It took 685 days to get 1 million posts, and we're a lot busier now than then. I'd estimate 550 +/- 50 days, or around Aug 4, 2014.Greg Bernhardt said:Bets for 5 million anyone? :D

Astronuc said:I seem to be wrong on activity (posting that is). It is cyclical, and has trended somewhat down.
It might take around 650 days give or take, or less if the members online increases.
The visitors have certainly gone up. We routinely have 5000 or more guests online.
The next milestone is 400,000 members, 600,000 threads or >10,000 persons online
I donated some years back when I didn't understand anything (actually, I still don't understand anything), but I'd love to have Gold membership again! I'm just broke and jobless with a bunch of textbooks laying around at the moment...micromass said:I already have two gold memberships though, so can I donate this to somebody?
I'll take the next screenshot!Greg Bernhardt said:Bets for 5 million anyone? :D

Did something happen around October/November in 2011? There's a peak that goes all the way up to 3000.

I think this is a general trend for internet boards, and not related to homework. I know the same trend (lower activity at weekends, holidays and hot summer months) from a gaming-related board, where you would expect the opposite for the first two factors.Drakkith said:Exactly the time when people aren't doing homework!

That was Sept 14, 2011, a Wednesday, and probably the second or third week of university for many students in the US.mishrashubham said:But what about that peak that goes to 3000 posts?
Ah, I had searched to see if it was a spam attack, but nothing came up around that time frame.Astronuc said:That was Sept 14, 2011, a Wednesday, and probably the second or third week of university for many students in the US.

Good timing though. So we re-approach the 4 million post milestone.Greg Bernhardt said:Sorry folks I deleted the science jobs forum and that resulted in a 10k post drop.

That is a cheap method to increase the frequency of milestones :p.Greg Bernhardt said:Sorry folks I deleted the science jobs forum and that resulted in a 10k post drop.
OK. I thought that might have been aggressive, but I have no idea at what rate posts accumulate. Of course, if micro is hell-bent on posting #4M, he might flood the forum.Astronuc said:It should take about 7 days to recover 10 K posts.
