Actually, they can be cached just like post counts, thread posts and forum posts are :P

Simply change all the post counts, page numbers, post numbers, etc to hex.

That's certainly an interesting idea :P  Octal would confuse people as well XD
Decimals (floating point???) would be interesting in hex...

Well, I'm not too sure about making shouts add to postcount - I might make them stick to the end of the decimal, but adding to post count makes the "post count" stat kinda useless...
