Did you ever notice that in the url it lists a number when you go to a forum, like the septagon (forumID=3)? Well, all of the forums have relativly low numbers, ranging from 1 to around 20 something. Well, with the Halo 3 forum, the forum ID is 105242. I was just wondering, what exactly is the reasoning behind the forum numbers (are they in chronological order?), and why is the Halo 3 forum ID so high?

Edit: Also, Optimatch has an odd number as well, 5576.

Forum id1 was the first, but if someone created a new group, their forum gets an ID as well. So the Halo 3 forum was number 105242 to be created on B.net.

Ah, of course. Now I remember that some people were talking about this a while back.

Oh, and yes, JAF is right, if you make the ID in a group one it take you to the Bungie homepage. Two is the Marty army and so on...
