A few things, Forum post count was reset, not a big deal. Also there is a thread that is 93 pages but when i try to go to that thread I can only go up to page 70, then i have to navigate to page 93. Seems like that shouldn't be the case since it was working fine yesterday. Ok Thanks.

Hi Jamie, We'll look into the topic issue showing page 70 as the max. With the introduction of the new forums, each user now has 2 primary ratings for the site: game rating and forum rating. The game rating is based on how a user performs in our games and the forum rating is their performance in the forums. In order to have the forum rating be meaningful, everyone's post count was reset. If we didn't do this, some of our most obnoxious users would be rated very highly and that's not what we wanted. The new forum rating system is based on # of posts, posts rated well, posts rated poorly, users blocking, users marking favorite, etc. If we left forum count what it was, it would be confusing to many as the count could contradict the forum rating. Hope that makes sense. If you're a valuable forum contributor, your forum rating will rise quickly. We want good forum users to stand out from those that simply make a ton of posts.

"you're a long time user who for the past 7-8 years has worked to build things up, too bad, screw you."

"Worked to build things up?"

You posted a bunch on an internet message board.

You gave me douche chills.

I don't really give a **** what my forum post count is, nor do I care if some douchebag has a high forum rating.  I just wanted to get my answer to why I have to go through page 71 to get to page 94.
