585, I reckon.
So that's what, about 100 per hour? Although the posting rate'll pick up once the UK gets outta bed

I dunno, an hour ago I figured it at 60 an hour with 600 to go, but maybe the rate has increased in that time.
Even 100 an hour means another 5 hours and I will be sound asleep then

But the posting rate is normally on the increase and potentially we'll have alot of people trying to make the magic post.

That's a very encouraging and optimistic post from a self confessed cynic, Flanker 
You may be right - 375...that's 60 in 10 mins. That gives us about an hour 'til the magic one

Which just shows the power of the DNA software is spreading to new communities across the web...

Yes, I was just trying to find out which might be the other busy communities. Here's the list of DNA sites. I think 360 is very quiet these days and the SoPs are closing down?
h2g2
360
SoP Devon
SoP Lancashire
SoP London
SoP Northern Ireland
collective
Book of the Future
Talk Buffy
Get Writing
WW2
Parent's Music Room
GD, do you know if DNA has an Info page like h2? Otherwise it might be hard finding said post.

AFAIK yes. I'm not sure whether they have handy links to them as we do in h2g2, but you can always get there with URL manipulation.

I've checked the getwriting, WW2 and Buffy info pages. Of the three the getwriting is the busiest with the 20 conversations list being 47 minutes long.

I'm having trouble find the post in question. It appears to be hidden.

And it's already dropped off the h2 Info page 
. Did you see it GD?
It's not on Get Writing.

I don't think it's on h2g2. I've got an info page that crosses the 5,000,000 barrier. ATM I'm off checking some of the other DNA sites.

Yeah Geggs I saw a page like that earlier today and thought it was a bug. Can't remember which conversation it was though.
GD, did you have the Info page open at the right time? Is that why you think it wasn't an h2 post?
