Is it me, or are the posted questions getting worse these days?I don't know if they're getting worse, but they're not getting much better.
Yes, I just quoted a post that's almost 2 years old. After reading 2 other posts that were older, I just couldn't help myself. :Whistling:
Any chance this thread will breach 20,000 posts by the second anniversary?

Just a wee bit over 2000 to go to get it by 11/18 - 2.5 months is definitely doable, especially when we nearly hit 100 some days.
To do this, I think we'll need to convince Grant to put his hiatus from posting on this thread on hold until after then! 😀 :w00t:

Yep, I remember posting something about that before the anniversary.

On this thread, isn't that a given?
Actually, I have email notification set off for everything except for the discussion on the articles that I've written.

Was August the month for SHRINKDATABASE and SHRINKFILE? The forums appeared to have these through them like a stick of sea-side rock for the past month.
I'm surprised Gail's link about shrinking databases hasn't become the number 1 Google hit, with the number of times she's had to post it.

It's about halfway through the year, when record sets are getting bigger and bigger (for those who are doing YTD transactional storage). So, I can see August being just the right month for a lot of those posts to show.
On the other hand, I wonder what other monthly trends there tend to be. Is there a trend for disaster recovery posts in a certain month? Or string parsing posts in another?
