One of those threads recently has been the GoGuides saga, I have noticed that posts to that thread have not counted - note a number of people on zero posts.
I see from your profile you have contributed to that thread, so I assume those will not count. Other threads could be similar, have a check yourself!
But don't worry. Post count is not really important. I ought to know. I am one of those members who very seldom write posts with more than ten lines.
There are other members who have written many long posts and often invested much time in research. This difference does not show in the post count.

your post count is not important - however your posts are important.
Questions are important for the community. If you ask an elementary question that I asked last year I may have an opportunity to test my knowledge by answering you. That's one of the most important ways for members to develop their competences.
If you're ignorant it is better consciously to admit your ignorance by asking questions than to show it unconsciously by making stupid statements.
I don't want to come too much off topic, but only a few hours ago I read in a thread in Usenet about a certain action to be "impossible", while I personally know this action to be not only possible, but easy. A piece of academic theorizing that doesn't stand the test of real life. Such statements generally have small chances here at WebmasterWorld. There will almost always be someone who shoots them down.
Tried that with me.

That would mean less than 50 posts in Local. This is not possible, I'm certain that I have lots more.
Now just tried:
Sinner_G forum9 "joined-June 27, 2002" site:webmasterworld.com
for the Foo forum, get 278 results. So what's wrong?
I don't want to know anymore!
My conclusion is that i can kind of understand the not having certain threads count-- on another forum I have a ludicrously high post count (not that I mind) because I've been participating in a very, very, very long silly thread in the chat section. Now, that does indicate that I'm involved in the community-- it's a very involved thread and most of those participating in it are hardcore forum members. But, that doesn't mean I've distributed nearly a thousand nuggets of wisdom throughout the forum. So...
I kind of see the point, and kind of feel sad that I have no way of reliably knowing how many posts I've made here!
:D
On the other hand, i may well be better off not knowing.
I didn't even really look at it until I was on about 800 odd, and then I couldn't believe I had posted that amount. In fact, I still don't believe it. It's seriously rigged.
It's all conspiracy designed to drive you to paranoia and paying the subscription fee in order to avoid embarassment.
I'm holding out, but I don't think I can carry on much longer!
