NationStates Jolt Archive

I've just learnt a very valuable lesson.
Never come on General at this particular time on a Sunday... look at all those boring threads! I think I shall turn into an infinite number of chocolate cookies now.

*salutes the wall*

And the fact that there's a lot of gravedigging going on isn't helping matters any either.

Goddamn--when was the last purge? I just realized that I lost about 800 posts!

Holy shit critters! You're right! I've lost numerous posts! At ths rate I won't even make 4000 let alone 5000!

Woe be to me!

I was so proud of being over 7,000 too--I was headed for the top ten in post count.

I shudder to think how many posts i'd have if none of them had been deleted. I'd be well past you, methinks... damn those Last One to Post threads...

hrm...

That's partly why I'm surprised at the amount I've lost. Usually I don't lose more than a handful in the purges--this was a massive one for me.

*calls out*

Monkey.... oh Monkey....

I've been spamming your TG again...

I've lost about 300 posts :?

I just went to www.nationstates.net and the page appeared!! I logged in, and then then clicked on the telegrams, and the navigation bit on the left turned into that msg I usually get (I still could read your latest telegram though viper :wink:). Then I refreshed, and the whole thing turned into that msg :( now I can't login again. I think it was because I never clicked the log out thing when I was away, and it got confused for a second or something.

And the fact that there's a lot of gravedigging going on isn't helping matters any either.

I don't think bumping Polls should count as gravedigging - theres always somebody who hasn't voted. Polls have a lasting value that differs from other older threads somewhat.

I hope you will find strength to continue despite evil depredations of the mods. Because the bigger is your post count, the longer is ...whatever it is you're growing. Amen.

Polls have a lasting value that differs from other older threads somewhat.All I'm saying is that if you're going to bump a thread that's been off the front page for days, then do it with something more interesting than "bump." Try to restart the conversation or something.

So if you make a post with no content (BUMP) it doesn't count and weeks later mods subtract them from your post count?

So if you make a post with no content (BUMP) it doesn't count and weeks later mods subtract them from your post count?It counts as long as the thread exists in the server, as far as I understand the system. But the system gets clogged up and so they purge it occasionally, and the first thing to go are the spam threads--usually. Who knows what went this time, because I'm not usually in the spam threads, and I got hammered.

oh, so when they delete useless threads the posts you make get subtracted from your count. right?

I was nearly at 11,000 posts! :cry:

Seems like it, and I fell very hard indeed.

Does anyone remember getting the message

"You cannot make a post so soon after your last post"

Yes. I've got it a couple of times.

Yes. I've got it a couple of times.Me too--but not in an awful llong time. Way back in the days when I was fighting with Marathon.

Wow, that was a long time ago. Like probably nearly a year.

I used to get it all the time.

I was wondering whether they got rid of that feature...

Wow, that was a long time ago. Like probably nearly a year.At least. Man, when I think back to some of the flaming that used to go on back then, I'm amazed I was never deated, or even seriously warned. There were some hardcore flamers back in the day. Remember Annelida? and The Palestinian Empire? I mean, Marathon was an irritant, but he didn't really have any style. Some of the old folks, though--damn.

The Palestinian Empire! All he'd ever talk about was the suffering of the Palestinian people! :D

I just tried doing an author search for all three of them and got nothing. I guess they're clearing out the old archives, unless they automatically delete everything you've ever written when they deat you.

Sometimes they do..

I think there is a button to delete all you nations/posts...

I think they automatically clear everything. It's part of the 'function'.

Alas--Annelida certainly had a gift for being insulting. It was artful, almost. It generally involved impossible and uncomfortable actions with the genitalia.

I'm not surprised that Annelida ended up as a deat! :lol:

memories...

I can remember having a thread called 'How Shit is Dragons Bay?' and nothing happening to me, not even a warning.
I can't say I still feel the same way about him, but it was nice to be able to vent back then.

It even had a poll!

I'd like to see you try to do that now that nazi's have possessed the mods usernames and killed everyone of interest... You'd live as long as a fart.

i certainly remember it. :lol: the one and only time i was vagrantly flamed! hahahahahahahahahaha. :lol:

Yeah, I apologise for that DB, you were quite a loud mouthed Christian then though, as opposed to your polite oneness these days.

I'd like to make a similar thread for a few people here at the moment...
