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. | The original thread simply had the title of "lets count" and was posted on September 12th, 2022.

One interesting thing about these threads is the number of reactions they get. For example, the original "lets count" thread had 30 reactions, of 13 different types. "Lets count: CONTINUED" had 39 reactions, 23 of which were the infinity emoji. "Lets count: CONTINUED: Continued" had 24 reactions with the infinity emoji. (this might be a record for most number of the same reaction? I'm not sure.) | One interesting thing about these threads is the number of reactions they get.

The record for the most amount of numbers posted in a short period of time was set by [[Isaac Rivers]] and [[Jacob Grady]], when they posted a combined total of 279 numbers in 18 minutes.<ref>(If you have a recorded instance of larger amounts in the same time, please edit this)</ref> | |||
At some point around two thousand, they began counting backwards - I'm not sure if that is true, or if it is, when they turned around again and started going forwards.<ref><cite class="note">Confirmed by [[Samuel Grady]]: After 2082, [[Keene Elkins]] jumped to 2100. [[Sunda Schwertfeger]] then proceeded to count backwards (probably to correct the jump). Then, after a few hundred backwards-counting messages, the counting continued forwards as normal (is there anything normal at northstar?), with some mild confusion to those who saw this afterward.</cite></ref> | At some point around two thousand, they began counting backwards - I'm not sure if that is true, or if it is, when they turned around again and started going forwards.<ref><cite class="note">Confirmed by [[Samuel Grady]]: After 2082, [[Keene Elkins]] jumped to 2100.
