Citizens of Machine Nation,

While you were all watching that number on the portal gradually climb towards 50,000, something slightly different was happening in the post database.

As the database stands, there are approximately 50280 entries.

We have had approximately 600 post deletions since the start, which is why the portal number is lower.

The official 50,000th post is that post whose post_id value in the database is 50,000.

This post was made Yesterday at 6:17 pm.

This can be found easily by entering the following address into your browser :

Congratulations to the holder.

EVM.

Congratulations to that poster, and to everyone who made the other 49,999 - and especially to the site Admins.

Thank you, my public. You are all hereby invited to a celebratory drink under the Red Cow flyover, bring your own, I'll be with you in spirit only (can't be expected to consort with the lower orders, can I?)...

I feel a bit embarrassed actually, I'd have made an effort with the post had I known, especially since I only joined a fortnight ago. Still, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank my two dogs, my rabbit, God...

Why is there no first, second or third post?

Lots of posts get deleted over the years. The post_id entry in the database table does not get reused.
