200,000 Posts & Other Milestones! - Page 2

Just checked the rest of the thread. We hit 200,000 just one year ago. That means it only took 1 year to hit 100,000 posts. Amazing. Especially considering how many years it took to hit 200,000.

Thanks again, Otto, and the rest of the Rogues for some very interesting reading.

The forum is like a Diesel engine, it may take time to warm up , but once it goes, it will increase speed and go on for years . It is much better than those little comet forums that will heat up here and there and vanish within month. Quality will win!

BTW, just curious, who actually got the 300,000th posting under his belt?

I think Otto got 100,000th, Sloniksp 200,000th but...

Wow, what have I missed. I've been out of the loop for so long with just stuff going on in life that i missed the 200k.

Looking forward to getting back into it

im just randomly posting lol

Wow!

Almost 20,000 postings more since early August. That should mean, I guess, that by next summer we will be passing the 400,000 postings line....

I am searching for information on how I can find the where abouts of a fallen German soldier and see if there would be a picture from him. He fell in Russia and his sister has no photo of him.

Brent

wrong forum to post your question go to Militaria and find genelogical research threads, besides his sister needs to contact WaST which has a web-site to the fallen as since she is a relative then she can make contact

Looks like we completely ran over 300,000 posts and are actually closer to 400,000! Combine these posts with the 235,000+ over at WW2Talk.com and we have a huge 589,796 posts of WW2 goodness. I'll have to come up with something nice for the 500,000 mark.

Almost 100 posts a day if my math is right (which is normally is not) and by my calculations...and C.Evans probably makes 71% of those.

Otto · #38 (**permalink**) February 11th, 2010, 12:57 AM

Over the past 7 days, our lowest post count is just over 275 posts. Four days were in the 300s and two days were in the 400s. We haven't been below 2,000 post a week for almost a year now, and this week was well over 2,500.

Of the 354,173 posts were got here, Carl makes up just under 6% of them.

And just to make his feat more amazing, he was completely inactive for two full years.

luketdrifter · #39 (**permalink**) February 11th, 2010, 01:17 AM

Was going on the 3,600 some odd days since forum inception. I was of course exaggerating about Carl's numbers...but that he was inactive for two years does make it a bit more impressive!

Otto · #40 (**permalink**) February 11th, 2010, 02:10 AM

100 posts a day on average, I see it now. Those days back in 2000 and 2001 were some very lean times. Carl was very active back then, and truthfully held well over 50% of the total forum posts in those early days.

Why not seperate the number of 'posts' further, and see just who is responsible for the most 'new threads'......my pick would be KAI PETRI.

As a newbie here, it is my understanding that Kai's posts most often result in new conversations.....I may be incorrect, but shouldn't this particular stat be reflected as well?....Or is this asking too much in the way of number crunching?

Otto · #42 (**permalink**) February 11th, 2010, 04:09 AM

There are a ridiculous number of stats that are kept here, a lot of which are available at the bottom of the frontpage. As for expanding stats, we could come up with hundreds of different ways to look at the numbers, but ultimately they all mean nothing. What counts most is the overall respect and appreciation that other Rogues have for a given member. In that regard, they are but a few that even compare to Kai in terms of combined quality and quantity.

luketdrifter · #43 (**permalink**) February 13th, 2010, 12:40 AM

I have to say, that being a fellow who sleeps little (2-3 hours per night, never in a row) I spend a lot of time looking at old threads. And I have to agree that Kai is a leader in quality. I do wonder, like I'm sure so many others do, what happens to the folks that seem to post hard and heavy for a while then just sorta disappear.

They probably go the same way as people who join up and then post one-word 'contributions' to threads - which really don't contribute much at all.

For goodness sakes..I really only need to know who has the biggest handle bar moustache...Mines coming along quite well by the way...Competition time...
