What happens after a million messages

[ParrotNuts]

I was seeing the most messages list and I saw that we have quite a few members with exactly 1,000,000 messages but no one had 1,000,001 or more. Why?
I ask this because I was thinking what I and @Ali will do after a few years

 

[ParrotNuts]

Is it anything concerning with the selected datatype?

Members with a million messages are those who have passed on.

Okay. Thanks @Feather

Yes, the members with one million messages are those who are sadly no longer with us. They also have a special ¨Avian Angel¨ banner.

The people with the most posts are @zoo mom and @saroj12 at just shy of 54,000 each. Both members have been on the board for about 10 years.
So it is possible to have one million and one posts, but no living member is even anywhere close.

I'm trying to ask this without trying to be rude, but how did you know they passed? From the lack of messages and posts written by them?

Often we learn from forum friends or family. Many people here create connections outside of AA

You will pay for our additional server space. You are aware that someone has to pay for that, right?

Who does cover those costs? Is it vendor memberships?

So you think people like Shawna & myself should cover all the additional forum costs? I think the majority of our vendors do a pretty good job with participation of answering questions and issues, no?

We do have a forum owner and this forum does have real costs. Just saying.

Was just asking who covered them. It doesn't seem right all costs should focused on one person,

Quite frankly, I find your response incredibly rude.

Well, I found you asking who flipped the bill for the forum kinda rude so I guess we are even.

If the plan is a million messages I would expect you to know who the owner is...

I do know who the forumowner is, and don't plan to get 1 million messages.

I was not meaning it in a horrible way, just asking if it was all down to the owner. It was a query. That is not rude. YOU are rude

 

[Macawnutz]

YOU are rude

I won't lose any sleep over this statement.

 

[Ali]

I won't lose any sleep over this statement.

Well you really should. Accusing others of stuff they aren't and in general being rude isn't what I would expect a SUPER ADMINISTRATOR with all the banners to act like.

 

[itzmered]

Ali stop it Sarah is not being rude.

 

[Ali]

Whatever. By the way, admins really shouldn't take sides with other admins, especially when they are rude

@Ali - you are rapidly dropping back into the classification of average teenager. You know - the ones that are hysterical, self-involved, authored the cancel culture and that prefer having hissy fits and destroying things to make sure they get their very own way.

Tread carefully - young man - tread carefully.

 

[Hankmacaw]

Sweet pea - if you think that someone being rude to you is the worst than can happen to you, you have a whole lot of life to experience.

I don't care. I see no reason why my post should have offended, upset, or angered anyone

I know it isn't. I don't expect to be spoken to like that. Not by someone who is supposed to help run this forum.
