This may be an odd question, but I think my post count has shrunk. I could have sworn that I was near 480 total posts, and then, today, I am near 440 total posts.
Do posts disappear from MTGS over time, thus lowering a user's overall post count?
Edit: I posted my 439th (by the new count) post earlier today, yet, this post is now the 439th post. What is going on?
Posts don't disappear unless they're deleted. If a thread is deleted, or moved to a sub where posts don't count, your post count will go down to reflect that.
I don't think posts in the community issues portion of the forums will add to your post count if I recall correctly, will see if this post raises mine, will edit the post with the answer when done for verification.
EDIT: Confirmed, my post count did not go up by posting here, I believe my post to be correct then, for at least part of your issue. As for the rest, I don't know.
Correct, there are sections of the sites (Rumor Mill Baseless Speculation, here, Quick Reply Games and others) where posts don't count. So, hypothetically, you could have made 40 posts to thread in the Rumor Mill, only for me to move that thread to Baseless Speculation. This is what most likely happened. More unlikely, an entire thread you posted to was deleted. We like to avoid that since it most threads are useful even if old.

Strange, I don't post in the Rumor Mill, I very rarely post here, never in Quick Reply Games. The issue is that I could have sworn that I saw my post count near 480 total posts, and now its 440 total posts.
I went through your posts and don't see anything in the last few months that would indicate that any of your posts have been deleted. Everything you've ever posted is still there.
You have a retired trading thread with a bunch of posts that got retired months ago and that might be part of it, but that was months ago.
Jace SHOULD be unbanned in modern. I hate all the people saying "JACE IS BROKEN OHMYGOD HE'LL TAKE OVER AND CAWBLADE WILL REIGN SUPREME AGAIN" when bloodbraid elf literally comes down after jace and kicks jace right in the crotch, takes jace's lunch money, and jace is left to bleed out on the sidewalk in agonizing pain.

As to what precisely happened to your posts

Does anyone know for sure what happened?
