Ghost pages

[feihlination]

searchbarred that exact term without recent threads popping up.

having programmed a forum from scratch myself, how do those ghost pages come accross?

ns is so fucking professional in a lot of regards that i cant believe you wouldnt get this done.

no critique, i would just like to know how this happens. is there a "hard count" for each thread and its not corrected when a post gets deleted?

idk, cause something like

SELECT count(posts_no)

FROM tab_posts

WHERE posts_status="active"

&& posts_thread="[corresponding thread]"

would prevent that easily. of course there would be a lot of queries. but even if it would be adapted once a day for every thread it would still be sufficient.

seriously, i am pretty sure there is some biger issue with this, but i just would like to know.

There used to be at least one ghost forum. It was the shit aka it was cool to see how many other people made it there.

Ski grabber is 1. Nsg is two. It keeps going up. I think the new England regional is 37. Some the the numbers went to places that weren't linked.
