Is their something I can access that B.J. cant? I would think a higher rank would have more access.
 
I'm currently seeing 4,988,510 posts with 23,530 board members.

And Australis is right. I made the mistake of joining TNZ and now I'm corrupted and a wretched husk of a man. A handsome, sexy and wretched husk of a man.
 
I'm aiming to get the 5,000,000th post in "The 5,000,000th Post" thread. Who's with me?
 
Ok, can I ask, those with lower numbers, where are you getting this from exactly ? There are 2 spots it's available - upper right, and bottom of index. I just noticed that the two are giving different results. Oh, Antony......
 
^That does appear to be where the discrepancy exists...interesting! I have been referencing the stats box on the top right of every page, which says that there are 4,988,796 posts.
 
This is what I see:

We've gotten a new member in the past few hours.

And yet another soul is claimed by the treacherous seas and craggy hills of Pedantium.

5,000,000 Posts. In Canada it would take 5,208,000 to reach the same milestone. Oh, those message board exchange rates.
 
It's so close.

400 posts in 4.5 hours. I say we'll reach it on Saturday.

Doh! I've been reading the numbers at bottom. Never even noticed the ones top right. So do we know which ones are more accurate? Sounds like consensus is to use top right numbers.

This thread was begun three weeks ago on the 4th of October and in that time the board has added roughly 50,000 posts in all forums. That's about 50,000 in twenty-one days and we're still about 10,000 away from the milestone, so at the current rate we'll probably hit 5 million in about, oh, four days.
 
9,872 to go. We need a big ball to drop when it happens.

Not that kind. Come on. Let's be adults here.

Now, help me get into the celebratory green bunny suit.

Weird. What's one reading that the other isn't?
 
We'll be able to tell our grandchildren and great-granchildren where we were the day the Trek BBS hit the 5,000,000-post mark. And our grandchildren and great-grandchildren will then pat us on our heads, go "cool story" and distract us with something shiny while they sneak out of the room.
