Haha, it's elementary my dear Watson. Unless I made the last post on the Death chat, I make one there. I then go to the main index page. That gives me the total post count in the outdoors and field craft section. I then look at the post count in the Knives forum section. I type those up. I then look at the DC page count and put that down, then I add two more posts to the Knives Forum and TOTAL website post count (to include the post for the outdoors thread and the update post). That gives us the total post count for the site. So

outdoors thread = 24,000

Knives forum = 531,000

1 count for the Word
1 count for the update
TOTAL = 555,002.

Chapeish?
