I think the most significant bit experienced a data error in my post count. Somehow I ended up with binary number
1-10111111 (-8,383) instead of
0-10111111 (8,383)
This might be a technical error, or an error of another type.

I'd lean towards what StrikeEagle said.
I mean post count total shouldn't matter.
Right?

That's not even CLOSE to how signed numbers work on a computer, just an FYI</div>
I dunno. I work with extremly low level digital electronics alot. Alot of technical problems deal with a intermittant fault in a transisor causing a bit to be set. the +/- signing bit is usually a MSB

FYI, we can change your post count to any number or add negatives, and MAYBE even decimals. So, it could of been an Admin or Supermod that is playing a joke on you sir.
