Congratulations on that! You've built a wonderful site and I'm happy I was able to find it early on. I look forward to this place being put "on the map"!

How come a 10-year-old thread only has 4 posts? (now 5)

MichaelinIowa definitely wins the prize for digging up and posting to the most dead thread ever revived in BFs.

Hehe... Not quite, but I've wondered what the first post was, too.

The URL for the opening post is

Code:

https://www.bikeforums.net/showpost.php?p=1445&postcount=1

-- so it looks like it's the 1,445th post. MichaelinIowa's zombie revival post is

Code:

https://www.bikeforums.net/showpost.php?p=10025537&postcount=3

which would be the 10,025,537th post.

Addendum to my previous post --

Entering a URL of

Code:

https://www.bikeforums.net/showpost.php?p=1

came up with nothing. Using different numbers and "showthread" instead of "showpost" is also hit-or-miss.

So, what's the oldest post on BF?

Both these threads:
https://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=2
https://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=550
were started on Oct. 28, 1999 just a few minutes from each other.

And the thread we're in now:
https://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=543

I don't think I'll figure out how those numbers are assigned any time soon.
I thought bikeforums archaeology would be more fun...
