^ should know that the TMF crashed, having outgrown its server, in December of 2004. Emergency measures, such as disallowing searches and private messages, were insufficient by themselves to bring it back. So, on December 16, 2004, a total of about 200,000 posts were removed, all from the Silly Stuff Forum. Of those removed, about 47,000 were mine. So, if not for that purge, I would have about 85,000 posts today. 😱
PS: The TMF has since moved to a new server, and shouldn't need another purge. 😀 😀 😀
