    Note that thread "starter" is not necessarily the person who actually started the thread, due to thread splits and merges. For any date related thread, or any multi-part thread, you should assume that the thread starter is not necessarily the listed person.

    Note also that thread views are totals for the thread and are not constrained by date, so will contain "views" from the start of 2019 as well.

    If it's too much trouble don't worry about it but I'm curious if @Simon Hampel or any of the mods could tell me how many posts my San Diego thread has pre-split? I'd look it up myself but I don't actually know what the split thread is called seeing as it was closed upon splitting. I'd imagine it'd bump the number up significantly as it has a really good chunk of the "conversation" in it from memory.

    Oldest threads still active in 2018

    Obviously this data is affected by thread splits and our yearly news threads - but is still interesting. Please don't bump old threads just for the sake of doing so.

    Are you referring to this thread? Top 5 Zoos in the USA (150 posts) ... which was split from this thread: San Diego Zoo - San Diego: The Perfect Zoo? (227 posts) ?

    Yes that's what I was referring to, thanks. I was just curious as I remember the original thread getting way off-track for a long time.
