100 thousandth thread

[arabianights]

We're probably only a few weeks away from the creation of the 100 thousandth thread. Any chance of a give-away for the poster?

What would you suggest ?

In my view there should be some exclusions such as not allowing a spam or advert thread to be included.

The other problem is that theads 99998, 99999, 100001, and 100002 will be useless chuff from people trying to get the prize.

[MrGecko]

How can you tell what number a thread is?

 

[Mr. Charts]

Free life membership and T shirt with Sharky's face on the front and "I'm Only Here For The Lulz" on the back?

 

[barjon]

yes, that's a point MrG - anyway where did you dig up the stats, Arabian? According to the forum page the stats are:

Threads: 57,166, Posts: 758,631, Members: 204,646

The hundred thousandth thread should obviously one of those totally genuine, oh-so-useful ones telling us how to turn £10 into £100,000 in a week.

Oh, well that makes me look a bit daft then.

What's the thread ID thing then? It's showing this as thread #97872.

where'd you see that?

 

[barjon]

maybe all the deleted threads in it - just shows how hard we mods have to work!!!!!

 

[MrGecko]

A sort of numbering system seems pretty straightforward, but the figures quoted in the address bar don't line up with reality - they are an order of magnitude out.

For example, 1 out of every 2 threads being deleted? improbable but plausible... however, a similar thing exists in the member profile bit. I just clicked on the newest members profile alyssataylor1962 which indicated there should be 299488 members, but our good friend alyssataylor1962 is actually member number 204,648. That would mean nearly 1/3rd of all members have been banned / de-registered, which I find hard to swallow.

Could it be that pages exist that we can't see through the user interface?

There is absolutely no chance at all of that ever happening.
