:help:

I hope it is not that I'm losing my mind or anything, but earlier today I noticed that I had made it over 500 posts because my avatar change to a 2 bedroom. But now it is down to 3XX and a 1BR.

Not that I care about the numbers, but why did this change and drop back like that?

Hi --

Sorry about that. Earlier today, I made some changes to, and deleted threads from, the Welcome Forum. It has not been terribly active lately (only 3 or 4 replies to each thread), and it seemed best to discontinue the automated welcome threads. Because I didn't want any new members feeling *unwelcome* by the lack of a personal welcome thread for them, I deleted *all* of the welcome threads. This may have resulted in some changes to people's post counts (since deleted posts don't count toward the post count). Sorry about the lack of notice. :(

I liked the automated welcome threads. I didn't post a welcome in them. But it was nice to see each new member welcomed. Felt like someone actually cared that they were here.

LOL! Of course, you're so... shy and uninvolved... that I don't think you'll ever manage to make it to a GV!! :D :hahahaha: :solikeiwa

I thought those welcome threads were really neat, even when I figured out they were automated.....but if they bog the boards down, they need to go......

I think that is what she likes to CALL you.......BooBoo. :hehehehe:

The problem is if we don't get enough replies, they looked kind of unwelcoming. I loved them too and tried to keep up, and I know others did too, but lately it's been hard to do. If we don't have enough people that keep up with them, it looks kind of pitiful.

On the bright side, it's so hard to keep up because we keep getting so many new members!!!! :cheerlead

No problem! Thanks for the explanation, though.

:hahahaha: I didn't realize how many "welcomes" I gave until I saw how far my post count dropped. Now I'm going to start posting more meaningful stuff to earn that GV!

Ouchies! :scary:

Okay, in honor of Gail and mssparrow, who seem to feel badly about their "reduced" status, I have set my post number to zero.

This is my first official post!! Cool!! :D :thumbsup:

For Kim, seeing as I won't be using my standard welcome any more:

Welcome Home!!!

Dive in and enjoy your time here! :bouncingm

Can I just say how happy it made me this morning to come here and laugh at all your responses!!! I love the people here! :jumpingbe

BTW - If you don't want to post meaningful stuff, you can all just hop in the Nothing Thread. :D

Hmmm, I kinda wondered why my post count seemed a little off...Not much, but I thought I was a lot closer to a GV than I am.

See I thought I did something wrong. I did eventually figure it out, of course after I posted asking what had happened :dunce:

Oh well.
