When Off topic becomes On topic.

Can we easily figure out how many Cfc posts are made on average in a day? That number must be somewhere. TF can probably get if each forum too.

Past averages wouldn't be that indicative of current averages, as the site has grown.

But we can monitor it very easily. At 1535 my time, we are 419 posts over 1 million. Checking posts after a few hours, a day, a few days will give us an estimate of how many posts per day will happen for the rest of the year.

assuming Rik's 1.12pm timestamp on the screenie is from GMT (I think holland is gmt+1 or 2, but going with GMT will err on the low side), that's 419 posts in 15 1/3 hours, ~650 posts per day, ~240k in a year.

*edit* can't even remember my own timezone, due to daylight saving.

If Rik's timestamp was GMT, that's ~700 posts per day, ~256k per year

GMT+1, ~275k

GMT+2, ~298k

Maybe we can get a thread stickied that we update to show posting progress. Not that I want to encourage spam. This project is much bigger than that.

EDIT: How about a counter on the forum that keeps track for us? What do you say TF?

 

[Ultima Dragoon]

Geez, i'm away for a few days and you guys break the million mark!

Great job.

 

[The 777 Hoax]

Happy New Year... may this new set of 365 days bring us many more posts of the Off-Topic variety (lifts wine glass filled with non-alcoholic beverage, since he is only 13.)!

*clinks cody_the_genius's glass with own glass of Pepsi with ice in it*

Happy new year. Or is this OT's Christmas pressie?

 

[Genocidicbunny]

No you didn't.

Not all 375 of your posts are OT, and that 375th one was after the million mark.

so its closer 100 here, so sue me..i still pitched in

Yeah, but that's like 1% of 1%, which is squat.

 

[classical_hero]

Does that person get a prize for being the person who made the 1 millionth post, whoever it was?

 

[Genocidicbunny]

Yeah, but that's like 1% of 1%, which is squat.

its more than none!! but lets not argue now and peacefully celebrate the new year shall we?

 

[BCLG100]

its more than none!! but lets not argue now and peacefully celebrate the new year shall we?

well if you continue the pointless argument means you'll contribute more to the OT count for next year

Sorry to mess up your calculations; I didn't take the screenshot ...

 

[The Last Conformist]

Oh my ... this means more than one percent of all posts here are mine ...

 

[gimhalos]

*snicker* doctor evil.... 1 million is NOTHING by today's standards... large companies make billions quarterly

Then I demand.... one hundred BILLION dollars


Seriously though, nice job taking that screenshot... 1 mil is insane

 

[SoCalian]

oh, thats brilliant! I love the shot, perfect tread, and you got it on exactly 1 mil.

 

[blackheart]
