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.

We should reach 2,000,000 posts within the next two weeks! WOW! Also coming up to 150,000 members. Pretty incredible! Perhaps the 2,000,000th post poster will get Gold membership for life. :approve:

How convenient that we should hit 3 milestones at almost the same time.

You may be on to something there. Shouldn't we be celebrating the 2,097,152th (= 221) post?

Oops. Sorry about that. Do you happen to know what 2,149,949 stands for?

It's probably the total number of posts made. Posts in General Discussion and Politics and World Affairs don't count.

they do in the general count, but it just doesn't add to anyone's individual counts. the number is past 2mil on post ids because the difference is the number of posts we have deleted. The number isn't generated every refresh.

I know, I'm kidding, like a child in a car repeating "Are we there yet?"
