Re: Millionth post?
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.

When a fox kills your chickens, do you kill the pigs for seeing what happened? No you go out and hunt the fox.

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

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?
