Question 4 million PF posts coming up soon

rawr · 10-24-2017, 04:01 AM

Hi Adam.

I notice the forum post count is just about to go past 4 million:

Our forum has 3,979,685 posts in 334,428 threads by 74,832 members.

In 2014 the 3 million post mark was cause for a FA 31 giveaway to the lucky 3 millionth poster. Is anything planned for the 4 million post milestone? ...

334,428 threads and just over 1% of the nearly 4 million posts are in a single thread.

(I just had to throw that in

I think a K-1 giveaway would fit the bill!

That might create some extra posting activity as the milestone gets in sight...

Agreed. 4 million is big. That's a lot of engagement and activity for a small-ish forum.

When did PentaxForums start? Was it in 2006, or did it predate that?

SJM · 10-25-2017, 07:35 AM

Wow that would be sweet...

I wasn't awake at the time we hit 4 mill but I'm wondering who was it that cracked the big number?

It was quite likely this one:
Come with me and enjoy wildlife,landscapes and some cities of South Africa - Page 3 - PentaxForums.com

I'd have to check our deletion logs to be sure, but assuming nothing was deleted within 82 posts of that, it would be the 4000000th

**savoche** · 11-23-2017, 05:49 AM

Wait, didn't we have a German snubbing the 3,000,000th post as well? Is it something in the water??

What a fitting 4 millionth post.
