Oops... we missed it!
 
Physics news on Phys.org
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.

Good work, Evo! Can we figure out which was the "lucky" post?

Interesting. Mentors' logs show "invisible" members, like Ms Evo. Hmmmm.

We wouldn't be much good if we couldn't see everyone. :-p

We see "everything". :devil:

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

OK, what color is my underwear?
You aren't wearing underwear.
 
Oops! I'll make more effort for the 3 millionth. :wink:
 
That cracks me up. But after all, Kurdt is the best Kurdt.

Second only to MIH.

Actually, Redbelly98 was the first "Best Kurdt". MIH was the second "Best Kurdt".
 
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).

:smile: I think some older posts need to be deleted so we can get a better 2 millionth post. :biggrin:

Haha, good idea!
 
I'll write the new 2,000,000 th post! I'll probably need Evo's GOOBF card though. :rolleyes:

I'll give you one, turbo :wink:! Go crazy!
 
Pssst...over here...I've got some GOOBF cards I can sell you really cheap. They just, um, slipped in with my stuff when I cleared out my locker in the mentor's lounge...yeah, that's what happened. [/size]

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! :!)

Waoh, that's really amazing. As close to true altruism as you can come. o:)
 
We should break the 150,000 member mark today.
