MacRumors Forums, the discussion board section of MacRumors, has reached a milestone: one million posts. The one millionth post was made by member edesignuk, a long-term member of the forums, at 5:01 EST (6:01 EDT) on Monday, August 23, 2004, in the Community Discussion forum. Congratulations, edesignuk, and congratulations, MacRumors!

See the new link in my sig 😀 Nothing to exciting, but to the point 🙂.
 
How much time...

did macrumors.com need for the 1M post?

Does anyone has calculated when is the 2M expected?
 
congratulations macrumors - i check this page ever day - a very good source of information - and the friendly banter sometimes between members makes for good reading - here is to two million posts
 
congrats mr e! I remember talking to you about our mutual interest in Keira Knightly along with many mac related subjects!

Congrats.

But with that said, I think what makes Macrumors the best forums on the web is the quality of the posts. Informed Mac folks posting with humor, smarts, and rarely a personal attack out there.

I just hope we keep the focus on quality, not quantity. It's a nice milestone to celebrate, but Macrumors needs to ensure it's forums don't end up like Spymac...where it's 90% filler with people trying to increase their post counts for no reason whatsoever. (A shame, since they used to have a great community.)

Sorry edesign, but I liked your old 'tar better.

Anyway, congratulations on the milestone, I had an inkling it might be you, and to Arn and the other Demi-gods and administrators, and moderators, and to the other members, Well-done, and lets look forward to 2 million!
 
Ok.. Time to throw something on the table..

My guess is that there are a couple of people who make a hobby out of it, to just rate every single newsitem Negative.

How come this one has (had) 8 NEGATIVE rates?? How can this be negative?

I noticed this on EVERY single thread as long as I am here.

Is it a vast clan of Wintel Spy's that want to trash any Mac news?

Let's hunt them down and go for the kill... 😡

Actually, news can easily be rated..

good news is rated "Good"
Bad news is rated "Bad"

How can that be difficult?

Everything that helps Apple, or introduces new features, free stuff, or new things coming to Mac is good news, not?

Every feature, or hardware spec that are equal or better than the competition is good right?

Every thing that is less then realistically achievable is bad isn't it?

Everything that puts a bummer on things that have to do with apple is bad..

It's as simple as that..

But you don't rate this thread negative..

you don't rate G5 delays as positive!


feeeewww.. glad I've got that of my chest!

I rarely rate stories, but I made an exception and rated this one negative immediately. I was curious to see 1) if others would follow and 2) how long it would take before someone submitted the obligatory "why are people rating this item negative?" posting. Nearly an hour, I'm impressed. 😀

So you're the one!! And I was just about to jump on and submit the obligatory "why are people rating this item negative" as well!! 😛
 
Congrats edesignuk!

And sometimes people rate things negative by accident. You go to click on something, and click on the wrong button. Happens all the time. Sometimes people just do it to mess with people (as per above). And sometimes it's just jealousy.

You know you wanted the glory that is the millionth post all you negative voters. 😛
 
Congrats to all...
Although I haven't read ALL the posts, I have found the forum to be informative on items I knew little about, helpful when I have had a problem and entertaining whenever I read it.

Long live MacRumors!!

Yes, let's hope "Tonkin" and "AQUAMANN" don't find their way over here.
