500,000th post

Looks from the front page of the miles forum that we are swiftly approaching half a million posts - Whoo-hoo!!

There should be a prize for the half millionth poster. Is it possible to tell who actually posted number 500,000.

Sorry for the frivolity of this post, but like milestones and thought it would be ironic if we could get the 500,000th post in a thread about the 500,000th post.

Cheers,

Rob

I very much doubt that doc, Rudi and I (to take just 3 examples that come to mind) have posted well over 10% of all FT posts? No idea what the actual post figure is, but must be into the millions by now?

Maybe when FT was split into different sections, they reset the counters to zero or something? Or took the post count of "Travel" posts to that Forum, and subtracted from older combined figure? IIRC Randy posted recently there were a few 100,000 unique visitors to FT each week or something equally huge? Someone may recall the exact figure he used?

Looks like the current 500K counter was passed today?

The 500,000th post is only relative to the past 6 months on a rolling schedule. One would have to add up all the 4 five boards (miles, dining, travel, airports and archives) to get close and that doesn't inlcude some of the old threads we have from progra,s still to be consolidated and we've got as of now un-registered. FT is about 1.4 million posts total right now and growing as fast as ever.
