Tthe one in the top box? (technical)

That's different each time?

Is that how many threads have ever been started?

And does it include dead Chat threads and deleted threads?

I thought Thread 1 was about the use of dummies and was basically Rachel talking to herself.

QED · 19/02/2012 22:19

It did start in 2000. And was there sock puppeting going on in those early days I wonder (as Justine and Carrie answered each other and swopped. Did they use new names each time?)

Trills · 19/02/2012 22:18

If so why is she not just called Lou?

Hassled · 19/02/2012 22:17

I wonder if she's still 33?

Hassled · 19/02/2012 22:17

We need Lou33. She pops up on the "when did you start MNing?" threads - she has been here since the dawn of time itself.

I love this game!

Trills · 19/02/2012 22:16

You are magic Chaos!

QED · 19/02/2012 22:15

I thought it started in 2000. We need an old timer to tell us.

Thread 100 was June 02. So if MN did start in 01 then it was a very quiet sort of place - I remember some old-timer once saying there would be one page of threads that never changed, for days.

1410011 is deleted if that helps any. :D

Trills · 19/02/2012 22:09

Maybe this is it

Trills · 19/02/2012 22:09

linky no worky though :(

I think I could have answered thread #10,000. Her DCs will be out clubbing by now though.

Hassled · 19/02/2012 22:05

I think MN started 2001.

QED · 19/02/2012 22:04

Something like this one says it can't be found, but you do get the title in it (in the URL)

QED · 19/02/2012 22:03

But that was started in 2001 - when did Mumsnet start? Did the very early posts get lost somehow?

Trills · 19/02/2012 22:02

Thread 10,000 has still never been answered.

QED · 19/02/2012 22:01

1410000 was started at 15:57 today

TheSkiingGardener · 19/02/2012 21:59

Sorry, and thanks Trills

So we can play random number thread finding, but can't get to deleted ones. Poo

dearprudence · 19/02/2012 21:59

This was thread number 1,000,000

QED · 19/02/2012 21:59

So we could try and find the deleted thread, whichever one it is. When roughly did it start?

Hassled · 19/02/2012 21:58

oooh this is good.
I just changed the number to 1410275, deleted the thread title, hit return and it took me to www.mumsnet.com/Talk/_chat/a1410275-Might-need-to-live-near-Abington-Cambridge-where-to-live. So the topic isn't linked to the number, and is sequential according to date/time the thread was started.
