you're not the only one that was surprised.
I knew I lost a few when the first (and second) max threads went bye-bye.
I was up to 27k-ish iirc when the recount happened. Figured it'd be up around low/mid 30s.
Didn't expect 40k+.
what was really funny (to me anyways) was all the threads about it were about people /losing/ post counts. Mine almost doubled.
