Big Board

Havoc · #1 08-13-2011, 12:20 AM

Just noticed we're only like 150 posts away from becoming an official 'big-board'. 500.000 posts! Whoohoo!

Phylum · #2 08-13-2011, 12:55 AM

And how do you suggest we fix this?

STM · #3 08-13-2011, 02:12 AM

Everyone stop posting?

What is a big board? Do we gain any recognition or something?

So I decided to look up a big board to compare us to and found that Gaia Online has 1,960,096,098 posts, with 25,088,220 members. I'd only vaguely heard of it before. Interested in how it could possibly be so big I looked it up, and saw that that they had a special section for Harry Potter discussion. There I found quite possibly the best fanfiction ever written, and I thought I had better share it with you all. Here it is.

Do threads in necrum contribute to that number? Also Havoc is this just an attempt to get there faster?

EDIT: Also the 14^th largest board is invisible!

Will this add to my gamerscore at all?

Big board?

moxco · #8 08-13-2011, 06:06 AM

Google?

Mudokon_Master · #9 08-13-2011, 03:45 PM

How many other 'Big Boards' are there?

Havoc · #10 08-13-2011, 03:53 PM

A lot.

Mudokon_Master · #11 08-13-2011, 04:02 PM

What do we get for being a big board?
What does Alcar get?

Oh yeah and grats people - Though I'm surprised this forums hasn't passed the 500,000 post count mark already considering how long it's been here for.

STM · #13 08-13-2011, 04:31 PM

Funny, it's been 10 years to reach this point, by rate of growth and number of permanent members increasing, we should reach 1,000,000 before 2020.

BroVen · #14 08-13-2011, 04:38 PM

How does 4chan have 69465 members?
And offtopics.com is the largest vb board rly?

We will easily reach 1000000, as long as OWI and Jaw keep doing stuff.

I think they can only track total number of unique IPs at any one time for 4chan. According to their statistics, every poster would have had to make just over ten thousand posts.

More traffic. More popularity. Pride?

Dynamithix · #19 08-14-2011, 05:56 AM

Yeah well that's what we definitely want, right? Right?

***Wil*** · #20 08-14-2011, 06:53 AM

I for one welcome more dipshit new fucking members. Uh, I mean, protecting vulnerable new members from you arseholes. Uh, I mean... Cock.

STM · #21 08-14-2011, 07:35 AM

You welcome more cock. Right.

Let's be honest, more than half the members here don't want anyone new and if they could irreversibly stagnate this forum until it was the computerised parody of a Texan couple that shared the same parents, they would.

Wings of Fire · #22 08-14-2011, 07:58 AM

Shut up.

Hah.

This one takes the cake.

DarkHoodness · #24 08-14-2011, 02:00 PM

Oh, there's a video for that too.

Havoc · #25 08-14-2011, 04:21 PM

To this day I don't know if that guy is for real or not. Despite Icton making such awesome parodies of it.

Phylum · #26 08-15-2011, 02:29 AM

We're over 500000 now by 87 posts. Can we work out who made post number 500000?

***Wil*** · #27 08-15-2011, 02:53 AM

I could easily do that if Peter gave me access to the database.

Laser · #28 08-15-2011, 03:37 AM

Next stop 1 MILLION posts! Only another decade to go!

***Nate*** · #29 08-15-2011, 03:41 AM

If you include deleted posts, this one was the 500,000th and it actually occurred in May.

My post is the 509,848th post. Which means that we must have almost 10,000 posts deleted, in Necrum and in W&B.

Laser · #30 08-15-2011, 03:44 AM

Shame it wasn't something more meaningful really.
