No, this is entirely due to the high-volume of posts. When the forum was set up years ago (name redacted to protect the guilty) someone thought "oh, come on, 16 million should be enough for anybody! Surely our userbase will never post that much!" and then promptly forgot about that limit. And ever since then, post after post, year after year, we moved towards that upper limit.
Today we reached it. And we got reminded the limit was there.

After somebody posted #16777215, the forum database didn't have any more post IDs to assign. We had to move up to the next larger size, which is 4294967295.

What happens when someone makes the 18,446,744,073,709,551,615th post and you can't go any higher? Do you just call it quits and start Nationstates 2 again?

Nat: Night's always in some bizarre state somewhere between "intoxicated enough to kill a hair metal lead singer" and "annoying Mormon missionary sober".

It took us 4 years to get to 16 million. So let's say ~4 million a year. Going to 4 billion will take us.... quite some time.
Lrn 2 Exponential Growth. I strongly doubt forum posting follows a linear path. I think we'll reach that limit within this decade.
