20,000+ posts and counting!
Posted by Jason Dunn in "UPDATE" @ 11:01 PM
Just shy of our sixth month anniversary (apparently I can't count when I said five months), we've broken past the 20,000 post mark. Thanks to all of YOU, the people who contribute to this vibrant community, this site has grown beyond a simple news site. It has become a community where, as I walk down the virtual "streets", I see names and avatars that I recognize, and the unique personalities of everyone as they share their thoughts on everything Pocket PC. If you're still a lurker, never having posted, come on in! No one will bite. In honour of our 20,000 posts, here's looking back at some of the numbers...
244 posts by Jason bragging about how great the Pocket PC is*
243 posts by Jason complaining about ActiveSync, dust, or another Pocket PC issue*
201 posts where we jab Palm with a pointy stick*
71 posts by Marlof wondering about what digital camera to get*
43 posts by Andy where he says "I love Microsoft"*
34 posts by Ed complaining about Bluetooth*
38 posts by Duncan complaining about Ed complaining about Bluetooth*
29 posts by Foo Fighter saying "I'd buy a Pocket PC if it only had [insert quasi-mythical feature here]"*
25 posts by Brad where he gets really excited about something and is the only one, but inspires others through sheer exuberance*
22 posts by people who found a lower price on an affiliate-linked product and felt it was a service to the community to post it, thus undermining the utterly feeble attempt by Jason to earn a few bucks and utterly crushing his spirit*
1 thread about aspartame that got pretty crazy*
*All of these numbers are completely fabricated of course. Who has time to count posts anyway?
What are some of your favourite threads from this site since February? The most noteworthy news, the titillating tip, the most constructively critical comment? What discussions had you coming back again and again?
