This thread should have been locked up right away after this reply:
I did a recount of post counts earlier today. There are several bugs which cause the post count to drift from its real value over time. The current count is the accurate one.
I don't really understand the reason for the discussion to keep going on while the question asked in OP has been answered already.
@suzanne5223, kindly lock the thread now to prevent any more replies that are not needed at all.
In addition to the lock button, i would suggest using the delete button to erase some spammy answers by retards. The admin answered and they keep speculating!
