URL's for the forums

[trumpetmercenary]

This may be a little trivial, but I was always curious about the numbers suffixed to the URL's for the forums.

like,
https://forums.macrumors.com/forums/ios-12.204/
https://forums.macrumors.com/forums/macos-high-sierra-10-13.203/
https://forums.macrumors.com/forums/iphone.99/

etc. do those numbers mean anything or are they totally random?

 

[arn]

Those are actual forum ids that are used by the software to look it up. The names in the urls are cosmetic and for SEO/readability.

example:

https://forums.macrumors.com/forums/ios-12.204/
https://forums.macrumors.com/forums/204/
