I wonder if that's something the Mechanic can shed light on.
I'll have to email him about that.

Might be that as an Admin you can see the whole history while anyone else can only see the most recent 200.

Karl, when I look at your refs, I see from 2002 until today.. you just got one today, right?
2+2=5 for sufficiently large values of 2.

If you don't have your Location listed in your User Control Panel, why not take a second and update it? It will let your trading partners know where you are from the beginning.

I use the Unofficial Porkuslime Trading Guidelines - if you have way less refs.. you ship first.

Folks I am awaiting a ref from.. Zack

I guess you Mods have more access. And yes, I got one today. And I should get one from you tomorrow. :-D
And I will of course be adding one to your unbelievable total...

It's funny how things have changed and yet they have stayed the same. The board is completely different, but the traders haven't changed at all.

Well, I always could see my own... and for a long time, I've seen people going back as far as 1996.
So, it's possible (probable?) that I am/ we are just seeing the complete list because we're Admin, I know there are plenty of people who I always could see their ref's back to 1996... that, I realize that might be just because there aren't enough to hit the 200ish threashhold.
Now, I really want to get Rudi or Plarz to answer that one. It's got me curious.

No. Post counts and references were never wiped out.
When we switched from the scrolling boards to the phpbb, everyone had the date they started on the pnpbb board as their "start" date, but that's it.
In years past, we have had some issues where a couple days worth of posts were lost, due to issues with hosting services, but that's not the same as wiping them out.

As for links to those pics... I don't post it publicly any more, but it's still available to BT+ members in our super-special, ultra-secret, private forum.
