the numbers have nothing to do with people or posts.the the numbers are database object id numbers.
Betcha can't say that while you are rubbing your head and stroking your stomach ;D

A database object is a schema, table, query etc. - the numbers we are discussing do not refer to database objects - the refer to indiviual records within a databse object.If a sequential index scheme is in place, which I believe is the default, then the first post will have an index number of 1. Likewise the first registered user will have an index on 1 in the user table. Allowing for live testing we can expect that the actual first user will have an id > 1 (assuming the indexes were not reset) and Dan may have setup test accounts so the number we see maybe a few out from the real number of registered users but generally speaking the ID you see represents how long you have been registered.The same applies to the table dealing with posting. All you have to do to prove this is look at the message ids in the links on the home page. They are ordered on time of posting and the message ids go down by one per post.The message ID of this post will be 569995
You mean you don't know??

We have 8999 members! One more to go to the next thousand....But - more to the point - how many of those 8999 actually post anything?
