For the moment, some of the admins and mods are doing a small pruning of the forum to remove old topics that are no longer of value (like links to old and inaccessible eBay auctions), to make the database (and the attachments file) a bit smaller. We've had more than 8000 posts in the last three months, and please keep them coming, but to keep things a bit manageable, we thought it better to get rid of those old posts that had little or no value (many other ones will keep existing!).
This may have as a result that your post count goes down, or that you notice that the total numbers of posts on the forum or on a subject has gone down.
Just so you know what is happening...
