Unfortunately so
It's not just numbers but the fact that in here some threads have hit 1000 pages, not posts but
pages. They are replied to so often that the previous posts don't show when someone checkes the thread, only in the topic review box below can the true last post be seen.
Surely deleting this forum would cut down on the traffic and bandwidth and even the database size too.
The board has been alive for 3 years in its current incarnation, maybe its time it got reset again, all posts deleted, start from scratch
