Where Will This All End?
« on: January 25, 2007, 06:57:50 PM »
Just wondering, Skuzzy, where will all this board's posts end?  Or will they?  They're great fun and often enlightening, but with more than 2 million posts already, where is the eventual saturation point?

When the board gets x number of posts, will it be truncated starting with the oldest posts?  

Or will our immortal ramblings be:

(a)  preserved forever

(b)  printed out and burnished into airfoil for HiTech's next aircraft

(b)  bequethed to a psychiatric institute as case studies?

I suspect things will get a bit wonky once we reach 0xffffffff posts, unless a full transition to 64 bits is made before we reach that, then we will be good until 0xffffffffffffffff posts.  At that point, the server will implode.

I'm sure the server would commit suicide from BS overload before it reached bit saturation.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.

hitech would go one one of his purges and kill it before then.

He's got the 30mm ammo to do it in the office. All he needs is a 262 to fire it from.
