Subject: Countdown to 1,000,000 posts!

Written By: Sister Morphine on 09/13/06 at 2:48 am

By the count at the bottom of the forum index page we are at 993,954 posts and counting.  I thought it would be fun to keep a running count in this thread of how far we have to go until we get to this milestone post?  Who do you think will make it?  When do you expect it to happen?

The more prudent question, is when will Sir Phillip Eno reach 100,000 posts? Whats crazy is if he was at 100,000 at the time we turn over to 1 million total posts, that would mean 1 in 10 of all the posts on this forum are by Phillip Eno. :D

He seems to be on pace to do it by the end of this year. I never expected he'd go so far ahead of me.

I'll be lucky if I get to 80,000 before Christmas. Hopefully by then, I'll have the zip code for Pueblo, Colorado, as my tally.
Right now (68328) I have Clatonia, Nebraska. That's a town I've never heard of.

Let me 'splain: If a person were to reach one million posts in only four years, then they'd have to make 250,000 posts in one year...which would amount to roughly 20,000 a month. I don't know anyone who's that efficient. :o

There will no chance for me attaining the 100,000 the same time for I have some 15,000 post to reach 100,000 and there are only some 5,100 needed for the 1,000,000.

Which what be the best approach?

Since Utah is to the north of Arizona, you wouldn't be getting between the two states via Interstate 10; that freeway is an east-west route. I'd have to look on a map of Arizona to find out which major highways connect Arizona with Utah. Hold on a moment.

Actually, the URL does not contain the number 998123. I believe you made the one millionth "new" post...way back at the end of July. So yours was the 1,055,791st.

So this will NOT be the 998470th such post. It will be one million, fifty-six thousand, whatever.

Before this post, I have 68451, which does not exist as a zipcode.
After I make this post, I will have 68452, which is the zipcode for Ong, Nebraska (another itty-bitty town).

I realize it is that time in your zone...I was asking if you think the million will be reached before it is 10pm in your zone. That would translate to 2pm in my time zone.
Can I extend my predication of reaching the millionth on Monday to your time zone?

Before (68733): Emerson, Nebraska.
After (68734): Emmet, Nebraska.

I am wondering if the towns in Nebraska were zip-code numbered alphabetically (i.e, sorted alphabetically before the zipcodes were assigned). ??? :o

Possible, for the Postcodes in Greater London for the areas are. For instance West London starts with W, apart for W1 which is a central important area and W2 Bayswater:

W3 Acton
W4 Chiswick
W5 Ealing
W6 Hammersmith
W7 Hanwell
W8 Kensington
W9 Maida Vale
W10 North Kensington
W11 Notting Hill
W12 Shepherds
W13 West Ealing
W14 West Kensington

...though can I remind you that the full postcode bears an additional number and two extra letters, so the BBC TV Studios based in Shepherdds Bush has the postcode of W12 7RJ.

We should have coordinated allowing him the honor but we didn't think of it, & it got kind of exciting leading up to it. I didn't care if I got it or not, but was kinda hoping it was him.

In bold the next target?


The bold number, is the number of posts in this software, combined with posts and topics from older versions of this board (when it used to be smaller messageboards on seperate sites, amiright and inthe80s).

It doesn't count posts that have been deleted or lost.  It counts the number of messages still in the archives.

For some reason, I think making the 1,000,000 mark for that number got less attention.  Technically, we hit the 1,000,000 mark a year or so ago, longer if you factor in the four months of missing messages, stuff that people deleted, stuff I deleted, etc. 

All around, meaningless numbers.  I think it's just fun to see number turn over, like when your car rolls over to 100,000.  My Mustang did that two years ago.  Unfortunately the picture of the odometer didn't come out so well.

Our '92 Toyota Camry reached 100,000 miles on January 23, 1996. It took another 4 1/2 years to get 200,000. It still runs well after almost 15 years, but we haven't been driving it as much.

There are two clubs I know of in the USA, one is based in Pittsburgh and the other is a cricket team in LA formed out of down-and-outs that are taught religion and life through cricket, this club toured the UK in the late 90s.

No, you'll have some more Arizona zipcodes before you get to 90000. You have to go through Nevada as well; I'm sure the zipcode for Las Vegas begins with 89xxx.
