Which one carries the honor at the moment?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
One would assume the thread numbered 100,000 but that's obviously only on this PF version and I don't know if it factors in deleted threads or not.

We are approaching a million replies though :)

it didn't even get one reply though...
 
Wow, 38,000 members ??! I am guessing that's a typo .

In case it's not a typo , it would seem members aren't contributing that much these days . The average no. of threads is only about 3 per member.
 
It isn't a typo my friend, that's taken directly from the board statistics on the front page. Don't forget that some members only sign up to get an answer to their question and never will visit again. Some are also crackpots who will post their verbal diarrhea then dissappear.
