I know that questions can be kind of specific so if I am in the wrong place, please feel free to bump me to the appropriate forum topic. My question is, when I was cruising through my profile and looking at my contributions, I clicked on Forum and it said that i have no forum posts. I know this to not be true because I post all the time on gamespots forum. So much that I have been suspended twice for the inclusion of topics and or sentences that violated the terms and use aggreement. I obviously didn't do this on purpose becasue I love this site but I was wondering why non of my stats are being displayed for this section?

The post above is showing in your contributions, as would be expected. Your moderations are from GameFAQs, which means they were on the shared game-specific boards. Posts that are moderated are almost always deleted, and other posts on GameFAQs that aren't moderated will disappear from your contributions when the topics the posts are in are archived on GameFAQs. If you do all your posting on GameFAQs, then most likely your "contributions" have basically all just been archived. Also, if you do all your posting on GameFAQs, then you really should do yourself a favor and log in directly to GameFAQs and use their forums that way exclusively. You don't have to, but that's what I recommend to anyone who wants to use the GameFAQs forums.

Thanks for the answer. I understand that the boreds are modded by GameFaqs, yet I didn't think I was using those boreds. The process that leads me to game discussion is, I click on the game, and there is tab toward the top that says discuss game (which I guess now is located on the left table between hints and cheats and offical game channel). There isn't any Game Faq representation and if not for the 12 point font sentence at the bottom that says "Forum provided Courtesy of GameFaqs", I would have never suspected. I appreciate the advice and I will give it a shot, but whats the point of having forums on gamespot then?

Not trying to sound like a smart ass, or condisending... I am really just curiouse, but thanks again for the answer. I figured that it would only keep track of current postings.

One more thing, is there a place that keeps track of how many posts you created? I have looked around and not spied anything but its not been a big enough deal to start a whole thread about.

Thanks again!

Your question is a fair one, but experience suggests that users have to find the answers themselves to really be convinced. As for the number of posts you've created... The simple answer is to look to the left of your posts here. The number shown there includes posts in GS forums, unions, and UCBs, posts in GF forums using the GS interface, and comments on news items and the like. Your posting history won't have all those things in it.

Thats awesome!!! I know that didn't used to be there!! haha or i could be going crazy, it must have been added during the remodeling!!! The site looks nice by the way and I have checked out GameFaqs, and it has become more clear as to what you meant by your response
