The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

100,000 posts?

Would not such a special event as this one make the sun shine brighter, the air taste sweeter, and the birds sing louder so we will all know instantly when that message has been posted? :lol

Yeah, me too...  I also might look to see who's having a birthday, or who else is online at the same time that I am, etc...

Well, we won't be able to reach it this month...
(Unless everyone goes spaming!   :wow )

But I'm 100% sure that we'll reach it within May!

We very well could...  But, to quote a line from Ruby:

"Don't count your hatchlings before they hatch, Chomper!"

So...  You never know...  We just might do it...!

From a mathematical point of view, we will reach 100,000 posts at our current rate.

Well..yes... I think the only question is the"when", not the "if".

My current prediction is that we'll reach 100,000 before May 15.

That's a very reasonable prediction, Chronicler.  I could definitely see us reaching it by that time...

And we may even reach it before May 15th, you never know. :wow

EDIT: Never mind i found it. My eyesight must be pretty bad to not notice it.

He'd better; who wouldn't???  It'll be a pretty BIG milestone for this board!

Yeah, a small group of people slowly growing making 100,000 posts is awesome, and a party just adds to it. :^.^:

Wow; were about a couple hundred posts away from 98,000!  I've watched it grow by about 150 posts a day!  At this rate, yeah, about a week after my not-so-big-2-3...
