How Will the 2,000,000th Post Impact Our Community?

  • Thread starter Greg Bernhardt
  • Start date
In summary: We're at 1,999,980 now...In summary, we are approaching three major milestones on Physics Forums: 2,000,000 posts, 150,000 members, and 250,000 threads. There is speculation about potential prizes for the 2,000,000th post poster and for guessing the exact date and time of the milestone. Several members are also approaching personal milestones for their post counts. As the milestone nears, the excitement and anticipation is growing.

Darn that subtraction! "I must have been sick that day."

Astro needs to brush up on his arithmetic. :tongue:

Good thing we're not counting nuclear fuel rods here.

How many? :biggrin:
I could swear that 7 was a 9.

Nuts. OK - 237 to go.

We could conceivably do it by noon CST. Go help in HW.

I know how it is. From time to time I realize that I have completely misread a thread because I didn't really see it. As my vision gets worse, so does my speed reading.

I have a case of juvenile senility. :biggrin:

If a 6 turned out to be 9, I don't mind. Point on, Mr. Businessman! You can't look like me.
 
  • #43
Looking more like 2 pm Central or 3 pm Eastern USA. Or shortly after.

So what's the prize for nailing the 2 millionth milestone? Do I get a free flight on PhysicsForums airlines to ClassicalMechanics island in the caribean? Get a QuantumMechanical rum drink with one of those Engineering umbrellas in it? Do we get a Philosophy massage from MathIsHard while laying out on the beach?

You get a nice message. :biggrin:

86 - Get smart

It's like waiting for the PF ball to decrease its gravitational potential energy.

These posts don't count do they? At least, they don't count towards personal stat counters, so I imagine they won't count towards the forum wide one.

:devil: I wonder what would happen if someone were to delete a couple of hundred posts...? :devil:

Oops... we missed it!

I could have made the 2 millionth post, but I wanted to do a screen cap, although I'm sure Greg has it.

WOOHOO!
 
  • #63
Showing 2,000,008 now. That was quick.

I didn't miss it. And I showed great restraint not to take it myself.

I also centered it so that I captured everyone that was logged in.

Interesting. Mentors' logs show "invisible" members, like Ms Evo. Hmmmm.

Good work, Evo! Can we figure out which was the "lucky" post?

We wouldn't be much good if we couldn't see everyone. :tongue:

I think Greg said he had a way of knowing who it was.
