Hmmm… Oh well, 🤷
You two are looking at different counters altogether.
Vsotvep is looking at the number of visible replies, which is just a bit past 3333 in his view. This number does not count the posts in this thread that has been deleted or moved elsewhere. Interestingly, my current view only shows 3330 (not including this one), so maybe Vsotvep sees slightly more since there are some hidden (but not yet deleted/removed) posts that are only visible to moderators. These numbers can further change if posts get deleted or moved.
GreenAsJade showed a screen shot of the post ID number, which is a unique number assigned to each reply and reveals the actual number of posts ever put in this thread, including counting posts that have been deleted or moved.

To be pedantic, the meme posted says “POST #3333”. As I showed, it is in fact post #3581.
This is invariant to the number of posts visible to different users.
Feel free to move this reply, and the previous, to the appropriate thread

I think it was all a plot.
Vsotvep not only came up with this great idea, but also a great idea to milk it for all it was worth

Are we all just going to ignore the fact that the closest bowl has both black and white stones in it?

When you’ve been doing territory scoring wrong this whole time (according to wikihow) How to Score a Game of Go: 11 Steps (with Pictures) - wikiHow
- Wait until both players have passed play.…
- Look for empty points on the board that your stones surround. …If you have an area partially surrounded, then it is considered neutral and it does not count for a point. …
So far so good, depending on the interpretation of partially surrounded.
- Determine where your stones are in seki and count those stones. Stones that are in seki are in danger of being captured, but they are nearby an opponent’s stones that are also in danger of being captured. Seki means mutual life. In a seki situation, neither player can move because the player who moves will lose stones.
- Look for areas on the board where you and your opponent have each other surrounded, but you only have one liberty each. Count the stones within this area and write down this number.
- Count the number of stones your opponent has captured. …
- Add together the seki stone total and the captured stone total. Once you have determined your seki stone total and your captured stone total, you should add these two numbers together. Write down the total of these two numbers.
- Subtract the seki/captured stone total from the empty points total. The last thing you need to do to get your score is to subtract your seki and captured stone total you’re your empty points total. The equation should look something like this: Empty Points – (seki stones + captured stones) = final score. Complete this equation using your numbers and then write down your answer.
- Compare the numbers to see who won.…

Wtf!? 
This is by far the most inaccurate and confusing description of how to score a game of Go I’ve encountered yet. I think I’m going to spend an evening rewriting that article, you never know which poor soul may find themselves reading it…
Especially the pictures make it more confusing too… Why is the board unfinished? Why do they give an example of a false eye as territory? Why do they point to some alive stones in the “point to the dead stones” stage? Why are there stones without liberties on that board? Why do all of these people need a notepad to be able to add and subtract three numbers together?
