I swear the question counter on our main page is messed up. I checked last week and it said 234, and now it says like 201. Does it not go over 299? Or does it cycle weekly or something?

5Using the method: 'search "is:q" to get the extant questions, "is:a" to get the extant answers, add the numbers up, divide by the Id number of the most recent question', 63.3% of the posts here have been deleted. You can compare that with the 51.6% deleted on Sceptics.– J. MusserDec 23, 2014 at 3:00

@J.Musser Post IDs also include tag wikis and excerpts. At the moment, there are 203 non-deleted questions, 575 non-deleted answers, and 104 live tags = 208 posts. Add a number of tags that were renamed.– Gilles 'SO- stop being evil'Dec 23, 2014 at 12:13

I deleted a whole bunch of closed questions yesterday when the site entered public beta. Others probably did as well. It's generally a good idea to clean house a bit before new folks show up.
