The 10000th non-deleted topic (at time of creation), so party!

[Matthias720]

That's how many total topics are currently on the forum, but many have been deleted or merged over the years. If you look at the URL for this topic http://redwallabbey.com/forum/index.php?topic=11951, the 11951 at the end is the topic number. Knowing that, this is topic 650, this is topic 5432, but there is no 5213. Some exist, some don't. We really need a total topics created stat to avoid this kind of confusion. Does that make sense?

EDIT: Though I totally get how such a misunderstanding could happen. The description is a bit misleading into what that number really means.

Oh.....Welp..

Interestingly enough, there's also no topic 5212  or topic 5214. Topic 5211 is a Cellars topic posted by a deleted member, and 5215 is a poll in Cavern Hole, I believe, about the number of homeschoolers, set up by Jukka. They were also posted on the same day.

So, you've stumbled across the deleted member, 'Train Guy', our former resident train fan. Though they aren't around anymore, legend says you can hear the distant sound of train whistles at night, when the Cellars are empty.

Hah! That's awesome.

Wait, now that you mention it-

[Cornflower MM]

Good ol' Train Guy.

Well that needs to die.

[Kade Rivok]

It is train.  It is art.

So sweet. Should I give it to GJ as a wedding present?
