While the post count for GS is 1,62M, that only includes posts that survived GS software upgrades and Spam purges.

The number of posts ever is very close to 2 Million.

EDIT: This is the 2 millionth post.


Happy anniversary, milestone or whatever everyone.

Future generations will recover this and seal it in a concrete sarcophagus using robots and bionic cats.

I'm not as impressed as I should be because there is another forum that I am on that has passed 2 million posts (if you count the ones erased by the crash in 2010).

Future generations will recover this, and test their interpretations on the civilization we represent.
Would the future generations interpret our civilization as being represented by a sub-niche of almost entirely middle-aged or older males obsessing over map artwork, dice construction and the hoarding of thousands of small square pieces of cardboard?

As the males grew old and doubled in size, they could no longer remember all the numbers. Most could only count in bits like 1,2,4,6,8,12,16. They exchanged most of the riches they accumulated for heaps of cardboard and spent weeks cutting them into little squares and weeks cutting little corners off those squares and more weeks putting them in plastic boxes they spent the rest of their savings on.

For reasons unknown they spent long hours pouring over degraded forms of maps that no one can properly use for actual navigation. They held rituals regularly and pushed little squares around these maps while failing to grasp that squares would never fit into hexes! Not surprising since ample evidence of magnifier use was found. Perhaps they were trying to set those squares on fire by room lighting?

The female species largely resigned to it as further signs of aging but as long as they don't start putting the little square in their mouths, they let them be.

They had a sacred text from which they quote from chapter and verse, even though it's often anti physics. Then again, you can't expect much from people who could no longer count.
