~94 to go, so maybe in the hour or two.

I thought the Random Thoughts thread had more posts. Oh yeah, the random thoughts thread has thousands more posts than the fukushima thread.Astronuc said:Mar 18-11 (helped by the Fukushima NPP accident)

At 09:40 pm EST, still ~50 to go, so perhaps within the next 30 to 50 min.
The rate is about 1-2 posts/min with occasional spurts.

It does, but Random Thoughts started ~ 18 months (Sep17-09) before Fukushima, and activity only picking up after the Fukushima event.Evo said:I thought the Random Thoughts thread had more posts. Oh yeah, the random thoughts thread has thousands more posts than the fukushima thread.
When it started doesn't matter, it's the overall contribution to the post count that matters, Random Thoughts has contributed more posts than a natural disaster. :tongue2:Astronuc said:It does, but Random Thoughts started ~ 18 months (Sep17-09) before Fukushima, and activity only picking up after the Fukushima event.

Isn't most of the Japan thread just copies of the news and other announcements? You are really touchy about that Japan earthquake thread. This thread is about the number of posts.Astronuc said:Top 5 posters:
rootX 1,732
HeLiXe 1,518
turbo 1,308
Evo 1,180
lisab 1,125
Views per post is another important metric.

Actually, it's a compilation with some analysis, and it is probably the most complete record of the event on the internet. Note that we had to split off topics into three or 4 other threads, and unfortunately, we lost the other large thread on Unit 3's explosion.Evo said:Isn't most of the Japan thread just copies of the news and other announcements?

This is the 4,000,000th post

No one cares, this is about the 4 millionth post.Astronuc said:Actually, it's a compilation with some analysis, and it is probably the most complete record of the event on the internet.

I want it.micromass said:Thanks!
I already have two gold memberships though, so can I donate this to somebody?
Drakkith said:Greg, did you ever in your dreams imagine PF would reach 4 million posts and half a million threads when you started it?
LOL!Greg Bernhardt said:When I started PF, all I cared about was getting that extra credit to pass my physics course :D
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.
