I was. What's that got to do with anything?

What?

Look, if you must know, xxTurbonium was a new account I made back in the day when I didn't know you could request an account name change; xxTurbonium isn't even the original name of the account, but I requested it be changed to it so that it is more clear it used to be my account (I had its name changed along with this account's name change). The xxTurbonium account is marked as inactive (i.e. I can't log into it even if I wanted to).

I'm using this account because it was my first account.

I actually wanted to have xxTurbonium deleted completely, but that is against forum policy.

Well, thanks for clearing that up.

I'm not sure, but I believe that a forum this size is handled by multiple servers. Maybe the servers are out of sync? i.e. the time on one differs by a little bit from the time on the other?

My guess is either a clock out of sync, or cached values for the post ID field. I don't know if they're using SQL Server or Oracle, and I don't know how SQL Server handles autonumber fields on DBs that are spread across multiple servers, but on Oracle it'll cache a certain number of values (I believe 20) by default. So if you hit one server you'll get 1, 2, 3, on the second server you'll get 21, 22, 23, etc. getting multiple numbers at one time has a performance benefit, but then of course you can't rely on the IDs being in chronological order. That's the sort of thing that someone could have changed to fix a performance issue without considering the full impact of the change.

EDIT: Oh its on now!

Time warpage is like tag. JLee is currently "it".

lol

He speaks the truth.

srsly.

Be careful. Play around with time too much, and the time mods will come and intervene.
Kinda like the current/future/past plot of Lost.

I was double timewarping threads the other day, changing my first post to play on the topic title and confuse people. Was getting funny when some mod deleted all my posts. That made me chuckle too.
