[PaulCabby]

Only 69,000 to go, and almost a full month left. Keep it up!

69000/27 days = 2555 posts a day!

Why was there an extra 5,000 PMs sent in July?

Why was there an extra 5,000 PMs sent in July?

I believe Neobond posted that there was a mass spammer sending PM's to random users.

JUL '08: 1,217 registrations, 6,245 new topics, 76,072 replies, 8,238 PM's sent and 2,139,545 topic views.

Numbers are up again on last month, the PM stats aren't totally accurate as it appears we had a spammer on July 11th which resulted in 5,113 messages sent for that day. Without that days totals it comes to 3,125 or 3,225 if you count the 100 PM's a day averages for the last 2 months (still down from last months 3,306 PM's sent).

Well done guys (Y)

that would mean we need to post 2727.5 posts per day to reach 8 million for the 25 days left in september

What's considered an active poster?

Nah, it's simpler than that, it's just someone that's made a post in the last X days.

I would think the definition of an active poster would be someone who is currently in discussions and debates around the forum, and takes part in the community, and isn't posting "lol" in every jokes and funny stuff thread, those I call spammers.

But in the end, it is the admins / mods choice on what to define as an active poster. Good luck to everybody :yes:

Let's just start a conversation here about... bacon.

[Rappy Veteran]

Bacon and cheese...

[Andrew Lyle Global Moderator]

Wow... anything to make the posts huh? Bacon.. comon, it's all about Canadian Bacon :)

Just joking. I will give an update at the mid-month mark, or weekly, just to see if we are on target, and count down the last few thousand when the end of the month, or the 8,000,000 mark approaches, whatever comes first.

[QuietStorm21A]

Turkey Bacon is great! :D

As of May 7, 2008 ET, there are 357,835 posts yet to be made, 146 days left. This leaves 2451 posts per day, 102 posts per hour, 1.7 posts per minute round the clock. Easier done than said.

As of September 6, 2008, there are 64,743 posts yet to be made, 24 days left. This leaves 2698 posts per day, 113 posts per hour, 1.8 posts per minute round the clock... easier said than done.

We'll if you notice, the count per day keeps going up, and that isn't a good sign of things to come.

[Rappy Veteran]

Just a lack of things to discuss really, I remember when we had that laptop competition the posts went through the roof.

[Crazysah]

Approximately 2500 posts per day needed now. GO NEOWIN!

[Cormier6083]

I cannot wait for the sexy party!

[redvamp128]

we are so close- -- You want to talk bacon- They even have Vegetarian bacon... and evan the imitation bacon has bacon. I would have posted more but had to redo this system. Now only running Ubuntu and Puppy 4.0.

[BoJo]

All we need is a few flame wars (apple vs microsoft, xbox vs PS3 etc. etc.) and more babes from Rappy.

Ya know, if rappy cut his pictures up into less pictures per post then we could make it easily :p

Free stuff is always good, though I already have Vista. Perhaps Neobond could arrange for Bill Gates to be put in a box and mailed to me? I could always use someone to talk to and fix my computer issues.
