As strange as it may seem, I don't see any message numbers anywhere on Forum 2. So I don't have any idea where we are, numerically speaking. Could it be my computer? My eyesight?

A few months ago, I was reading the posts on a scooter site and noticed that the last one was numbered 9999. So naturally, I posted number 10,000 and commented on the milestone we had reached. Nobody even commented on my comment, so I would assume that means it wasn't important to them. Maybe it's just a RinkWorks sort of thing.
