New users: Please read! Post count requirement Q and A

Aha! I think I figured some of it out. I'm sooooo old (to the forums), that I recalled ARC might have been using Reefcentral for it's forums at one point. Sure enough, I'm http://archive.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=86802&highlight=reefboi">finding</a> [IMG]http://archive.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=101257&highlight=reefboi">posts</a> in the archives over there, 58 post count minimally. I know I was participating on the forums throughout that transition to what was probably one of the first iterations of these current forums. I think the president at the time might have been hosting them on his bellsouth account or something way back then.

I'm thinking somewhere in there, my posts and such were probably just lost throughout the years and changes. I just tried to hit the internet archive, apparently there was a robots file that kept it from being crawled. Oh well, it'll take me forever to get to 30 without padding... Guess I'll find somewhere else to offload this stuff. :sad:

I'm guessing there's been forum changes (upgrades?). All of my other old posts are gone. I know I've been a member of the forums for at least 8 years or more. I've been in some of the best flame wars from way back when (being flamed). My build threads are gone, one of which matched my biggest system (a 125gal) which I sold on here, that thread is still [IMG]http://www.atlantareefclub.org/forums/showpost.php?p=3112&postcount=1">here</a>!

We don't delete any threads, except in the cases of spam. Even very offensive threads are "soft" deleted, so that they still exist on the system. We have (and have always had) a strict policy about not deleting or editing things in the past. Your post count shouldn't have changed either. These are things we simply don't mess with.

Are you thinking of the [IMG]http://www.thereeftank.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=53">TRT forums</a>? We switched over from TRT around 5 years ago...
 
Avatars only show up for forum users who are also paid club members. It's one of the perks of membership. Also, ARC memberships allow posting in all forums no matter the post count. Yet another perk. :)
