The Milestone Thread

[Duke87 1,070]

All of what information? The graph?

Mine, DT's, and vid's curves should be pretty accurate since I have several histroical post counts of theirs documented via screenshots on my hard drive in addition to my memory on the standing of things. Not as many data points for Ski, but still enough info that that should be a fairly decent curve. It's sloppet and jackie which I lacked any info for beyond where they are now and my own general memory- so for them, I actually did a bit of research and dug up a few threads from the past couple years where post counts were being discussed. Still, due to lack of precise values to plot (only approximations), their curves have a significantly larger margin of error and are really more rough sketches than any sort of precision work.

Of course, if you've got some data you think I don't have, I'll gladly look at it and make adjustments based on it....

You truly are a keeper of data, graphs and lists.

You know he should get a medal for "smartest person on ST" unless there is someone smarter. I doubt it.

[Duke87 1,070]

Define "smarter". I know there are a couple people here with higher IQs than me, but they tend not to flaunt their intelligence so much.

I guess I'm just a natural born showoff.

[wir3d 2]

Yeah I guess you are

I passed 100 posts I while ago, now I wonder how long it will be before I get to 200...

[Duke87 1,070]

Before I sign off tonight, I guess I might as well make number 13800 here.....

[un1 41]

I posted my 100th post six days ago and I have no clue when I'll get to 200. I really want to get to 220 the most!!!

This is my 190th post!

[Haljackey 17,270]

I never thought I'd see the day...

Mark 2,000 posts here. 

-When I joined, I never thought I would break 300.  Because ST is such an great site, I have gone way over that mark and I still plan to stay active.  Thanks to everyone for making this such an amazing site!

Best,

-Haljackey

[pcgirl24 3]

[Silur 3,302]

[Explodingsims 3]

And then made about 20 cosectutive posts...

[Streetwise 3]

I just passed 150 posts!!!!

[masochist 111]

I have, for the first time on any forum on the internet, reached 1,000 posts. This actually happened both here and on SC4D on the same day, posting the exact same post (an update in my CJ/MD).

1000 posts...and it only took me 2 years, 4 months and 16 days or so

Just to put that in perspective, I made it to 1000 posts in October or November of 2003... meaning it took me about 3 or 4 months. And if you factor in the fact that at the end of August I had about 5 posts to my name, it's really more like 2 or 3.

So yeah, you're slow.

And for sake of personal comparison, here are my current post counts and join dates at various sites:

SC3K official site: 57                             (June 11, 2002)

SC4 official site: 181                             (February 22, 2003)

Simtropolis: 13932                            (July 24, 2003)

Keenspot: 82                                       (April 16, 2004)

Bob and George: 26                            (April 19, 2004)

Sprites Inc: 25                                      (May 1, 2006)

Sporeum: 84                                        (August 21, 2006)

The Undersquare: 164                         (January 14, 2007)

Rockman Perfect Memories: 46             (October 30, 2007)

Megaman Community: 150 or so          (site is defunct)

+ a few other sites where I have less than 10 posts

Almost 14,000 posts here (I'll probably be there in a week), and yet I've never even gotten to 200 anywhere else. Don't you feel special?

As I've said before: not having a life really helps.

[un1 41]

I have this strange way of finding my next 100th post.

500th post: maybe Thursday or Friday/ May 8 and 9.

600th post: Friday or Saturday/ May 16 or 17.

Well, according to your profile, you average 12.70 posts per day. That value obviously will change with time but assuming it stays constant (which depending on your future posting pattern may introduce very little error or a huge amount of error) it's easy to extrapolate out with it. You have 470 posts as of this writing, so that means that to reach certain milestones you will require:

500 posts: 2.36 days (May 9, 2008)

600 posts: 10.24 days (May 16, 2008)

700 posts: 18.11 days (May 24, 2008)

800 posts: 25.98 days (June 1, 2008)

900 posts: 33.86 days (June 9, 2008)

1000 posts: 41.73 days (June 17, 2008)

2000 posts: 120.47 days (September 3, 2008)

3000 posts: 199.21 days (November 21, 2008)

4000 posts: 277.95 days (February 8, 2009)

5000 posts: 356.69 days (April 28, 2009)

6000 posts: 435.43 days (July 15, 2009)

7000 posts: 514.17 days (October 2, 2009)

8000 posts: 592.91 days (December 20, 2009)

9000 posts: 671.65 days (March 9, 2010)

10000 posts: 750.39 days (May 26, 2010)

11000 posts: 829.13 days (August 13, 2010)

12000 posts: 907.87 days (October 31, 2010)

13000 posts: 986.61 days (January 18, 2011)

14000 posts: 1065.35 days (April 6, 2011)

15000 posts: 1144.09 days (June 24, 2011)

20000 posts: 1537.80 days (July 22, 2012)

25000 posts: 1931.50 days (August 21, 2013)

30000 posts: 2325.20 days (September 18, 2014)

Or, to put it in terms of an equation:

t=12.7*(p-470)

where p is the post count and t is the time in days after today (May 6, 2008) necessary to get there.

[JakeMD 107]

Well, I just reached eight hundred today!

[Explodingsims 3]

Make a not of this date people!

For today, is my 1000th POST!!

Now, to reach 2000 posts!

[Duke87 1,070]

Okay, here's #14000

Which is more of a milestone than it sounds like for this reason: there is a member by the name of sloppet. Perhaps you remember him. According to his profile, he has 21357 posts... however, that figure is incorrect. An admin messed with the number a while back (for amusement purposes or something), the real number is closer to - you guessed it - 14000.... thing is, since the data was tampered with, we don't know exactly what the real number is, we only have a general idea.

Point being, this means that I will soon pass him to (re)take the number 2 spot in terms of top posters, if I haven't already. He doesn't show up anymore, so it's doubtful he'll take the position back.

Now then, that just leaves jackie....

.....heh, who am I kidding. Nobody's ever dethroning her.

[Patricius Maximus 236]

This is my 250th post. My posting per day has grown in the last week. I'll report back when I reach 500.

This is Patricius Maximus.

Signing off.
