TWO Million posts!
on: September 21, 2019, 01:20:17 PM
Yesterday at some point we hit TWO MILLION POSTS here on the forum.  It doesn't seem like that long ago that we were looking at hitting one million posts and here we are, at twice that!

We still have the same difficulties as the last time, which will result in TWO members having the distinction of having made Post # 2,000,000.

The first member will be the one with the post # 2,000,000, obviously, but, as we have also had many spam posts deleted over the years, and don't really count them as having contributed to the forum, we also have a corrected post count, in which we have to take the total number of deleted posts and subtract that from the current post count to determine who has the actual, corrected 2 Millionth Post.

Regardless of how you handle the accounting, it is a HUGE milestone for us- the first million took us 8 years to reach, and five years later, we have doubled it.  I would estimate that if things keep progressing as they have, we will be looking at hitting three million in about 3 to 3.5 years... or if Speedy sticks around, sometime between Christmas and New Years!  :P

So what are we doing to commemorate hitting 2 Million posts?  Well, the members that are identified by our crack team of mathematicians, technicians, scientists and waffle makers will each receive one of the brand new 2 Million Post chips, just for being blabbermouths!  :D

For the rest of you, these will be made available for purchase for only $6 US, including shipping. 

When we broke our first million posts, we dedicated the honor of the milestone to Hawkchucker John and Travis, both of whom passed away in the months before we made it.  We've had quite a few members pass away since then, and I would like us all to think of at least one of them that we knew and dedicate the excitement to them.  I was closer to some than others myself, and I would hate to pick out some names and miss others, because here at MTO, every member matters.

Lastly, and I know I am long winded, so this will be the end (for those still reading!) I want to thank everyone out there for getting us this far.  What started as a rinky dink little forum in the early days, often with me signed in under different names on different browsers and arguing with myself to generate posts has truly grown into something we can all be proud of.  And, if you have even one post here, then you are a part of Multitool.org, and have every right to celebrate with us.

For those lurkers that have never posted,  there is lots of time to pop in and say Hi, because we have a whole heck of a lot more milestones to make in the future, because Multitool.org is here for the long haul!

So you subtract spam posts to find a corrected 2 millionth post??

Do you also subtract Speedy-posts?
'cause we'll be below the 2mil mark then for sure :dwts:

A great place to learn about things sharp and many other subjects with a world perspective. 

I am not aware of another forum that does this and also have great members respectful of each other. 

Great job Grant and Team!

Give all of yourselves a pat on the back.  Keep the keyboards going and the great conversations going.  I was here when we hit a million and I cannot believe how quick we hit this million.  Y'all are some of the chattiest albeit knowledgeable people in a wide range of topics.   :cheers: to our members.

Hey I should get credit with speedy’s high post count since most of them are under that one subject that Steve said he was going to rename since it’s pretty much only us two any more,  heck I broke over my 22k post putting up with him, :neener: lol

You have a point. From this day forth your name shall be “Speedy’s Helper”.

That will have to suffice till we find a name with more of a ring to it. Now go Speedy’s Helper, and help Speedy  :D
