No. I want more facts. Maybe I'll sign in over at bl and ask them their version just so we have several interpretations.
Actually that would probably be silly. Why should I believe them?

Why don't you PM Zoe, since she was a Mod there at the time, and quit in disgust at how things were handled?

No that wouldn't work. I have never met her in person so it would just be cyber chatter.

Are you at 20,000 posts yet? I can't tell since the post counters are missing. I presume they were taken down to stop Nat and Deena from doing their post count war. Not that I think that will work. But how will we know, now, when you cross that historical 20,000 post threshold? You absolutely must count them all every day and update us.

Heh, she got to 19970 then hardly posted(by her standards) for 2-3 weeks...she crossed 20K weeks ago.

Yes, the counters are gone. One can only hazard a guess such as yours as to the why.

Prolly like a y2k thingie: Marcella broke the freakin counter LOL.

An absolutely unfounded allegation on both points. Why I am surprised you would engage in such tactics as a member of the bar. I was admitted to a bar too once upon a time but the owner regretted it when he had to call a cab to take me home.

So the truth is that there was no war because Marcella always posted at a far more elevated pace. The removal of the counter probably happened because when Marcella crossed the 20K threshold the counter read 00001 and not 20001. The counter just couldn't handle the transition from 19,999 to 20,000 because it was programmed in binary logic for it's most significant digit if you get the drift.

Both points? Are there two points? What are they?

Oh come on Glinda! Point one was that a war was going on and point 2 was that the counter was removed to stop the war. As I said - wrong on both points.

I would venture to say that the post counter was dynamic and calculating each poster's post count was computationally expensive and significantly slowed down page loading.
