Is this thread slow to open for a reason?

Dunno whyOriginally posted by RichardCranium View PostIs this thread slow to open for a reason?How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

WRCS, but just to explicate matters...
Each post to the CUK forums receives a unique ID (its Primary Key in the database, for those who know and care about such things). These IDs are allocated sequentially, in the precise order that posts are made, and therefore offer the definitive means of establishing which was the last post of one year and the first post of the next, even though the time shown on any post is only accurate to the minute. The post with a time of 23:59 and the highest ID must be the final post of the Old Year; and the post with a time of 00:00 and the lowest ID must be the first post of the New Year.
There is a URL pattern that allows one to view any post by its ID:
where the "ddddddd" bit is the post ID. So, for example, http://forums.contractoruk.com/1000000-post.html allows us to see Browne Issue's worthy achievement of the millionth post, in TPD (naturally).Code:http://forums.contractoruk.com/ddddddd-post.html
By checking out a few posts close to midnight, the Last Post and First Post can easily be established.
I therefore present the culpable two:
Last Post of 2009 - Gonzo
First Post of 2010 - Hairy Arsed Bloke
Keep up the good work, chaps
P.S. For those who were wondering, the first valid post on the current forum is number 9, which suggests that admin tried it out eight times before letting the rabble loose to beat on it. A little bit of history for you
