Or not but, I like to count things, and I noticed something that most people probably wouldn't notice, and probably don't care about anyways.

Anywho I noticed that on the first page of any thread there are a maximum of eleven posts, and on all of the rest of the pages there are a maximum of ten posts.

I'm guessing this is because there are only aloud to be 10 replies per page, and on the first page there is the opening post, plus 10 replies, thus there are 11 posts total on the first page.

And on the other pages (assuming that I am right and that there are only ten replies aloud per page) there are only ten posts, which are all replies.

Posts: All posts whether replies to the OP or the OP itself.
Replies: Posts that respond to the OP.

I am sure that you all know the terminology, but I just wanted to clarify that. Am I making any sense at all?

Yes.

I will check this out for myself. Thanks for noticing.

the OP is counted as the 0th post, and if the OP is deleted as are all the other posts, the thread has -1 replies. I've seen it somewhere.

It makes perfect sense, but what is the significance of this discovery?

Ah, so that's how you get a -1 thread.

Well, even though these have little real significance, they are nice to know of. Thank you good people.

But the OP (Opening post) usually doesn't get deleted.

It's usually either the whole thread gets deleted or it just gets locked. Hmm...

There is really no signifigance. I was just really wanting to know how may other people caught that little detail there. I don't see why they would delete an OP and not just the whole thread.

Maybe if the OP has a lot of curse words but still strikes up a great conversation they will keep the thread because it is being productive, but deleting the OP because of the curse words I will make an example here.
Hookers
Can you believe that bitches get payed to fuck other guys, and let them cum all over them. And they get money for fucking. Do you think that they should let these *****s and ****s fuck guys for money legally?

Sorry for the vulgarity I just wanted to prove a point. It strikes a good debate but nobody wants an OP with that many curse words.
And just to get this out of my system. Fuck shit cum fuck haha.
Now let cencorship do its job.
