AFF's 500,000th post thread....

[QF WP]

Does that mean Moores law is applicable to forum post counts, in other words, doubles every two years?

I'm sure as a moderator you could find the threads for 200,000 and 300,000 easier than me and tell us how long between each?

100,000 came up on 30 Jan 2008,4 years and 3 weeks later we pass 500,000 so roughly 100,000 a year over that period but 100,000 just in the last 7 months-Interesting.

At ~500 posts a day 600,000 would be ~200 days or ~6 months where as 750,000 posts would be ~500 days or well over a year.

I guess we can aim for 600,000 posts for now and take things from there....

Maybe a few people have been going to BWS for those bonus points, but yeah not much on TV.

Congrats Reggie.

Now we watch for the post count to slow down to a trickle all of a sudden
