Where did my posts go????
I could have sworn I was well on my way to becoming a Super dooper felooper Nomad in about a hundred posts or so. If I'm not mistaken, I was up
around 860 or so. I just looked as I posted a message, and now I seem to have deflated to only 608. It is my life's goal to become a super dooper
felooper Nomad. Que paso con mis numeros!!!
On the serious side, I do like the idea that everything I write here gets archived and I can refer back to it, and it seems like a lot of posts are
now missing. Any idea how that could have happened? -Stephanie

I think it's based on relevance. I am asking for an audit on my postings since the # should probably read in the single digits.

Is it possible that many of your posts disappeared when other people's threads were deleted and your contributing replies were deleted along with
them? I'm sure that I have lost several posts when Skeet was deleting so many of his own threads. Also, the Off-Topic forum is temporarily archived -
all threads automatically get deleted after awhile. If it is really that important to you, maybe you can save all of your posts onto floppy disk, and
you can repost them as they are deleted. I saw Mike H. do that when he was fighting with JR. Mike deleted his own thread after JR tried to minimize
Mike's condescending assertion by replying with a picture of a huge eyeball; Mike deleted the whole thread and reposted his original thread-starting
post. (Pretty smart really.)
What it all seems to come down to is if you want to be the super-duperest, you gotta stay away from the Off-Top.

I really felt bad for AA because he almost caught up with me in # of posts...!
The Off Topic forum got a major trim job, whereas the Baja forums did not (have not yet) been trimmed.
Every Nomad who posts on the Off Topic forum lost points. The key here is to remember this is a Baja California discussion site and the more Baja you
discuss, the higher will be your score.
The Off Topic forum was designed to keep the Baja boards free of the kind of stuff that messed up Amigos and got edited off Fred's, and probably would
never be seen on Baja.net, Baja.com, or BajaForums.com.
It's hard to restrain one's political urges, but remember, BAJA is why we are at the web site. When we have our group campouts, politics are not
primary discussion items. That's because in the overall picture, they just aren't important (there).

David K is right, so I wouldn't count my chickens too early and get that Bajanomad Super-poster tattoo just yet.

I truthfully don't give a hoot about POINTS,
(although it's pretty obvious you do, David), but I sure would have appreciated a little bit of advanced notice before a year or so of my posts flew
into the ether. Life goes on. Guess I'll archive what's left, or maybe just forget the whole thing......
Maybe you don't think that what I have to say is as important as what you have to say, David, but we'll just let that be your opinion.
This site could serve as not only a place of interest having to do with Baja, but a time capsule of what Americans were thinking about the world
around them. But I don't guess that's a view shared by administration at this point. Bummer.
But anyway, I sure would appreciate the courtesy of advanced notice before the next major culling takes place, for whatever that's worth.- Stephanie

Gee Whizz...and all this time I thought 'Baja Nomad' was a such a fun place to exchange thoughts about Baja California...I never thought it was a
place to 'archive' poster's brilliant endeavors!
Any discussion board I've ever visited, are usually maintained at the whim of the Board's originator - it's his 'football', and I accept this. If I
find a particular post, thread or contribution I find worth keeping - I save it myself. I don't expect the moderator/originator to do my 'saving' for
me!
I guess you can tell I'm really chocked up about losing all those 'Off-Topic' threads...mine included!
According to my clock...anytime is \'BAJA TIME\' & as Jimmy Buffett says,
\"It doesn\'t use numbers or moving hands It always just says now...\"

Right you are Mexray!
The good of this web site must come ahead of any political stuff.
Steph, try not to wonder what I think (points), as you are wrong. Your story about being attacked by the mama sealion was the best thing you ever
wrote as it was about a real life experience, and in Baja... I.M.O., NOTHING on the off topic board is worth saving (not even my attempts to balance
the left with some logic or truth)! Peace!

Touche David
As wrong about things as you are, you still crack me up.
And this is true, this is a "Baja"message board. Steph., if you look back through your posts there are very few that are Baja related rather than
some ridiculous political agenda babble.
Can't you find a home for that guano rather than here. There's only about 3 or 4 of you who want to play that game. There must be a board that deals
with your interests.

Damn.
My apologies Stephanie. If I had given it more consideration, I certainly would've realized your desire to save some of it (duh!).
It had just been a while since I had pruned that forum - which I've done a few times before - and I went ahead and did it again. That's been the
whole idea along, and the reason the description for the forum says they're "time-limited" discussions.
If you still want to try and capture some/much of it, follow this link, and then use the "Cached" option for each:

Hope this helps, even if it's only slightly.

Are prizes handed out for the most postings, or say like, every 100 posts or so you get a little prize?
I would probably get the booby prize.

You are currently posting at a rate of over 10 posts per day.
That is a factor of nine times the person with the greatest number of posts.
