I didn't realize there was a 'hall of fame' for archived postcounts. It's awesome that you guys are so quick to respond and explain this all to the newbie (me)
If the consensus is that we should use postcounts from the day the new board started, that's fine. It can easily be done.
But either way, there was a serious issue going on with postcounts and it is a lot easier to run a proper count on the entire database, than to edit each account manually to fix them. ;)
