Chat Event! Evo! Start the generator! Break out the popcorn!

Y'know, someone will have to do all the dirty work of sweeping those popcorns off the chat room floor. It's bad enough that the floor is perpetually sticky!

Zz.

Hmmm, we'll need to appoint a new mentor to clean the floors...
 
For those who missed it: chat is open on request of Gad (who seems to be absent)

I'll take the mentor position that you're hiring for!

*Cleans floors*

Done! :)

I'm showing 170 left as of 15 seconds ago!

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

I'm betting within the next 30min. It's going to go fast!

What?
 
When did we hit 1, 2, and 3 million?

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.
I thought the Random Thoughts thread had more posts. Oh yeah, the random thoughts thread has thousands more posts than the fukushima thread.

It does, but Random Thoughts started ~ 18 months (Sep17-09) before Fukushima, and activity only picking up after the Fukushima event.

Random Thoughts also has a lot of noise as opposed to substantive technical content.

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. :-p

Views per post is another important metric.

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. :biggrin:

I don't think we are debating quality of posts, just quantity. However, the Japan threads have gotten a lot of respect around the web. :smile:
 
Fourteen posts!

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.
