It almost seems unimportant given the current goings on, but I promised myself I would not forget this year.
Today is ESMB's 5th birthday!!!
If one human year = 7 dog years, how you you measure message board years? (It feels like 50!)

You have to use LRH-math exponential tech. Paul can help you with that.
Ah. Well, "dog years" are computed by taking the average lifetime of a dog in comparison to that of a human. Roughly, a human lives 70 years and a dog 10 years, meaning the factor is 7.
So what is the average lifetime of an Internet message board? Hard to say. Per the Internet Archive FAQ, "the average life of a Web page is only 77 days if no effort is made to preserve it." I remember starting a message board once but closed it down after a week or two. I can't find a well-researched answer anywhere, so I will just take that "77 days" as it has a nice ring to it.
So that means 77 message-board days = 70 human years. 5 x 365 message-board days = 5*365*70/77 human years = 1659 human years.
In LRH trillions-based math, "trillions 2" = trillions of trillions (10^24) years ago. In his nomenclature 10^24 = tr^2. So 1659 years ago? What is the logarithm of 1659 to base 10^12? (Did I get that right? I haven't done this for 40 years.) Well, I think I'll retire gracefully at this point.

Tole' you so, Ems.
