With this module, when you make a double post, it also increases your auto increment value. So if I make a double post, the post id will be 4, but the post after that would be 6 instead of 5.

The table might look like this:
postid | post
1 | first post
2 | second post
3 | third post
4 | fourth post + another post (double post)
6 | fifth post
7... and so on

Without increasing the auto increment value each time a post is added to a previous post:
1 | first post
2 | second post
3 | third post
4 | fourth post + another post (double post)
5 | fifth post
6... and so on

If you manage to do something like a triple, or quad post, it could look even worse:
1 | first post
2 | second post
3 | third post
4 | fourth post + another post + post + post
8 | fifth post
9... and so on

It's really something minor, and I doubt anyone else would care but I think it keeps the table looking more neat. I'm probably extra picky.
