New prediction of post number to be the One-Millionth!
Today (July 14, 2010) at 10:57 AM EST
MobileRead Forums Statistics Threads: 82,951, Posts: 997,461, Members: 73,084 yields this Post in the Forum Spy https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...php?p=1008263#post1008263 so the "offset" is now: 1008263 - 997461 = 10802 This is just weird!!!! So, the One-Millionth post will now be post1010802 (i.e 1000000 + 10802) |

And using the Mobileread.com method to do math surely complicates it even more i.e why isn't the Millionth Post just post1000000 and why does it change from post1010775 to post1010820...
because are we doing math the Mobileread.com way. |

You get a point of post count if you report a thread I believe.
Does that add into the mix somehow? |

It's so much fun - like trying to count drops in a sea Which reminds me - the blue one netx to the fish must have a reliable method for doing this! It's just (MR)logical.

So now there's a way to see how many posts are made in these "unattainable" (invisible) forums... |

Moderators tend to skew things a lot...

For those wondering about fuzzy math:
If a thread is removed from a forum (for whatever reason, be it TOS violations or an out-of-control flame war), the database keeping track of post indices is unlikely to go back and retroactively re-number every post that came after the offending sequence. Usually the forum counter just keeps going, and the change is only reflected in the number of visible posts... so although the old post IDs remain in place, the actual number of posts accessible is lower than the numbering system would lead one to believe. - M. |

Can one of the GGH (Great Green Hats) provide the exact number of the posts in their section to a current moment? That would clarify some things
