Eh, I want to wait for the millionth thread.... ;)

[StarbucksSam]

I'm going by thread ID... and this is indeed 100k. The main site thing is wrong, there are probably some uncounted that were deleted or whatever, but this REALLY is the 100kth thread.

Congratulations to MacRumors for this milestone. StarbucksSam, you should at this to your signature. Doctor Q will certainly be able to validate this, he is our resident numbers guru.

I have added it to my signature. I hope the good doctor can come in and validate it, that way I can feel even specialer than I do now. hehe.

This is indeed thread number 100,000, meaning it is the 100,000th thread created at MacRumors since the current forum database was created. The main forum page shows a smaller number because useless threads get deleted. There might also be certain types of threads that don't count toward the displayed total.

[Phat_Pat]

awsome 100k way to go MR! :D :D :cool:

So how many until the "real" 100,000th post? 37 more. In the morning I'm checking it again...

[StarbucksSam]

I'll be honest, I knew this was coming... and I waited ALL day for it. LOL! I'm such a supreme loser. I just love MacRumors too much to pass up the opportunity to be the first six-digit thread poster.

[Doctor Q]

Thread number 30,000 was a Private forum thread about a (false) mouse rumor, so only paid members can access it.

Thread 30,000 : Apple 3 button mouse possibly leaked (6-20-2003)

thanks stoid and amigomac for those stats

This is truly awesome Doctor Q. Would it be fair to say that we should hit 200,000 by late 2006? That is if the current posting amounts continue. :cool:

[StarbucksSam]

Don't I get like a cookie or a free hug or something?

Don't I get like a cookie or a free hug or something?

You have the privilege of listing in your signature that you made the 100,000th post on MacRumors. I am sending you a virtual hug your way via the internet. Does that help, I hope that you feel better now. ;)

Sorry I'm not at a pay grade to authorize anything else. :D

[StarbucksSam]

I'll take the hug gladly - thank you. I still want the cookie, however. Make it a really big chocolate chip one, which in my language is a Venti Chocolate Chip Cookie (decaf, lowfat).

The siggy is neato baby.

Would it be fair to say that we should hit 200,000 by late 2006? That is if the current posting amounts continue.Yes, that's as good a prediction as... Hey, wait a minute! wdlove, are you doing math? :D Nice work!

[Macmaniac]

I can swear we had some posts before April of 2001. I registered in January of 2001, and I know the main site had some kind of news thread to respond to stories. Can any of the older members remember this?
At this pace we may hit a million by 2010:)
I wonder how many posts Mr. A will have by then?

[Doctor Q]

I can swear we had some posts before April of 2001. I registered in January of 2001, and I know the main site had some kind of news thread to respond to stories.Yes, there were forums before the current generation that are based on the vBulletin software. The thread count we now rely on is only from the vBulletin era. I don't know any stats on the previous forums.

I'll be honest, I knew this was coming... and I waited ALL day for it. LOL! I'm such a supreme loser. I just love MacRumors too much to pass up the opportunity to be the first six-digit thread poster.

wow, your life sounds so exciting :p

I wouldn't make any prediction on when we'll be seeing 200k or more - the way things happen around here, its really all guess work.

Check in ~/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist. If you view it in a text editor, you'll see that MacRumors already has given you a cookie. In fact, the good folks at MacRumors give all its members cookies — regardless of whether we have made the 100,000 thread or the 1,000,000,000 thread. Bless you Arn, and keep those cookies coming!

[Doctor Q]

I like the thread number of yesterday's IBM/Apple Deal? thread: 100100. Like 100000, it's all zeroes and ones. It could be interpreted as a number in base 2 (or any base above 2, for that matter). In base 2, 100100 is decimal 36, or octal 44, or hexadecimal 24. Decimal 36 is a nice number because it's divisible by so many factors: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 36.

Another nicely divisible decimal number is 60 (the smallest positive integer divisible by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6), which in binary is 111100. So we should watch for thread number 111100. Unless, of course, we find better things to do with our time, like counting paperclips or watching repeats of infomercials. ;)

I still thought that it was fun to speculate Mr. Anderson. Each of us find different things in our life that is exciting. We have Doctor Q to keep us in line with numbers. :D

Uh............ :confused:

Without using Google (honor system here, like Mac OS X viruses) tell me this:
In what country did a masseuse have to be legally blind in order to work?

[StarbucksSam]

Oh my God you guys are SO funny. Like really. I am reading this thread and hacking up gallons of flem (I'm VERY sick, isn't that lovely?) :)

Cookies to all of you.

I would say somewhere in Asia? China or Japan are the obvious guesses.
