Keep a look out for the 100 000th post - coming soon!

Will there be a prize?

Say, a one-on-one debate with Kairosfocus, for instance?

Second prize is two debates with him.

I could look at the logs, but I'll just hazard the guess that it is Kristine's first-hand account from the "Expelled" screening that is pulling in the visitors. The link has been posted on Pharyngula and Digg at the least.

Quite likely. JanieBelle's place is getting a ton of traffic from Amused Muse, and there's not even a link there in Kristine's post, just in the sidebar.

The DFW area had a major storm last night. The server was offline for a few hours and needed some hands-on intervention to get back to a happy state, but we've managed that now.

Wow, and cool - I just read that I won a prize for making the 100,000 post, and I didn't even know it.

I really don't deserve it - there are some of you here with many, many more posts than I'll ever make.

Thanks to Wesley for making it all possible.

P.S. - I'm afraid I must decline the opportunity to debate with kairosfocus - I find him a little, well, hard to focus on.

Mr DNA's screen capture indicates that the 100000th post was on the UD thread on 23rd March 2008 at 20:19 and yet there is no post on the UD thread at that time. �I suspect some sort of Manufactroversy (duh duh duuuh). The nearest is here.

(Also there's nothing on the B.W at that time. Hmm, do BW entries get new times? )

This is the 100K post. I am in the same time zone (Central Time - US) as both Jack and Mr. DNA and it shows up as 20:19 on my screen. Aren't you in jolly old England? This post should show 13:19 for you.

Do'h! you are right. Mostly. We are in front of you. I'm in Switzerland which is one hour ahead of jolly old blighty. �So the time was actually 2008-03-24 02:19 here, unless I've inexplicably screwed up again.

It was followed by a particularly crappy post from me (*), written under the influence (*), which I am relieved to say was not noted as a landmark post on this forum.

(*) see also any of my other posts.

I've wondered about that, too. I have the impression that they keep their original post times, based on the fact that they seem to get inserted before stuff that was already on the BW thread.

Don't stress about it. 4500 of my posts were total crap.

:D

Now now, false modesty is as bad as arrogance you know. It was at best 4250 posts of total crap, the rest were absolute gems. ;-)

Louis (Looking forward to post 4500 when he too can claim 4500 posts of total crap. In fact given the length of some of them, I reckon I can claim 5000 posts of total crap at post 4000!)

Henry

Since the date/time's in quoted stuff generally agrees with the date/time on the post being quoted (once timezone difference is accounted for), I conclude that posts moved to the BW keep their original date/time.

I never really paid that close attention, but I'd assume that's the case.

It would be cool if in the comment panel there were a button to switch the font to Comic Sans for quoting and/or P-A-R-O-D-Y of creationists (a la PZ Mephistopheles).

Just a thought from my shower.

Hi Stevo,

Welcome to the board. It's a rough and tumble place, much less formal than the 'Thumb.

Hang around for more than five minutes, and I think it'll become pretty obvious on which side of that fence most of our commenters fall.

(Hint: A pretty good hunk of them are actual working scientists, and a good hunk of that group are in biology.)
