we got 5 more months to get 300,000 posts

acording to previous months statistics we should be able to do it, unless we have a sharp decline in posts.

i want to see how many posts we've had this month since the announcement :D

I assume it would be a lot more!

I expect the number of PM's to be higher this month, as well as forum posts, but not topics.

for the month of june, I predict that we will see a shortage of topics and forum posts, but an increase of PM's... thanks to games like Neowin Mafia

If you tally the numbers from just the month of May, you will see we only hit 66,000 posts.. and we need on average, 70,000+ to actually hit our goals.

According to the average ppm (posts per month), we will hit 7,983,939 posts by Oct. 1st, but that is based on averages, which don't apply due to forum expansion (exponential growth). I am estimating about 8,069,787.7 posts by Oct. 1st 2008 :p. Can we place bets on numbers and whoever is closest wins the Vista Ultimate x64? I think that would be much more fun :D

That is a good idea, on betting who is closest to the actual post count on October 1st. But people would need to put there numbers in before june.. or else it won't be fair :p

I guess I need to increase my spam post count :D

    • Not even an OLED display on the laptops. Also it seems that the laptop design isn't the same as the Surface Ultra model. Looks like bargain bin at high prices.
    • make your own notch - it's not that hard
    • VirtualBox 7.2.10 by Razvan Serea VirtualBox is a powerful x86 and AMD64/Intel64 virtualization product for enterprise as well as home use. Targeted at server, desktop and embedded use, it is now the only professional-quality virtualization solution that is also Open Source Software. Presently, VirtualBox runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, and Solaris hosts and supports a large number of guest operating systems including but not limited to Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, 7, 8, Windows 10 and Windows 11), DOS/Windows 3.x, Linux (2.4, 2.6, 3.x, 4.x, 5.x and 6.x), Solaris and OpenSolaris, OS/2, OpenBSD, NetBSD and FreeBSD. Some of the features of VirtualBox are: Modularity. VirtualBox has an extremely modular design with well-defined internal programming interfaces and a client/server design. This makes it easy to control it from several interfaces at once: for example, you can start a virtual machine in a typical virtual machine GUI and then control that machine from the command line, or possibly remotely. VirtualBox also comes with a full Software Development Kit: even though it is Open Source Software, you don't have to hack the source to write a new interface for VirtualBox. Virtual machine descriptions in XML. The configuration settings of virtual machines are stored entirely in XML and are independent of the local machines. Virtual machine definitions can therefore easily be ported to other computers.

    • OK, now ask yourself how are they going to enforce that law? By requiring every single adult to prove their age and provide their legal identity documents to an UNREGULATED 3rd party company that already has a long track record of multiple data breaches. Not to mention, parliament have voted AGAINST this ban, twice, and Starmer is going ahead anyway. So, where's the democracy here, because that looks like dictatorship to me. The solution here is parental responsibility, not government control. Run some public service announcements on TV and UK social media teaching parents how to setup parental controls. That's already been proven to actually work. But the, this is not and has NEVER been about keeping kids safe. It's about control and monitoring. Watching what you're doing online and controlling what you can see and what you can say.
    • Interesting read. I knew the adware was quite controversial at the time, however never realised to the point The Guardian wrote an article about Patchou. I just said no and enjoyed his creation, I’d probably be a lot more wary of something like that today though.
