Actually, it happened last night at some point. The counter on the site and the actual web logs differ by about 10,000 page views (probably due to testing in the month of December before the db was live).
So - we could probably figure it out - but I'm not going to
edit:
Here are the current stats according to the server:
So... we are averaging over 1.5 million hits a month, but really only about 340,000 pages served a month. Figured out how people overrepresent their viewership yet?
Of course, I could have set the board to load using a welcome page, auto-preview your posts, ask for confirmation when marking a forum read, etc. These are all cheap tricks that other sites use.
OH! Some sites count their pop-up ads as pages viewed too! Watch out when you see stats, they aren't always above board.

I love it when a plan comes together
I was reading one of the forums when i noticed the counter at 1000010.... i was going to post something but i actually had to do something at work! Damn Work! MoeGates then beat me to it.
I am the JOBBER TO THE STARS. You better remember that.
I just noticed that the board's time doesn't match the server time. I am guessing there's some piece we forgot to patch. I'll either figure it out or wait three weeks, whichever comes first.
EDIT: Oh! All I had to do was stop and restart Apache.
