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.

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.

''I think this truly embodies the difference between middle school and high school'' ._ . Anywayyy, the middle school counting thread started at one, and it currently at 30027. There have been 2084 replies from 28 participants. ''(as of 6/24/24 at 4:07 pm UTC+8, last updated by Mark Huang)'' However, this thread does nOT have the unspoken rule that one person isn't allowed to send more than one message in a row, so there are many instances of the same person counting up three or more numbers in a row<ref>Word from Evan (Ha-earl) Cho: "Well Tripp said to count, not count by one"</ref>. In fact, the MSers started counting with multiple numbers in one message, with one message counting from 16504 to 20000. However, I don't think any numbers have been skipped.
