Title: Your Mission, should you choose to accept it...
Post by: Leon on 04 June 2012, 05:40:12 PM
...is to get the Forum up to 50,000 posts before the Birthday Bash!

There are 40 days until the Birthday Bash, and we're 2638 posts away from the 50k milestone, so we need an average of 66 posts per day!  Can we do it?

What we need is, more:
- Batreps
- Pics
- Blogs
- Resources
- Totty

We'll have a computer available at the Birthday Bash as well, so we could even hit the 50,000th post on the day!

Let's get busy...

Is Leon going to give us a post count day by day? 

Looking at the key stats it seeemed as if we were 2224 posts away i.e. we've had about 414 posts in 5 days or so?

PLUS ONE MORE.

We're now 1858 posts away from our 50k target, so it's looking good!  51 posts per day will see the mission completed.

Yeah, we pretty well considering we're not as large as some other companies.  I think off the top of my head we get less traffic/posts than TMP and WD3, but that's about it I think?  We get more than both the Warlord forum, and the Forum of Doom, which is quite impressive.

Nik seperating every single single totty pic into single posts should do the trick ;)

Especially if they are over 18 and not oriental/partially legal :-q
