The original thread simply had the title of "lets count" and was posted on September 12th, 2022. After quite a few messages, it started to get very laggy. If you went to notifications in teams, and the top one was a reply in the counting thread, it would crash teams, if not your whole computer. So, Shelli created a new thread called "Lets count: CONTINUED" on 4/10/23. However, that thread eventually experienced the same problem with lag. Since Shelli Selby had since left NSA, [[Hallie Griffin]] took up the mantle and created a thread called "Lets count: CONTINUED: Continued" on 10/15/23. At the beginning of 2024, that thread also began to lag significantly. It lagged so much that the participants started talk of making a new thread. On February 3, 2024, [[Jacob Grady]] started a new thread called Lets count: CONTINUED: Continued: Again. After a little over a month, [[Isaac Rivers]] decided that Jacob's thread had become too laggy, and so he made a new thread, Lets Count: CONTINUED: Continued: Again: Round Two. [[Hannah Robbins]] soon got fed up with the lag (recurring theme?) and so she made Lets count: CONTINUED: Continued: Again: Round Two: Round Three. Yet again, [[Isaac Rivers]] got tired of the lag, so he made Lets count: CONTINUED: Continued: Again: Round Two: Round Three: Round Four. | The original thread simply had the title of "lets count" and was posted on September 12th, 2022.

By this time, Teams had updated and the lag no longer happened, which is why the latest thread has the most replies. | ||

*On May 5, 2025, Taylor Trombley posted "'''Lets Count! With A Twist!''' With your number, you have to relate it to something with that number. Whether a sport number, model number, or something else, it doesn't matter, it just has to be related to something. <small>If you don't know of anything, then just ask chat or something.</small>" Some replies were more creative than others. | |||
