[StephenM]

Hi all,

As Simon (MrB) has pointed out, one of my posts from earlier today was the 500000th post on IceInSpace! :)

Another milestone for this great site!!! Looking forward to the next half a million. :thumbsup:

(I wonder if that entitles me to a free IIS beanie or something...:rolleyes: :D)

Cheers,
Stephen

You'd have to share it with all those who made it possible. :P

[StephenM]

Yes, that's true David.

Thanks again to all those who make this such a brilliant site!

Cheers,
Stephen

Maybe you can get the compendium for free:thumbsup:

That would be on microscopic beanie:)

Just curious.
Do posts and therefore threads have a use-by date i.e. when are they relegated to the trash?

Doesn't look like it.
The following link appears to be post#1
http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/showthread.php?p=1#post1

What appears to be post #3 is interesting... you'd think it would be #1!

The time of posting confirms the post #'s to be correct.

So, it looks like all 500000 posts could be on file.
Mind-boggling!

Regards, Rob

Oops, yeah that's right... err, here's to the next half mill! :ashamed:

That's nothing. I'm already over 1100000000 myself. (Well, in binary anyway.)

Somewhere around 2 years I reckon, unless there's some great event like Comet McNaught again causing a surge in member numbers.

Approx 700 new posts since yesterday, so ~700 days for 500k posts, ~2 years.
