Millionth post?

[Geoffrey S]

My url bar just showed https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?p=1000001#post1000001 after my most recent post. Does this mean there have been over a million posts at the .org, and if so who got it?

Just change the values to 1000000 and find out. Like this.

Edit: It means that the forum software has indexed 1,000,000 posts, including posts that have been deleted (it doesn't recycle numbers). The site reports that there are almost 800,000 of those posts online and accessible right now.

I think, though, that the Org reached the million posts mark a while ago; plenty of posts have had to be trimmed from the site over the years. I think that the site was even shut down once or twice when it got too large and was seriously pruned on a few occasions. The Library forums have some threads that were saved from the chop. IIRC, the Backroom was the last forum to be given a pruning, which is why it only goes back a year or so. Although that was after the move to the current software, so those posts would have been indexed.

Okay, thanks for explaining the system. It just struck me as interesting to know if the site had had its millionth post, but that was probably before my time.

Truthfully, though. Could anyone with the inside knowledge of the forum software speculate the time that this forum might need trimming again? How far could the software handle?
