You think that's bad... The 60,000th forum post
not only went unnoticed, it got deleted. Who
knows what it might have been? No doubt the
whole milestone thing was overshadowed by
the RU3; I noticed that the surrounding posts
were all about the convention.

It only took you two weeks to notice that the
50,000th post had been overlooked. This time
it was nearly two months. I have a feeling that
the practice of observing message forum
milestone posts is quickly going the way of the
dodo now that there are three forums open
and posting is growing exponentially.

As an aside... I'm curious. It's been just over a
year, I think, since Message Forum 2 opened.
How much longer will posting replies to old
threads on Forum 1 be allowed, I wonder?
