We reached another milestone today: Our users have posted a total of 90005 articles

Thank you all for your contributions!

Keep up the good work and pass the word about this site. And enjoy the holidays ... if any ;-)

DenSter

No it's more than that

Waldo

When we reach 100000, is there going to be a Mibuso celebration party?

DenSter

T-shirts and a trip to Europe for all MVP's?

Savatage

I'll take a size Large T-shirt please. \:D/

Luc_VanDyck

You mean a T-shirt with the text "I have made the 100.000th posting on mibuso.com".

kine

I want such a T-shirt too....

(it is crazy - after my 10day holiday I had 250 unreaded new posts, I throwed out 200 of them... first time after 3 years I missed so much new posts ](*,) )

Luc_VanDyck

I promise I'll create a "I have made the 100.000th posting on mibuso.com" T-shirt O:)

But bear in mind it must be a sensible posting, not a smiley one.

Damn, I only post smileys...

Wonders :-k

We had NOLUG 12 years ago, but historically what was the start of mibuso, did it not reset at some point in 2004, how many posts were on the old forum?

How many are repeats, like "what does FIND('=<>')" mean and "what does Integer DataItem do in a report",

Only Jesting, this is a great forum [-o<

:-k How long till the 1,000000 MVP :?:

Waldo

That's why people often refer to other posts... .

You can't blame people for not finding an answer or asking a question twice ...

You can read some history at www.mibuso.com/about.asp . The old forum was converted to the new one (including users & topics). So the first topic in this forum is dated november 1999.

Luc_VanDyck

It's now 10 days later, and we reached 91111 articles. I'll better start designing the T-shirt

Waldo

Actually, 99999 is also nice number, isn't it ?

Savatage

Well, each move does create only 1 post (my post). Or maybe you are referring to these?

Most of the posts are probably emoticons or clarifications to the poster's originally question.

Arjan_Somers

Where can you find the total number of posts? I can only find the number of posts per month on the statistics page.

[EDIT]
I found it: It's at the bottom of the forum index.
