Posting leaders
Has anyone noticed who the leaders are when it comes to posting?

Why does one user have (2^32)-2 posts?

Hmmm... a disturbance in The Force is my guess.

A nice collection of the usual suspects there. By the way, seeing his name reminds me, what happened to mcrowder? He had some good stuff but one day he was just gone.

You're going to catch me soon, it appears.

Hard to believe I'm #14 on the list, but it's also hard to believe my first high school basketball game was over 21 years ago, too.

I believe my KNEES are old, though.

I just realized I passed Padgett. It's official now.

I have no life.

Hmm.... one less user now. Darn those errant database queries.

They must've left out the

Code:
AND USER_TYPE IS NOT 'troll'
in the WHERE clause.

Here's what I think happened:

A user was created with a certain username that reflected on someone that use to post in the baseball section.

Someone with admin powers manually altered that user's record to show a whole mountain of posts. Why that number happened to be eerily similar to 2^32, I dunno. Possibly it was to test what happens on a variable overflow.

That user was deleted when my thread showed up.

With the state of the State, you would be most welcome.
