One million posts in AfterDawn.com forums

10 November 2005 14:40 by Jari Ketola | 68 comments

One million posts in AfterDawn.com forums The one millionth post was made just a few minutes ago in the AfterDawn.com discussion forums. The discussion forums were opened in late March 2001, so it took about four and a half years to reach the 1,000,000 post milestone. Obviously the majority of the posts have been made during the past year. Meanwhile our Finnish forums, which are very active indeed, are 1,000 posts short of 300,000 messages.

AfterDawn.com currently has about 450,000 registered members. Since we launched our site back in 1999 we have served over 47 million software downloads and 2.5 million legal MP3 downloads through our sister site MP3Lizard.com.

Thanks go out to all our loyal visitors! Keep an eye on our site for new, exciting features we will be launching to all our members in the not-so-distant future.

    You mean, even if I engage my Cloaking Device?

    My spaceship has a super-high-tech rootkit cloaking device which is powered by Sony's new XCP software, so he couldn't possibly find me, right? (Ummmmm......)

    P.S. Did ye get yer email? (No reply from Glass yet), and Spideymac just dropped me a PM.

    This IS a great site. I don't get to post much because 1. I work alot of hours and 2. most question are answered so fast by all here. BUT I do read quite alot of the post and pass the info along to friends and family who are in need. I have sent dozens of friends to this site because of the wealth of information that is shared here.
    1,000,000 post is alot of information shared freely. Pretty cool.

    Government big enough to supply everything you need is powerful enough to take everything you have.

    Not really, but do you know what would really be hilarious?

    If the 1,000,000-th post was made by some poor sod who actually had been booted off (banned) by one of the mods, for being an idiot!

    (It's not inconceivable). Stranger things have happened. (Look at me .... I'm still here after 3-4 years). :=)

    I can see Dela's headline now:

    AfterDawn's 1,000,000-th Poster Manages To Get Himself Banned For Being A Complete _&$#@!^*$#_

    ...Today marks the beginning of a new era in the varied and colourful life here at A/D, one of the Internet's most popular sites ever!

    Today, member <deleted> has managed to contribute the Forum's one-millionth message, -- a rambling, extended flame with no redeeming qualities, -- for which he was summarily blacklisted.

    Needless to say, he will not be receiving the coveted "Afterdawn Lollipop" for his trouble.


    Efforts are currently underway by the renowned-if-elusive System Administrator's Resident Guru dRD to unearth the 1,000,000th- and-1st posting.

    Once identified, AfterDawn will be awarding a large bag of candy to the lucky contributer!




    (Think it'll fly, Lethal?)

    no way klingy, if thats the case then the lollipop should go to the mod that banned the 1,000,000th poster :)

    Terrifically good point, Darthnip!!

    I couldn't agree more!

    (Of course, I can't really complain - I *did* receive a free A/D T-Shirt (no, really, I did) which I shall cherish always.)

    The millionth post:

    http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/255303#1435644

    So, we apparently announced the 1M few hours too early, but this is due how the post counters work -- due the technical and server limitations, automatic counters don't remove all the "invalid" messages from figures, but are close enough. The post above by kivory666 is counted in a way that all posts deleted/hidden threads are removed, posts in non-public forums are removed, deleted/hidden posts are removed and then the millionth message has been scanned (took 5 minutes for database to run that query..).

    But yep, congrats kivory666 for making the 1,000,000th post to our forums :-)

    dammit! that guy is a freakin brain surgeon!! he can afford to buy his own damn lollipops!!

    how about for the sheer joy of being the guy that made the 1 millionth post, he buys all the mods and admins and the boss a nice box of lollipops :) (or vodka, whichever)

    Counting bodies like sheep to the rythym of the war drums.

    Lol Darth, do you have an obsession with lollipops? :)

    Here's my 2 cents.

    I am glad that the millionth post was one that typifies the whole of the afterdawn community and was by an extremely intelligent and valued member here. High Fives to...

    hehehe..YAY~! so where is my lollipop AD? LOL

    well, i'm glad that my contribution of the 1,000,000th post here on AfterDawn basically summarizes the Taiyo Yuden mantra i've been preaching round on here~ :) that post was solely to help the member distinguish between GENUINE/AUTHENTIC Taiyo Yudens from the fakes~!

    @darthnip, well, becoming one of my patients, perhaps i might consider prescribing you some Grey Goose rather than typical pharmaceutical medication~ :) if you ever in my neck of the woods, i have PLENTY of Grey Goose, Level 1, and Belvedere here at my house :) take your pick and make your doctor's visit quite enjoyable~

    @drD thanks for the kudos~ AfterDawn has helped me so much since i became a member, i hope my contributions have been helpful to those that need it in regards to dvd media~ :) ooooh, do i get that special AfterDawn T-shirt the mods were talking about in the past? that would be sweet~ :)

    thanks to everyone else that brought this to my attention and for the kind words, that would be very sad indeed if i were banned for being the 1,000,000th post~ :) but it would be hilarious~!

    good day to you all~

    docTY~
