way back at the dawn of time, to avoid issues with hitting maximum values for various MySQL types, we made it so comments and posts are numbered per-journal, not sitewide! nobody could *ever* receive more than 16,777,215 comments to their journal, right? 25 years later: lol. lmao.

OH GOD hahahahahah I am so, so sorry. Can you fix it without site-wide downtime at least? Database re-shards are the woooooorst.

I know it is nothing in comparison now, but I am reminded of how CrystalWank broke JournalFen and issued in the maximum number of comments any one post could receive.
