I've been watching the post numbers clicking ever upwards, and we are now getting rather close to post 2,000,000 (I've just posted number 1,994,714).
So the question is, will there be 
for whoever clocks the 2milionth post? 
Also, is this count the number of posts since Rupert, or is it the number of posts in the history of hootoo?

You can also use the little triangles and "this is a reply...".
I found out when I wanted to be able to point to a specific post without having to use the post-number.

And all this not that long after the anniversary. Does that mean that we tend to do a round number of posts in a year?

Hmm. Interestingly, it looks like we are getting close to our 20,000th forum posting, if the F19584 thingy in the URL means anything...

Oops, after a quick test, I can now answer my own question - NO.
Sorry for that brief mad interlude, now where were we?

We are coming close to our 100,000th user though, if the stats can be relied upon... only 1700 new users to go by the looks of it.

I can see it now. Two frenzied lunatics at 2am in the morning sending 6 posts a minute just to be the first to 2 million

Not to mention song titles, limericks - pretty much anything spouting off from Orcus' 'Whose Line...' page
