Considering your post ID is 8029415 (meaning post # 8,029,415), we've already hit that milestone already :P

Though this site seems to be constructed from scotch tape and paper clips, so maybe we aren't really at 8m yet.

Isn't it possible to delete threads along with the posts in them? That would explain it, I think. The system probably doesn't pick the first free ID for each post but the next one, with each post ever made (deleted or not) incrementing the counter by one.

A lot of posts might have been expunged. That's my guess for the discrepancy.

Ioi modified the post number in the race to get the 3 millionth post, basically skipping roughly 30k posts. If you look for posts roughly 2970000 through 2999999, they don't exist.
