Or to put it more accurately, a whole load of spam, some semi-on topic posts, a damnable amount of sex and innuendo based posts and numerous ST or SW posts and the one guy who got that 10^7th post did it.

Me of course. :D

Seriously it could have been me. I logged in a few moments before the postcount hit 1 million

It might be you. I can't be 100% sure until I optimize the database, which I'd rather not do when the board is running. Tomorrow, I'll try to do some manual DB queries on tonight's backup on my second server so the crunching won't disrupt the main board's operation. It's possible to try and guess by comparing post_id values and frontpage post counts, but that's a bit dicey, particularly if any errors have crept into the forum postcounts over the years (it calculates the total postcount by adding up the forum postcounts, which are in turn calculated via manual SQL additions and subtractions every time a post is added or deleted so that it won't be doing time-consuming full-database row counts every time someone logs in).

In any case, the only way to be 100% sure is to take a copy of the DB and manually query it for the millionth row, so I'll get back to you. Right now, it looks like this one might be the millionth post.

EDIT: after resynchronizing the forum postcounts and rechecking the database, it does indeed appear that EvilCat got the 1 millionth post. Sadly, it had something to do with Robotech rather than Star Wars, Star Trek, or anal sex.

You could fix that by deleting posts until the millionth post was about a desirable topic, though, couldn't you?

What a shitty content lacking post. And it was about Robotech of all things!

When time comes for the two millionth post, I say we shut down all non Trek/Wars/sex related threads.

I say we keep trying until the post is respectably screwed up enough to be worthy of SD.net.

:mrgreen: SD.net is a big boy now, mama.
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

*claps* Woohoo!

This board has been here nearly two years, and is still going strong, with a million posts. How many other respectable* boards can say that?

Long live SDNET!

*respectable = one with a good policy on spamming and the like :-P
Tugging a rhythm to the vision that's in my head
Tugging a beat to the sight of you lying
So delighted with a new understanding
Something about a little evil that makes that
Unmistakable noise I was hearing
Unmistakable sound that I know so well
Spent and sighing with a look in your eye
Spent and sighing with a look on your face like

Sweet revelation, sweet surrender
sweet, sweet surrender
Surrender...
