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

    • I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.
    • Watch Louis Rossmann's recent experience on YouTube about trying to get a warranty replacement from Samsung. It's crazy.
    • That is the thing, how many of these people don't realise they are using AI? If they use Google Search they have no choice but to use AI. So yes, maybe half of American adults do use and I expect a lot of Uk adults do to, but I bet most of them don't realise it. Myself, i avoid the rubbish.
    • They use FREE AI. They aren't paying for this meme-generating slopware...
