[PUZZLE] Missing pic on paintover.net?

When I looked at the source code on the pages where the images are shown you see someinth like :
<a name="000017"></a>
in the code. When I analyzed all of the pics i got the following table:

2003.10.01 #000010 http://www.paintover.net/_cpy/archives/00000001.jpg
2003.10.05 #000012 http://www.paintover.net/_cpy/archives/00000100.jpg
2003.10.09 #000013 http://www.paintover.net/_cpy/archives/00001001.jpg
2003.10.09 #000014 http://www.paintover.net/_cpy/archives/00011001.jpg
2003.10.11 #000015 http://www.paintover.net/_cpy/archives/00001111.jpg
2003.10.16 #000016 http://www.paintover.net/_cpy/archives/00000011.jpg
2003.10.25 #000017 http://www.paintover.net/_cpy/archives/00011010.jpg

So where's The pic with ID 11??

My guess is that 11 was the original, unaltered @aquapolis.net ftp photo.

No, they only changed the picture, the references were the same.

My first thought was something to do with the system they used for running the site;

They tried it out a few times which got them to 10, which they were happy with. They then did a trial for the second picture, changed it, and have used the same "template" ever since.

The second picture was different to the first in that it had links to the first. They might not have been used initially, but they were there.

However this is pure speculation.

Those refer to the article ID numbers used by movable type. Usualy on systems like that, a few IDs get skipped, changed, deleted, or some other such nonsense. This board is missing something around 17 users, IIRC, based on the difference between members count and ID numbers.
