Is there a hidden OT post count database somewhere?
Even though OT posts aren't coutned in post counts, is there some means of seeing just how much ppo post to OT?

Search the persons username, and include OT-Archive & Off-Topic. Add 'em up.
Though some threads aren't indexed, it'll do.

My understanding of the situation was that yes, post counts including the OT figures could magically "reappear" on the click of a button... so go on Ming.

You should also account for (possible) name changes

I hadn't thought of that. But I'm not going to do it again.

Doesn't affect it. All your posts under previous names - but the same login ID - will have the name next to them changed to "alva" and will show up on a "Search By Poster" search.
The best way to get an OT count is to search for all posts from the user's profile. Then subtract postcount (On-topic posts)
