Congratulations To Tvc, 1 Million Posts!

[PlanetMan]

Thanks for providing this wonderful resource. Looks like you've a hit on your hands.

Don't you think you are a bit early for that now? Only 978,421 as of writing this. TROLL!!!!!!!

troll is a bit severe guardian, the poster has been a member for 3 years and has 66 posts, that hardly qualifies as a troll

Hey, he's a troll and a spammer! That's got to be a first!

[kayo]

Not a troll, nor a spammer...

Perhaps a wee bit premature... But we can't all be perfect.

Thought is pleasant enough...

Oh, and if you include all the deleted'by'admin/mods posts then we could be at a million already.

Where can one find the tally, or must one add the posts of each individual room?

What is the date this forum started?

Potentially a very powerful lobby group, no wonder " Big Brother" occasionally drops in for a gander.

Does the millionth poster win a Pontiac Convertible?

PlanetMan, maybe you (or some other knowledgeable member) could do an extrapilation going on average daily posts to get a close approximation of the day we will reach that magic number.

Based on the statistics I posted 2 days ago, I checked the number of posts at 7:51am this morning and it was 982,062.

That's 3,135 posts in 2 days, or 1567.5 posts per day.

Projecting this number forward as a daily post count, one could expect the millionth post to occur sometime during the evening on the 28th or early morning of the 29th of this month.

But that projection assumes a lot and is based only on the last 2 days worth of posts.

See you did use some of that mathematics you learned in Uni after leaving. It was not a total waste of time.

Each thread in each of the 50 or so rooms has it's own tally. Is there any way to know which post will actually be the one millionth post?

Hey... I'm back at home, again... so at an average of 40 posts a day when i'm home, I reckon we'll get there...

Nah, mate...I think Dr PP gave him some software, he just needs to click a few tabs or something..., I reckon...

If punters are being encouraged to wager on the time of the millionth post them some consideration should be given to day-of-week and time-of-day variability in the rate of posts. I'm guessing it will be posted sometime Tuesday morning in Bangkok.

To determine the millionth post, would it be a simple SQL query run after the count exceeded 1 million?

Regardless of how is is done, the impressive thing is that it has been done at all. Look around, there are many forum sites on the Web; this level of popularity is uncommon. Kudos to the TVC team; what they've done is bloody difficult!

[britmaveric]

Way over a million if you count the posts that were zapped!!

He'll no doubt shelve it next to PHP for Dummies

Best guess 1,500,000

Best guess 1,500,000

and many of the zapped posts were reasoned, erudite, well intentioned and sincere...

tutsiwarrior is not amused...

I expect to be in Bangkok by then. Where’s the party going to be?
