Not sure where else to post this so that you will see it, but as I write, your blogstats are sitting at 99,965,942 views … so your blog is rapidly approaching a very significant milestone – which I anticipate will probably be reached within the next day or so (if not sooner!)
May I suggest that you start a Countup thread, so that lurkers and fans may express their thoughts as this milestone approaches … This will build excitement and traffic – and confound the “powers that wannabe”, I’m sure 😉
On one hand it thought to myself “it’s just a number, no big deal” on the other hand I thought “this only comes once, and a number of people have emailed me about it, so there must be some excitement going on”.
So, who am I to argue with the lady? Sound off below.
It is inspiring that a blog simply devoted to discovering truth has been so incredibly successful. When one fears that all mankind has morphed into lemmings this site proves there are still inquiring, rational human minds out there. Lets toast 100,000,000 !
Thanks for all your hard work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best of the Web!
For many, many years I felt very lonely in my reluctance to accept CAGW.
It seemed as if the whole world had swallowed the Lie and although I had my pre-Warmism
meteo data and text books, as well as my history books for support…there were times I thought that maybe I ‘was’ a nutty, fringe dwelling, contrarian denier. (not many admittedly)
One hundred million hits on a website that Google keeps stashed away on page 46…tells me that the tide has turned.
I don’t always agree with everything everyone says on here, and despite the shameful behaviour of so called Environmentalists I still think of myself as caring about the ecosphere…or habitat or whatever it’s called nowadays.
I do however value and respect the fantastic efforts (mostly unpaid) of very bright amateur Scientists who have shown up the Climategang for the nasty, greedy self aggrandizing fraudsters they so clearly are.
So, well done Anthony and Team.
Well done FOIA.
One HUNDRED MILLION events that give us all a bit of hope.
I raise my glass to WUWT, the Millennium Falcon of science blogs, as it crosses the 100M mark of visits.
Thank you, AW, and all your “mad scientist” followers (including me)!
Bah Humbug — 99,999,999 are mine!
Fantastic!
Anthony Watts the 100,000,000 hit man.

Google search on “Global Warming” finds WUWT on page 24, it was on page 32 for me this time last week.
Thanks for all your hard work WUWT team!
WUWT gets 100 million views…… The Mayan calender predicts 2012 as the end of the world.
The two coincide!
OMIGOD!
(keep up the good work Anthony 🙂
Anyone started a book on this?

Anthony, this site is a beacon of sanity in a world of madness.
Many thanks to you and your hardworking helpers.
Didn’t take long to hit this number. 🙂

Thanks Anthony, mods, posters, commenters, and so on. So, the first 100,000,000 took awhile. The next 100,000,000 should happen a little faster. What a hoot! Just keeps getting better. Counting . . .
I guess this is a cause for more then just three cheers. Thank you Anthony for all that you have done with your site!!

Great blog. I’ve been reading for years, but this is my first comment. My congratulations, you very much deserve your success.
Anthony,
Sincere congratulations upon fighting the Good Fight with such unbridled success!
I love it when us lurkers get to have an influence

Congratulations! Sure “it’s just a number” but it’s a very big number.

I subscribe to the Sceptical Science site. I like to think that I can listen to both sides.
The amount of hypocrisy over there is amazing.
At least on this site everybody gets a say and posts are not deleted.
Congratulations

Congratulations! You Sir, are doing great things with electronics that many have been trying to do through print and media for the last century. Remember that there are those of us that observe , rationalize, and realize that the truth is there, just waiting to be discovered. Please continue to do the right thing, as the left thing creates little.

The blog that keeps me sane when all around the warmists keep losing the science but winning the PR. Thank God for WUWT. Congratulations on this magnificent achievement gained on the back of countless volunteers and some really clever people. Wingham, Australia, 1905 hrs 7 Jan 2012.

Congrats Anthony and mods, I applaud your dedication.
Thanks all posters and commenters for the free continuing education course you all provide. I have learnt so much from you all.
Anthony
Many thanks for all your work and congrats on the 100 million. I have been vastly educated by the many differing, yet politely handled, comments on your blog.

Best science/climate blog in world.
Congratulations and thank you Anthony, mods and ALL guest posters. What an amazing site. I reckon your readers would be surprised how many Alarmists and CAGWers supporters visit WUWT on a regular basis but are as yet not quite ready to emerge from the closet – if you get my meaning. Anyway well done!
Thank God for Anthony Watts and WattsUpWithThat – thank you for providing the world with a bulletin board for voices of reason (and simultaneously making a stand for civility…).
