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.

On Thursday at 3:02 pm pacific time i will send in my winning post — in rhyme.. I already have a couple lines — something Omar Khayyam-ish
That mug of thine
I now call mine
I’d rather were
A jug of wine
Who needs a mug
For one can chug
The deepest draught
Straight from the jug
No mug at all
But wine for all
For wine’s the god
That tells you all
So wisdom’s mine
And words divine
(No mug, I’ll chug)
If you send wine!
There’s a thought in there somewhere.

[are we now running a bet on what time 1,000,000 gets posted? Mods, you know, “are” paid off with only a very, very, very small portion of the millions in oil money that Anthony gets …. Mod]
Sorry, I can’t help myself.
Are we there yet?
Regular pithy part-timer reporting in!
UNBELIEVABLE… ACTUALLY, IT’S VERY BELIEVABLE. Go Anthony!
Congratulations Anthony!!! I don’t comment often but I read regularly.
Hey, this might be a chance to let one slip in… but then again, the moderators are still oh so diligent… as usual.
Only a coupld of thousand comments from 1 million! At this rate we should reach it in a couple of days.
Keep the traffic coming — you might be the lucky one! And don’t forget to vote for WUWT! <– click here. It's E-Z!!
Great short post D.B. Stealey. I voted while back, but did not get a sticky badge that reads “I voted” Dang… We should all take a minute and vote for WUWT (if we truly believe as I do).
WUWT is like an oasis in a huge desert of global bullshit. If it wasn’t for the unstinting efforts of people like Anthony the small guy like me would feel lost and lonely. Not only is this site always a good read, it gives hope that logic, commonsense and truth will prevail.
I dearly wish this were the millionth post that shows the climate pattern of the 20th century:

My bet’s on Mosher or Leif.
maybe mann will make a comment and be the million man.

One of Lewandowskis surveys gets more than that … at the press of a button…”
Apparently the internet does remember –
http://www.ibtimes.com/youtube-cracks-down-views-inflation-deletes-billions-view-counts-fudged-music-industry-976890
“Youtube said it has began regulating the views of videos by several recording artists after it claimed the data has been fudged by the music industry, several reports said…
Based on Youtube’s policy, the users had violated TOS item 4, Section H, which bans artificially inflating view counts, and calls for the deletion of such videos.”
The Bear would love a WUWT Mug. Grrrrrrr …. Unseasonably hot in Sydney, btw.
I think the mug should be accompanied by an autographed printout of the first million comments. But I realise Anthony’s Big Oil cheque might not cover the postage …
Seriously, heading for 9000 posts and 1000000 comments … that’s discussion on a generous scale. Congratulations. Not many of us generate anywhere near a million anything, still fewer manage it for something worthwhile.
I thought it was just us Brits who talk incessantly about the weather!
I’d rather be a sceptic than a mug
yes I would, If I could, I surely would
I’d rather have a mug than Manns Nobel prize
yes I would, If I could, I surely would
Away, I’d rather post away
Like a swan that’s here and gone
I hope no one has won yet…because that mug is mine. I deserve it as one of WUWT biggest readers. First thing in the morning I glance through CBC and MSM to smirk and snark at the latest propaganda and brainwashing then over to WUWT to read what really matters in our world. AAAHHH refreshing, informative and satisfying and real. Thank you Anthony. This site has turned alot of sheeple back into people. Well this family at least. Thank you
I’m usually quite lucky with raffle tickets, although a mug is better than most of the prizes I have won!
Have been an avid daily reader and occasional commenter since 2006. The battle has been long and hard, and there is a way to go yet, but the growth of this site is testament to the truth. Cometh the time, cometh the man. Well done Anthony.
You deserve every million, Anthony. Keep up the good work; we all appreciate it.
c’est moi?
One million comments. That’s almost 1 for every lawyer in the US (at least if Tom Paxton’s numbers are correct) see here.
Congrats on hitting the million mark!
Thank you, very much, Anthony.
Sorry, my english is very very poor…

Are we there yet? LOL. Great job Anthony. You’ve made a global difference.
Gail Combes deserves a coffee cup irregardless.
