Distracted by partisan politics maybe?

I wrote out a long, 4 page post about ATS's landmark 7,000,000th post mark. It was epic, and I am being modest. Detailing the many great achievements, and the many great members that made it so amazing.

Then I clicked the side bar, went back to "home"... lost my whole post. Didn't feel like re-writing. So I posted in a kanye thread.

OH that really bites,

its just a number, in a few months you will see another thread like this .

Then we will shift into another dimension, be prepared, if that is possible, which it is not, just prepare yourself for the preparedness.

That's the amazing thing for those of us that have been around for a time. When I registered there was 3600 members. We get WAY more posts in a day than we had members back then. It's something that ALL OF US have accomplished. We got here TOGETHER!!!

Interesting how quantcast show a graphical 5 months trend in visits for the site. What was that big dip from mid-june till august? Maybe more interesting is the big climb back up in September!!

I would argue that the increase in the number of posts, and the fact that congress was on vacation in August and back in September, shows that the stats are greatly influenced by discussion over politics.

Do we have a breakout of # of posts per forum?

Don't take it to personally that nobody noticed SO. What with all the great content ATS has to offer and our ever increasing media portal full of video, pics, and audio.... We have so much going on here that members are likely to miss milestones such as the 7,000,000. post.

So WOOHOO and hooray for ATS. Best darn site on the internet....(Now only if I could get paid for surfing it)

Another thought... Does anyone actually visit the home page? lol I only go there if I accidentally click the mysterious sidebar link. Otherwise, I use my favorites to visit myATS and the Firehose. Easy to miss the stats that way.

Sorry man, I was too busy taking a zillion pics at the Reno Air Races for Semper and the boys... As soon as I wolf down a couple hot dogs and a coors light or two, I'll upload them.

I do believe a zillion trumps 7 million.

Nothing like watching the Blue Angels practice outside your back door :-)

Congrats on the measly 7 mil.

WOW;
i must be the 7th million;
lucky me =)
seriously tho;
it sounds like ATS is one of the most successful forums on the internet;
congratulations

Me, a partisan?

Okay, maybe. But I try to keep it civil.

I only got in trouble with a mod once and even that was pretty minor. (?)

Anyway, what's the ETA on 10 million?

When we moved to Houston in 1980, my parents were the electric companies 1 millionth new residential customer.

We were all on TV for that. We were local celebrities for about three days.

ATS

Wow seems like just yesterday........ ATS posts alone nearing 1 million ............. Almost 2,000,000 posts for ATS! 3 and 4 got skipped then there was 5 MILLIONTH post countdown! Your predictions? then Just days away form 6,000,000 posts!!! just this past April.

Will this be one million posts in less than a year? Impressive

Way to go ATS! You have come a long way since I joined back in '04 .....I've come a long way since I joined back in '04. Thanks.

The Above Network LLC is not "a website" though.

It's a company that owns several sites with the traffic pooled together.

ATS is a website and we currently sit at 2182: www.quantcast.com...

I don't look at total posts, not sure where it is. But I've always look at ATS alexa ranking, since I have the firefox add on, within a few months or so, from about 5800 to about 5400, now at about 5000. A very fast increase, but it's only a change in traffic, everything else seems "pretty normal" to me.

I'm very happy for the owners of the site concerning this milestone; be proud of an excellent site.

I am extremely happy to have the privilege to be able to post here.

And to think...
If I (and my 1,517 posts) hadn't been here, this extraordinary achievement would have had to wait a few more hours...
It's ok... No need to thank me. Some money or free swag is always appreciated, however.
