Forum Statistics?

At the very bottom of the Forum page, you can click to see the top posters and the Forum Statistics. Look at the total number of posts, its about 550,321 last time I looked before I posted this. There are more posts than that I know, but the funny thing is it never goes above 550, 350....Is there a limit or something? One day it's 550,250 or so, the next it's 550,350, and then its down again. What's up with that?

Well, it is 550,315 right now (316 when I am done).  I had never noticed this before, but now that you have piqued my curiousity... it will give me something else to obsess over!!  Thanks ALOT Ben

LOL. Just watch and see what I mean...

Ben,

For cryin' out loud, I'm watchin'...  I've done nothin' else but watch since I read your original post!  I told you, I'm obsessed, already!!

550,334 as of now. This is obsessive! Watch....It'll start going down soon...

It is 1406 (2:06 pm for you civilians...) on 31 October 2007 and the forum count is 550,295...  What the ?!  Someone needs to get to the bottom of this!  39 posts have gone missing since last night!  Call out the Feds!

Seeeeeeee?

I knew something was wrong. The post count would be a lot higher by now if it was fixed...You start noticing those kind of things when you sit on the forums all day with nothing to do...

2216 (10:16 pm) 31 October.

The count is 550,496.

Why am I not in bed?....

You know, Ben, if nothing else this will be a good way for us to jack up our total number of posts in the FSM forums and maybe move up our post rank a little bit...  By the way, what is a post rank?  I saw that you were 128?  I have no idea what I am...

My post rank is 0....  Why is my post rank 0?...  What have I done?  I've done nothing wrong...  Why can't I have a post rank?  Why?  Whyyyyyyyy?!!!!  WHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYyyyyyyyyy????

It's really simple...there is a set time frame to delete inactive posts.  When they have exceeded that time they are auto deleted.

Ah, man... why did you have to come along and inject some logic into this...

Just kidding - don't take that seriously...  OK, well, what about post rank?  What do you know about that smarty pants...

Back down to 386. Nevermind what I said about it being fixed...
