..seem to go down as well as up - eg. DavidJames hitting 10,000 and then going down again. I have a suspicion (but can't prove it) that I've seen others' post counts go down too.
Meanwhile, forumite Grace has apparently made 4,294,967,295 posts. Which is rather a lot.
Is something wrong with the post counting?

it looks like all the threads that ended up outside have been deleted recently... would explain why some saw their post count decrease
Looks like Grace is back down to zero posts again.

People's post count get automatically adjusted when messages or threads are deleted. Sometimes a change in the configuration of the forum system can also cause a post count to change.
The 4 billion thing is what happens when something goes wrong in the adjustment and the post count goes below zero. In cases like this either the administrator can manually change a person's post count (which is usually what caused the negative score in he first place), or can force a recount of everybody's post counts, which should correct all anomalies.
