    The Count to a Million Thread hit its first big milestone last night, 50,000.

    is there any way this could be made a Post of the Day or Thread of the Day.

    cheers

    Yes. Its called "polluting the internet further with retardism".

    A noble cause.

    Do I scent a hint of condescension from Crash.

    The CTAM thread proves that the Irish School system succeeds and contributes to the further improvement of the human species.

    PS: please don't question how...

    I agree, they should've used 'i'.
    Whilst imaginary, it's still closer to an number than 'n'.

    Except 1 million isn't prime, so if you were counting in just primes, you'd never get there

    What a retarded thread. Seriously anyone who actively participates should really take a break form a computer and get outside and enjoy what the world has to offer. My first recommendation would be some form of actual human interaction.

    Seriously why boards encourages this continued type of behavior is beyond me.

    I love the logic of these messages - a person on a computer telling people to take a break from a computer.


    I am not going to defend the thread, I thought it was worth noting.

    I see your point but I think its a bit pedantic. I have about 3k posts over a period of about 8 years. I usually looks at boards for a short time most days in work or at home. I post actively in forums which I have an interest in, hobbies etc - and try to do my best to contribute positively to the discussion in hand. I just think its sad to see people with thousands of posts in a very short period of time obviously wasting a lot of their time with useless comments and threads like the count to a million one.
