Who will be the lucky winner?
This screenshot from my WordPress control panel shows we are closing in on comment number 1 million. We’ll reach that is a few days. This is a testament to our volunteer moderation team.
Whoever gets comment number one million, I’ll send off a small prize to; a WUWT mug labeled as being the millionth commenter.
If you have not commented on WUWT before, you might consider doing so.
I wonder if any other climate blogs have this many comments?
Just for those that might go looking to match up comment numbers, don’t bother, because due to spam comments (that every wordpress blog gets) that are automatically trashed by Akismet, the comment number and the total valid comments don’t match. The 995,650 comments represent valid comments that were not flagged as spam and were approved by one of our moderation team members.

Congratulations Anthony, to you and your team for the informative, interesting and balanced articles. One of my daily “must read” blogs. As a blogger myself I know how difficult it is to produce a quality post daily and, as in your case, sometimes multiple posts.
Brilliant work. As someone else has already said, yours represents a real consensus – one open to discussion and debate and not afraid to admit errors on occasion.
Consider this comment my lottery ticket for the mug!
Just think, if you got $50 for each comment, you would almost be as rich as Al Gore.
Thanks for all you do Anthony!
Almost a million posts! Wow.
As I reminisce, posts numbers 91,237, 396,431, and 789,290 were especially profound.
Good job to all.
Darn it! I’m too busy to be commenting much – I have a hard time finding time to read all the posts at the moment, there seems to be so many! Also, come Saturday, I’m getting married (yeah, I know, I know!) so will be busy getting ready for that too.
Still, never mind – congrats in advance to the lucky winner – and even more congrats to Anthony and all the Mods and Posters for all their magnificent efforts! Well done, on achieving a million comments!
i comment here because this blog always provokes thoughtfulness and long ago, although Anthony dislikes the politics of mmgw – that’s just what it is all about – there never was the slightest scientific legitimacy to MMCO2 causing runaway [or any tangible] warming.
And politics is all about scamming and I hate to be defrauded of my hard earned taxes, fuel taxes – hmm reluctantly yeah maybe – energy taxes to pay for useless ferkin palliatives [ie bird choppers] – not flipping likely.
And another thing, I hate politicians who care not a whit about science and empiricism – who then pontificate to all and sundry about GHG this and runaway warming that [as if] – and who quite clearly are ignorant loudmouth know nothings [Al Gore] – if yer gonna preach, then make it believable.
Maybe Dr. [“hockey stick”] Mann will comment and be the winner of that mug. That would really torque his jaws judging by his reaction to receiving your calendar.
How much server space does google have allocated for searching the comments on this site now do you think 🙂
Three cheers and a tiger for “Anthony and The Mods” (Doo-wop, doo-wahhh…)
It has never ceased to amaze me how quickly comments are moderated on this blog, despite the lack of Big Oil or Koch brothers funding. I am always keenly aware of the tireless efforts of not only Anthony, but each of the volunteer moderators. Thank you all very much!
“Are we there yet Daddy are we there yet.” apart from that bloody well done mate.
Good onyer! Hope you make the 2 million this year.
A mug is a great prize!
Romm could only dream of such success!
Getting a million posts is amazing, but moderating a million posts is even bigger. Thanks for putting in all the work involved in making all this possible and congratulations to your assistants and moderators. This is a world-resource of Scientific Method.
I think one of the reasons WUWT is so popular is because the goal is “truth”. People are attracted to sources where they can get “facts”, and not hype or spin.
The posts, the mods, Anthony’s work—what a site!!
Keep it up!
Congrats and thanks for all your efforts.
May I be the first to congratulate myself on having written the 1 millionth comment! Thank, you, thank you. Now where’s that Nobel Peace Prize?
[If this turns out to have been the millionth comment then I will call it climate. If not then it was just weather. Either way, my model works perfectly.]
The race is on, we are all mugging for a mug?
Never mind the million, congratulations.
“For the millionth time, it’s not a hockey stick. It’s Real Science!”. Walks away shaking head, trips over feet.
Notice the precipitous decline in comment length.
Predictable. Chuckleworthy.
I am waiting for Mosher to point out that the comment tally isn’t really a count of the posts, it’s actually a model and sceptics who comment on the comment tally are embracing a model and therefore are hypocrites for criticising GCMs. And when challenged by Willis about the drive by snark Mosh will double and triple down on the snark with the mantra that adjustments made to the number don’t ever make any difference to the results and nor does the quality of the counter – as broken counters give the exact same results as good ones. After a million posts one gets to know what is coming next.
Well, you have one of the better “climate” blogs, with a good number of commenters who add to the knowledge. Good show Anthony!
Must… Get!… the mug…
Wow!!! Just imagine, one million posts being paid up by Big Oil & Coal & Assorted Bandits!!! And my fat cheque is probably lost in the mail…
