Fishman has 238 posts as of now.
Square root of 238 = 15.4272486

Also, General Chat has 24 pages, which is 42's digits reversed.

-------

I'm editing my old post after it was posted as a replacement to double posting.
Because I just found another 42 sighting.

The 42nd "42" in e (2.718281828459045...) begins at the 4756th decimal digit.
4756/e = 1749.63462
1749.63462/42 = 41.6579671, which is very close to 42.

It's from the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The ultimate answer to life, the universe and everything is 42. They weren't entirely certain what the question to the ultimate answer was, but they eventually found that the question was "What do you get if you multiply six by nine?"
It was suggested that 6x9 is 42 in base thirteen, but Douglas Adams said "I don't make jokes in base thirteen."
