DaveLegg Developer Posted September 28, 2008 Developer Share Posted September 28, 2008 Wouldn't it just be Select * from posts where posts.deleted != 1 limit 1,8000000 Nothing like that simple. The number at the bottom of the forum contains the deleted posts, but not the queued ones. But even that doesnt explain why I seem to be seeing around 8 thousand posts I can't account for that are telling me we're already over the 8 million mark.

brentaal Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 How long ago was 7M? Wikipedia has this screenshot, taken on July 1st 2007. The post count back then was 6,931,754, so the 7 mil. mark was hit either at the end of that month or the beginning of August...

DaveLegg Developer Posted September 28, 2008 Developer Share Posted September 28, 2008 Queued posts? W0t?
