Post count

[-:Undertaker:-]

Is it me or have post counts suddenly all decreased? Why is this?

[LiquidLuck.]

Yes, Matt posted an announcement about this, he will be fixing it soon.

Oh I see, didn't think to look in announcements just had a peep around in Feedback and saw nothing. :P

[Kyle]

chippiewill was deleted by recursions crazy gf and then they had to give his account back, probably something to do with that.

[LiquidLuck.]

Lol np. Also there is a post about it in spam.

[Kardan]

I'd like to know what exactly happened, since it's had a bigger impact on some people and not so much on others... I lost just over 1,000, but Jesus had maybe about 22,000 and has gone down to about 15,000? Maybe some part of the forum had post count disabled?

[wixard]

posting to see what I'm on

wtf I feel like I've gained posts I don't remember having 3k

stop being rude! ill get sub to hit you

o/t lost none i dont think

[Mr-Trainor]

I lost a little under 1,000. What actually happened anyway? The announcement doesn't say much :P. Is it that posts/threads have been deleted or moved, or what :S.

[scottish]

No idea, recursion probably ******* about as per

[Yawn]

let me see

[GommeInc]

Is the problem still around? I don't remember my post count anyway but 22,000 seems about normal.

What caused it? It seems weird to not tell people. Secretive for the sake of it if anything :P

[xxMATTGxx]

It was a mistake by me but it wouldn't have happened if a certain person didn't do a certain thing that most of you know about.

[wixard]

so whats going to happen about that

im assuming some sort of action is gonna be taken

[Kyle]

dont worry matt at least u didnt delete the forum

[Kardan]

Recursion's girlfriend is no longer Habbox Staff. We thank her for her time.

[xxMATTGxx]

I'm not that stupid and knowing Jin he probably has my address and I would be kidnapped during the night or some crazy stuff like that.

Tomorrow is a possibility - Tom needs to get the database from one of the backups but we ran into some trouble as the user table was missing the first time round.

[scottish]

so what did you do

screw with the database?

fire recursion

[Chippiewill]

I'd like to re-raise the issue of it being completely ridiculous that we only have two people able to access the server or the backups and neither of them are ever around it seems.

Although its better when it was only Jin that had access....

So what -actually- happened? Matt accidentally deleted something or Recursion? Don't really get it.

Recursion let his gf deleted Chippiewills account

This resulted in MattG screwing with the database to give chippiewill his member data (post counts etc) back from what I'm aware then obviously ****** something up

I don't think so - I would say it's quite rare to happen at Habbox.

[Jack!]

I don't think so - I would say it's quite rare to happen at Habbox.

Well.. let me rephrase.

When it -does- happen, it's usually in some way connected to recursion, from what I've seen anyway.

Just my 2c though.

[GommeInc]

Does deleting a profile usually do this much damage? That's pretty impressive she knew how to do it, although why it has caused so many problems is confusing.

[scottish]

no because accounts aren't typically deleted then put back in.

[GommeInc]

no because accounts aren't typically deleted then put back in.
So it was a proper database delete, as in going straight into it rather than through an admin panel (if vBulletin has that)? That's pretty serious... So all posts associated with the account were removed, too?

[Chippiewill]

I think Recursion showed her the button and let her press it. It was done in the standard vBulletin way. The problem occurred as a result of Matt trying to fix my post-count.

[Inseriousity.]

lol so how does it work then?
like id have just thought youd go to someone's account in admin cp and change the number and that's that, job done but then I see no way you could make a mistake from that that causes everyone's post to go down so it must be a different method.

xxMATTGxx; do you happen to know why boonzeet was deleted? did he request it?

[xxMATTGxx]

Who?

[Chippiewill]

BOONZEET

[xxMATTGxx]

I've had a look and have no information on what happened to their account. We also don't delete accounts upon request either to my knowledge. Unless it was done by Jin then I am not too sure, I would have to ask him when he is back from his holiday to see if he remembers at all.

