It took 685 days to get 1 million posts, and we're a lot busier now than then. I'd estimate 550 +/- 50 days, or around Aug 4, 2014.Greg Bernhardt said:Bets for 5 million anyone? :D

Astronuc said:I seem to be wrong on activity (posting that is). It is cyclical, and has trended somewhat down.
It might take around 650 days give or take, or less if the members online increases.
The visitors have certainly gone up. We routinely have 5000 or more guests online.
The next milestone is 400,000 members, 600,000 threads or >10,000 persons online
I donated some years back when I didn't understand anything (actually, I still don't understand anything), but I'd love to have Gold membership again! I'm just broke and jobless with a bunch of textbooks laying around at the moment...micromass said:I already have two gold memberships though, so can I donate this to somebody?
I'll take the next screenshot!Greg Bernhardt said:Bets for 5 million anyone? :D

Did something happen around October/November in 2011? There's a peak that goes all the way up to 3000.

I think this is a general trend for internet boards, and not related to homework. I know the same trend (lower activity at weekends, holidays and hot summer months) from a gaming-related board, where you would expect the opposite for the first two factors.Drakkith said:Exactly the time when people aren't doing homework!

That was Sept 14, 2011, a Wednesday, and probably the second or third week of university for many students in the US.mishrashubham said:But what about that peak that goes to 3000 posts?
Ah, I had searched to see if it was a spam attack, but nothing came up around that time frame.Astronuc said:That was Sept 14, 2011, a Wednesday, and probably the second or third week of university for many students in the US.

Good timing though. So we re-approach the 4 million post milestone.Greg Bernhardt said:Sorry folks I deleted the science jobs forum and that resulted in a 10k post drop.

That is a cheap method to increase the frequency of milestones :p.Greg Bernhardt said:Sorry folks I deleted the science jobs forum and that resulted in a 10k post drop.
OK. I thought that might have been aggressive, but I have no idea at what rate posts accumulate. Of course, if micro is hell-bent on posting #4M, he might flood the forum. :tongue:Astronuc said:It should take about 7 days to recover 10 K posts.

Reaching a million views on a PF thread is a significant milestone because it means that the thread has generated a lot of interest and engagement from the community. It also indicates that the topic of the thread is relevant and valuable to readers.
The time it takes for a PF thread to reach a million views varies greatly and depends on several factors such as the popularity of the topic, the quality of the content, and the level of engagement from the community. Some threads may reach a million views in a matter of days, while others may take months or even years.
Some strategies for increasing views on a PF thread include creating a catchy and informative title, regularly updating the thread with new content, promoting the thread on social media platforms, and actively engaging with readers by responding to comments and asking for their input.
Yes, reaching a million views on a PF thread can lead to various opportunities such as collaborations with other scientists or researchers, invitations to speak at conferences or events, and potential media coverage for the topic of the thread.
Some potential challenges that may arise after reaching a million views on a PF thread include managing a large number of comments and responses, addressing any misinformation or negative comments, and maintaining the quality and relevance of the content to keep readers engaged.
