If my math is right.......

This is the 1,000th post on this new board.

So why does the counter on teh first page say 997 ?

Obviously some programmer has two separate counters running, huh ?

Ya gotta hit refresh if you're already had a page up to get an update.

OETT,
Trust me, that's not it. Get out a calculator and try it yourself. ( Although MY EE prof would have a shit fit if anyone used a calculator for 3 rows/3 columns addition ).

APFH, deleted posts count in the subtotals but not in the grand total. There are 9 extant posts out of the 12 historical posts in the "need something for today" folder. The other 3 were straight fastballs to McGwire.

One month for the first thousand, half a month for the second thousand. We're picking up steam......

[Slinky Bender]

and slightly over 10 days for the third 1,000. The rate has increased, but I think the acceleration has decreased.

justme,
Have you figured out a formula to tell me when the next data points will occur ?

Umm... well so far we've gotten a new k at 1/1 month, 1/2 month, and 1/3 month...

7.5 days, 6 days, 5 days??? Somehow I doubt it.

Still, a guess of 7 or 8 days for the next point doesn't seem that far off. Then maybe a few week long intervals. Who knows? I'm a topologist.

Contrats, SB. I may soon become a total convert and delete *** from my bookmarks.

this makes 133 posts in the past 24 hours. assuming some drop-off on the weekend because we don't have as much time to kill when we're not at the office, we're pretty much on track for 8 days and change to hit 4k.

[HornDogBuddah]

Are there any published metrics for public boards? Startified by sexual and nonsexual content?

[guy catelli]

the 24-hour figure is in: 118

this compares with 133 for the prior 24 hours.

at an average 125+ posts per day for the 2-day period, we are still on track to hit 4000 by next thursday evening.

[frog]

of course, if gc gets lucky with a long l-o-n-g date, then we'll wait until next month...

as of 4pm, the 24-hour total is 29. this is obviously an 'outlier', due to its spanning late saturday afternoon to sunday afteroon.

GC,

I for one am really glad you're keeping track of this. Keep up the good work.

[HornDogBuddah]

I'll do my part -- here is another 1/4000

[guy catelli]

the past 24 hours yielded only 30 posts. apparently, Ozzy has something really good going that he is hiding from the rest of us ;).

going forward, the daily posting average would have to be just over 175 to reach 4000 by midnight thursday.

If you only knew the truth.

[guy catelli]

as of 4pm, the 24-hour total is 96. at this rate, 4000 posts will not be attained until next monday or tuesday.

[HornDogBuddah]

Ok, here's another 1/4000.

[guy catelli]

as of 4pm, the 48-hour total is 215. we are 3 average weekdays' postings short of 4000.

[guy catelli]

4000 posts were achieved just before 4am, 10-1/2 days since 3000 posts were reached.

[justme]

1/4 of the way there? I need a hobby.

Well it certainly can be.

[Slinky Bender]

Boy, things are slowing down ! It took forever to get to this post ( 8,000 ). I'll have to go piss in someone's coffee - at least people will complain.
