand justice in this great injustice! Do you know how long I spam crafted to get my post count to where it was? ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
