Oolite Bulletins

Silly, but I've just noticed that there have been 99990 articles posted to the board as I type this, so only another eight posts and we'll get to all the nines.
Let's hope it can add another digit after that.

Ok... So what happens then?
Does the odometer turn over, or something?

Oooooh......99999, so what happens next?

Edit:- 100,000th post!

The lizard pulls his hands from his ears...

Wow, we're still here? We didn't all 'splode?
Cool!

Actually, the "100,000th" post is the 116,293th post, as you can easily see from the link itself.

Some posts were deleted by the posters themselves, some by the moderators (notably during the great spam-wars).

And a lot of posts were lost, because in some of the forums the phpBB-software was originally set to auto-delete everything older than twelve or 24 months. When we noticed and changed the setting, many threads were gone forever, especially in this very Outworld-forum, but in the others as well. You may notice that—while the boards were started on May 21st, 2004—the oldest surviving posts in Outworld are from March 2007, which means that about three years of conversation about outlandish topics have been lost. (Only polls seemed to be exempt, therefore the oldest three theads in this forum are polls from 2005 and 2006). There is a thread about that as well, of course.

It's always nice sitting around a camp fire and hearing the elders talk about events long past

Ah yes... many a hoary old tale has been told around the campfire.
