Larks, despite what the number in the upper-right says right now, we're on the right track. 29 posts have gone missing and are in the process of being restored.

How can a post just go missing.

What? That dosen't make much sense.

[astronelson 339]

5315.

29 posts were deleted, all by the same person.

It was originally 30, but we've already put one back.

How did they go missing.

One wrong move can mess things up...

[Muck308 55]

Deleted posts, eh? That'll fudge the numbers.

I was supposed to go to a baseball game tonight but when I got out of work it was already the 5th inning. Dates and times are subject to change. I'm so upset. I haven't been to a game for a month and a half and was really looking forward to it.

How did they go missing.

Some people think it's fun to mess things up.

But I believe the thread is back on track now.

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

5320

Seriously? I thought these threads were all in good fun? Why would anyone want to do that?

Today I rode the Rocky Hill-Glastonbury ferry... the oldest continually operating ferry in the US. Been in operation since 1655. Closing permanently next week due to budget cuts. Sad, huh?

I did a science experiment to see whether the page flip bug would show up if a bunch of posts were deleted.

5323

Even though its already been proven multiple times that it doesn't come back? And in this thread of all threads? Wow, thanks.

[Frdm920 50]

5324

...Certainly explains why 95% of the posts that me and BL found missing were yours. Thanks a lot Ocram :|

[RipRap 4,400]

5325

Well, only an experiment... Well sometimes someone has to sacrifice... :|

[astronelson 339]

I believe the correct reaction to this is

We already know the PFB doesn't show up. It would be like me, without seeking permission from the relevant authorities, shutting down a busy road to see if traffic stays the same. We know it doesn't, and that course of action would get me in serious trouble.

[Duke87 1,070]

(5327)

Yes, well, this is one of those concept of mind things...

Ocram, I can understand why you'd want to test the PFB issue, but you have to try and remember that there are other people here who are affected when you do such things. And we are not amused at seeing the numbers get messed up because a bunch of posts go missing.

I know it isn't something you'll necessarily realize on your own (all too well... I'm Autistic myself and I've made many of the same sort of mistake), but try and think as best you can how other people will react before you do something rash.

I formally apologize for any inconvenience or problems caused by my experiment but my aspie obsession of experimentation got the best of me. I have such a great curiosity. I did not break any general rules and I mostly redacted posts that contained personal information I did remember putting up and no longer wanted easily available. On those posts, I said "redacted personal info." By all means revive the posts I made but please edit out the personal information. Most of the posts, however had the 'reason for deletion' being lines of a song I recently discovered (one-winged angel).

I guess I did not think about the consequences at 1 in the morning on my 20th birthday.

[darthvader]Apology accepted.[/darthvader]

What's going to be the longest continually operated ferry once the Rocky Hill-Glastonbury shuts down?

[Timmystwin 201]

Just poppin by. Again.

At this point I'm just trying to rack up a few extra posts to get my posts per day count back up above 1.

[astronelson 339]

5333.

Mine's apparently 5.33 per day.

[Vahr 341]

5334

3.52 ppd here

[Duke87 1,070]

(5335)

Profiles only report on active ppd... though it isn't difficult to calculate overall. Posts divided by days since registration. Which gives me 7.73 ppd.

[Jamesrules90 133]

5336

1.62 post per day, although I didn't start posting until recently.

[RipRap 4,400]

5337

In 1 Month I increased my average from zero to one something...

[astronelson 339]

5338.

In most cases active posts and actual posts should be close enough to each other to make little difference in the average ppd.

[Jamesrules90 133]

5339

Is having a lower ppd good or bad.
