Q: 10,000,000+ questions preemptive bug attack

Having 8 digits or more questions asked breaks the layout and looks bad. When Stack Overflow hits its 10th million question, it'll be an extraordinary event, likely celebrated with shenanigans, riots, and lots of crying with pure hysteria. If my uneducated guess calculations are correct, the 10t...

@Frank Flag count doesn't matter unless you run for mod on any site, that is the only time they make it public and a good flag history helps

Jan Dvorak

Does it still benefit from protection if it's closed?

Frank

@InfiniteRecursion I know, I just like to see a bigger number there.

Unihedron

@InfiniteRecursion bragging rights?...

Infinite Recursion

@Frank we use SEDE queries to find stuff to flag and cleanup, you can help if you want, it's easier through SEDE

@Unihedron Oh yeah, ofcourse...everyone wants to beat bluefeet

@Frank yes, that's a huge disadvantage indeed.

Also, remember that SE is not your life, balance your regular work..

Infinite Recursion

Yes, SE is for coffee breaks and to pass travel time

My work is on peoples lawns and landscapes, and up in their trees, very physical. So no access to computer most of the time.

Infinite Recursion

I use SE chat on my mobile, it's very inconvenient (can't click reply on any message), but it's a good way to pass time and help flag spam. Spam annoys me.
