Negatives to resetting post count for imported forums

[unbridled1]

Would I have to change anything?

Couldn't I reset everyone's post count from 2001 posts to 0? What other areas would that affect?

The reason that a few want the posts set back to 0 is that we have private forums for certain post counts. We effectively took a break from the forums for about a year and changed things up with the group. They would like a more "level playing field" starting the forums back up in 2013. Some with the higher post counts have moved on completely.

The forums themselves are completely private. So no guest access at all.
