It really seems like posts are the focus these days

I barely write comments, but after posting a few articles (one of which I tried to make over 400 characters long), my rank just went up? It really is all about posts these days... and having to make them as long as possible. I feel a bit annoyed, but what can you do? I guess I'll have to look up ways to write longer posts. But seriously, I was writing this post in the board section, got kicked out due to maintenance, and after maintenance, I did something else for a bit before coming back to post it again. After maintenance ended, the post I was writing and the board itself had disappeared. I think I wrote something similar to what I intended to post. It might not be exactly the same... but I should have copied it before posting, but because of the maintenance... and the board being deleted... I only joined the boards about 3 days ago, I didn't expect something like this to happen so soon. I didn't expect the boards to disappear collectively... some of the ones I joined were deleted. Even places that were operating like a general discussion board disappeared... it's such a shame.
