MacRumors Reaches 1,000,000 Posts

When I was going to macrumors.com today, I was wondering what they would post if there was no real mac news, lol.

I'm happy to say I make up more than 0.1% of all forum posts 🙂

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..

Like when Apple releases a new revision to something that's less than expected (aka G5 DP2.5s)?

Or when the new iPods came out and they looked (to me) the same as the old ones aside from a lower price tag and rearranged control panel?

I like Apple products as much as the next guy, but I voted both of these stories negative. These products should have been either revised to these specs sooner or have been more of an upgrade. It's a constantly moving business, are we supposed to be excited when Apple releases these minor speed/feature bumps after a year or two of zero updates??

Or what about those of us who are against iTMS (AKA DRM-depository)? Every time they release a new feature, we vote negative because we feel more people will get locked and be screwed over when Apple chips away at the 'rights' you have over your music. After all, almost every iTunes +0.1 upgrade has disabled something in some way--from interoperability with toast and such, to playlist burns, to Internet-wide music streaming.

I'm not saying these stories should be negative to everyone, I'm saying there are more than 1 perspective on many events.

Although if you don't think macrumors to 1m posts is positive I don't think you really belong here :X
 
Congratulations MacRumors.. forget edesignuk 😛

Thank you to MacRumors for providing the free community to which we are able to kill valuable hours debating what Apple will pull out of it's bottom...
 
Congrats, edesignuk!

Perhaps the celebrity and fame arising from being the MacRumors Millionth-Poster will grant you access to Keira. I'd at least hope that the BBC will pick up on it. Perhaps you can be interviewed on a morning show when she is promoting her next film?

Jeez...don't inflate his ego anymore than it already is. We'll have to bring out the horse picture and put him in his place. 🙂

Oh noes! Don't use my image macros against me! 😀 😛
 
Good job, all. I wish I wasn't out of town, away from my airport extreme. Not being able to post from bed really keep me out of here 😉
 
I'm just an ageing Apple nut-case

Congratulations!

I bought my first Apple product (an iMac) at the age of fifty. I'm now, at fifty-six, on my second (a flat-screen iMac) and I'm drooling in anticipation over the next one.

I spend many hours of my spare time just reading the Mac-sites - particularly this one. What's going on?

I spend a lot of my modest income on buying a product which I then use to read and communicate about the firm that make that product.

Is this some kind of devilish, viscious-circle contagion.

Do I need help?
 
Congrats to edesignuk for posting the million mile stone and to all else who contributed.

I think that's what used to be known as a hobby.

Not really, considering that many posts consist of nothing more than "Cool!", "That sucks!", or some other brief pointless comment like that. Am I the only one around here who wishes MacRumors had a user-moderated forum (like Slashdot or MacSlash)? I never even get to read any insightful or informative posts because I get tired of wading through all the "Me, too!"s and whatnot.

May I suggest you go elsewhere then if we're all to immature for you with our un-insighful posts 🙄

How the hell does user-moderation work?
 
Yeah!

Right anjaki. I was complicating things.

The original definition of hobby:-

a small or smallish strong, active horse: a pacing horse: a subject on which one is constantly setting off, as in hobby-horse: an early form of bicycle.

I'm just riding my bike.

Which is healthy enough.
