Post count means nothing!

[ed4copies]

As we near the one millionth post, I ponder the world's most important questions and invite you to help me with these daunting demands:

1) Who was the first IAP member to type those famous words, "Nice pen, good job"??
2) Who was the first IAP member to realize THAT was WAY too much work and abbreviate them with NPGJ???
3) Who, do you suppose, was the gifted typist who decided to use the first version of a quote, then post simply "+1"???

What other BURNING questions can you add to this list "for the ages"??

No, deleted posts are taken away from your total DAMHIKT!!!:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin: (post 999,903)

With three more mods, I could be in negative numbers!!

I hope somebody picked the right data type for the post count or we'll have to start the generator and get out the camp stove.

LOL... But Jeff... Data types never end at exactly a round number like 1 million. They are tied to the number of bits for storage. So if we run out it will almost always be at a number related to 2 to some power! :big grin:

A million posts is an impressive number. A lost of people have come and gone over the years, but for the most part the community has been pretty solid and united without that much bickering and war going on. Imagine if this was a sewing or knitting forum the kind of drama that could happen! We are lucky to have this place to hang out at. I've met lots of great friends here. Penturners are an honest and generous bunch.

Amazing stats! I, for one, have really enjoyed this forum. So many helpful people. And now I enjoy contributing instead of just asking questions. Thanks for all those who put in the hours to make this a great community!

Ok... except now no body is posting! Everyone is just sitting on the home page looking at the post count

 

[mredburn]

is it time for a +1 yet?

 

[ed4copies]

is it time for a +1 yet?

Philosophical question: If posting "+1" adds one to the total "post count", will posting "+70" add SEVENTY to the post count???:laugh::laugh::laugh:

[ed4copies]

220 people on the site--suppose if we build the suspense long enough, we can break the 450 number??

 

[PenMan1]

If every post represents a "made pen", does a millions posts equal 1,000,0000 pens, too?

Interesting question... Your count is 3956 - have you made that many pens??

One of them looks MUCH younger than he really is... But I'm not saying which one!

Now down to 193---guess 450 is pretty safe---no "double breakage" around 8 pm (our time)!!
