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.

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

WOOHOO!

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. :-p

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

You aren't wearing underwear.

Damn!

Oops! I'll make more effort for the 3 millionth. :wink:
 
  • #74
Wait, are Mentors eligible for 2-millionth-post award?
 
  • #77
That cracks me up. But after all, Kurdt is the best Kurdt.

Actually, Redbelly98 was the first "Best Kurdt". MIH was the second "Best Kurdt".
 
  • #80
I think MIH won the voting, then was promoted to Mentor so it passed to me.

At any rate as a Mentor, Kurdt cannot be Best Kurdt.

I stand corrected. Kurdt is the 3rd-best Kurdt (so far, barring another poll on chat).

Haha, good idea!

6 more users are within 20 of getting to 1000!
And I'm hereby up to a modest number of 100 posts... :shy:

I just wanted to say that Physics Forums is one of the most beautiful things humanity has created - a lots of kind people helping others understanding physics. I've had tremendous help from using this forum with all the help of you folks here. How is the forum financed? Does the administrators, mentors and homework helpers get some salary?

Thanks a lot again! :!)
