Seriously though, I am too surprised by how little involvement the founders had. Kind of disappointing really

Maybe they just aren't big fans if counting backwards, posting random numbers, or writing three word stories... It's seems that's pretty much all milepoint is about these days. Well that and posting about how friendly they all are

The key, I think, is that MP is the common 'base' for the other ventures like blogs, FTUs, MegaDos, etc. So no matter how moribund it becomes it serves a role of tying their businesses together.

all the posts may have been in a handful of huge increments
individual threads could be looked at to see about this
and there is also the possibility of threads moved into forum

Can someone explain the purpose of all the Milepoint "Countdown", or "Random Number" threads?
I understand the site benefits as the pageviews/posts get counted. But why do the members waste their own valuable time with this?
