We're approaching the 6 million messages barrier

atm it says:

However, the board got pruned some time between 2003 and 2011 so that the actual figure is much higher

Yes, looking at your sequential post ID might better approximate the actual count. Your post, for example, has ID 11,529,278. I'm assuming the vBulletin conversion to Xenforo used old IDs in some way. If not, I guess there would be little correspondent meaning, but the 11 million figure on the sequential post ID counter has to come from somewhere..

^ vBulletin, for some odd reason, only used every third number for a post ID. I came across that bit of weird trivia back when we were anticipating the 5 millionth post. But it looks like Xenforo is fully sequential.

Just fifty posts to go!

According to my count there are still 50 messages left...... but with the time delay, who knows?
