on a happier note: may your final third of December be full of joy and love and all that. The ensuing months too for that matter. :star:

I would say I have matured a bit. Hence my graduation from being all too active on here. It was difficult to convince the authorities, being #7 on the list of number of posts.

Have a happy, dark solstice in two days. I'll gain about five minutes of daylight during the final third. Inb4 sinewav wants to change the calendar. :)

The entire forum has 10005 threads at this time, or so it says. I don't know what's with the post and thread IDs being roughly twice the claimed numbers. It turns out we also just surpassed 2^13 members, almost coinciding with 10^4 threads. Are these numbers governed by surface tension or something?

phpBB might be counting private message conversations as topics.
There are hidden topics that we can't see (maybe, idk, but it's possible with phpBB)
And I'm pretty sure the counter doesn't reset (or go back one) when a thread gets deleted.

So while there may not be 10,000 threads available for you to read, the system has counted up to 10,000.

At the same time, im pretty impressed at my ability to manipulate with so few posts. At the same time, it makes me wonder if most his posts werent just crap.

I think that for a while phpBB was counting the internal topic number in steps of 5, which may explain the somewhat inflated topic number.