The only time I remember we officially deleting an account with a real reason is when requested to do so by the UK Police.

[Chippiewill]

posts to see how much mine has decreased

i dont remember but i think like 800 or so

[The Don]

Well my first account was deleted as well, so accounts being deleted can't be that rare.

[GoldenMerc]

Didn't Moh get deleted? HabbCrazy owner?

Barkseh / Paul got deleted also (Once he got fired as FM?)

Recursion done this, and then he boosted his gf's acc with posts and rep, But either way he must be very essential to Habbox if they let all this happen.

[xxMATTGxx]

It's rare in the more recent years. I can't really speak what has happened in the past before I was in this role so accounts being deleted back then could have been a thing. I know in the past some accounts looked like they got deleted during database problems. I think Mr-Trainor or Pigperson was once affected by that.

[Kardan]

What's his girlfriend's account?

[GoldenMerc]

Dno but recursion is actually temp banned atm;

What he was probably trying to do was fix the posts on the actual forum, when a user gets deleted it messes up the database post count etc and also we don't want all of chippies posts being under 'guest'.

Seeming as no-one answered you.

It doesn't 'mess up the database post count etc', if you delete an account that's what it's going to do, the posts will remain under 'ChippieWill (Guest)'

Only if he tries to fix them it'll mess up.

It's easy to fix but obviously he's done something seriously ****** up..

[GoldenMerc]

Shouldn't really of happened in the first place though, Recursion shouldn't be deleting users here and there because he feels he can

[xxMATTGxx]

I haven't ran any queries that has messed up the database. I ran one of the update counters in vBulletin by mistake which then caused all of your post counts to reduce. Obviously this wouldn't have happened if nothing went wrong with Chippiewills account in the first place.

It was a honest mistake on my half on the update counters part.

[FlyingJesus]

Matt's a communist he took posts from all of us to give to Chippiewill

[scottish]

So how are you going to sort it? If you reinstate an old backup (for post counts table/section) then it's not going to count posts made in the past few days without updating counters again?

Unless someone screwed something up that resulted in the post counts being lowered before updating counters?

idk you tell me

You can run a query to sort that out.

[LiquidLuck.]

Did anyone lose a lot more than 100 posts? Because from what I've read that's basically the amount we have lost.

Do 100 posts really matter?

I gave Matt a MySQL query that should add the posts from the past few days onto it.

[Chris]

To be honest I don't even know what my post count was before so I'm not entirely fussed. Its a pain for you guys with high post counts but hopefully Matt or Jin will get it sorted soon :p

did posts actually get deleted or is it just a problem with post count displaying?
surely can be edited manually for all who are bothered

[Chippiewill]

Matt triggered a post recount in the VB control panel. For a variety of reasons certain posts over the years have been pruned or deleted. In addition some forums will have had post count disabled after a period of being enabled which unlike moving threads did not remove post counts (Notably the forum games forum which I think accounts for most of my drop in posts). As a result the post count of most people went down.

[Kardan]

I'm trying to think where I lost my thousand or so... Maybe seasonal forums?

In a way, this just shows the 'proper' post count I suppose, after rule changes over the years has adjusted our post count.

Can you seriously change your god damn avatars. When someone gives me access to a backup closer to the time we the update counter was ran. In the mean time we have used the testforum database to give you some of the posts back for the mean time. The testforum is based of a March 2014 backup.

[scottish]

just give everyone with over 5k posts 1k posts and sorted.

[buttons]

Test :nrbearrugset:
oh god I went up like 500osts plz no more wahh

[Kardan]

I had 16,640 posts on the 21st of April (checked my working for the 'Does post count mean anything for you' thread, and I had literally a handful more than FJ I think).

Just checked Gomme's and FJ's though, and they seem to have increased a reasonable amount than my figures since then, so their post counts seem fine. Maybe it's something to do with certain forums not being counted?
