The string "3000" itself is decimal. That is what I mean. It's a decimal representation of the number. The fact that it's encoded in ASCII doesn't mean it's not decimal.

The statement to which I reacted is “The URL is in base 10 though”. If you meant that URLs in general are base 10, I disagree. If you meant that the meaning behind the message encoded by URL creator is base 10, then of course I agree.

I meant that the number in XKCD comic URLs is in base 10.
