I think some explanation is in order.
First off,
>>2000000 was my 50th ever million GET.
Secondly, look at
>>1999997 and
>>1999999. They were posted by the same guy. Posting new threads and posting posts are on different timers, so you can post a new thread and a new post OR post a new post then post a new thread...so why did his post go through before his thread?
It's simple. Here is the order in which 4chan processes posts:
1. You sent the post to 4chan's server
2. 4chan assigns a time to the post
3. 4chan uploads your post to the board
4. AFTER 4chan uploads your post in its entirety, it assigns a public post number, and it shows up on the board
This was highly evident during times on /pol/ when the servers were under extreme duress from bots. You'd have posts posted before other posts that were sometimes 30 seconds OR MORE behind because 4chan's servers were under stress. This also happens commonly during big GETs (usually septuplets or higher) on boards like /b/ and /pol/.
If you have any more questions, feel free to direct them at me.
