PF Thread Milestones: Reaching a Million Views and Beyond
- Thread starter jtbell
- Start date
Click For Summary
The Lame Jokes thread on Physics Forums is nearing one million views, currently at 1,000,038. Discussions highlight the significance of large threads, with the Fukushima incident thread previously surpassing a million views shortly after the disaster. There is debate over the value of lengthy threads, with some arguing they often contain repetitive discussions and are difficult to moderate. The forum is also approaching a milestone of four million total posts, with excitement building around this achievement. Overall, the conversation reflects on the dynamics of thread popularity and the nature of online discussions.
Just takes a little calculation :)

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!

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.Astronuc said:

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

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:

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.

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?
