I've noticed a lot of threads get moved to Pointless Drivel... which is fine.

In Pointless Drivel, any post you reply to doesn't add to your total posts count.

If for example you post in a thread (like this one), and your post goes from 100 to 101, and then this thread is moved to Pointless Drivel, does it minus the posts from here?

Does that make sense?

When the Religious Ravings thread was eventually moved to the PD forum I lost a whopping 600+ posts from my total, which at that time was around 1800, and I was rather ticked off...but i'm still here. :bye:

Well if you will make such a large contribution to a thread that was predestined for Pointless Drivel then that's what happens. It's not a coincidence that threads about religion, the environment, politics etc all end up there.

Yeah - I was going to make a similar comment, but figured it was probably pointless, so I will keep quiet :shutup:
