At about 4:26PM PST, moderator Dave Stealey approved sent me notice (on my cellphone) of our 1 millionth comment on WUWT.
Who was it? See the screencap.
Comment 1 million is at the top of the list. Regular commenter “Jimbo” was oh so close, at comment 999,999.
My sincere thanks to Dave, who was watching for this when I couldn’t, as well as our entire WUWT moderation team, and of course, you the readers and commenters.
I’ll contact Poptech privately on where to send his coffee mug.
🙂 Congratz Poptech!
Congratulations to Poptech – and to you, Anthony, and the mods.
A coffee mug! Financed by BigOil, I’m sure…
Rats, it wasn’t me. 🙂
Jimbo: says It’s a Fix I tells ya, a Fix!! 🙂
What Jimbo must be thinking right now:
(seriously, congratulations, Poptech!
I’m Poptech.
Now let’s go for TWO million.
Congratulations Anthony. Thanks to you and your helpers. Here’s to the next million.
I want to make comment # 10,000,000
Any guesses on the date for that one?
Let’s hope the climate scams will be buried long before then….
Re my 6:53, My intended Kirk Douglas satire was ended when the comments system removed my unworthy efforts at including chevrons for html phrases. /guilt.
Congratulations!
Pretty impressive! Keep up the good work.
awesome job bringing the news that matters!
Nice!
Woah Poptech, balboa got the 1,000,000th post over on newsbusters, years ago…..Not to much weather stuff over there as of late…
Damn! I’ll bet I was 1000,001st!! Must try harder for 2,000,000th, but hope this AGW saga is buried before then.
LOL!
I don’t drink coffee so I politely declined Anthony’s gracious offer. That is still a pretty amazing number of comments and something the moderators here deserved quite a bit of admiration for dealing with.
REPLY: OK how about a t-shirt? – Anthony
Uh oh … I hate to say it it, but, you’re up to 72% utilization on “storage space allowed”!
What happens at the 100% point?
My only regrets is If I had known I would of made it about climate change *sigh*. ; )
Congratulations!! I think Michael Mann is catching up to though, I bet he has deleted close to a million comments.
Can’t believe the millionth comment was about bitcoins (which I keep mis-reading as britcoins). I suppose economic theory — and how bitcoins operate — count as some of those puzzling things in life that fall within the purview of WUWT? What is more puzzling is that Poptech does not apparently drink tea either? Or hot chocolate? There are lots of us here who would have loved to get that mug!
I wonder what mike Manns take will be on the whole thing.
“Anthony Watts in Big Oil funded mass coffee mug mail out bribe scandal” …?
“Waaaahhh! Climate denier deprives legitimate scientists of coffee mugs!” …?
Poptech – Congratulations!
Anthony and crew – excellent work; love the site!
