Pending WUWT milestone – closing in on 1 million comments

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.

1_million_comments_closing_spam

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.

We need to get a CAGW proponent here fast so we can all have good reason to debate the illogical claims –and learn the fun way. Where is Mosher when you need him?

Just over the next mountain. That’s what Dad would tell us after we asked for the umpteenth time, “Are we there yet?”
I am reminded of small chlidren wanting to believe in the power of asking the question, even when the answer is still, obviously, “No.” “It’s just over the next mountain” did quiet us down the first few times we heard it, but by the 20th time, it jusst wasn’t believeable any more. Somehow, there is a connection to GoreBull warming here, but I just can’t seem to feel it.

It’ll be over 1,000,000 much sooner now with FOIA’s CG3 release. That alone probably cut the time to a million by 50% (like some climate science, I just made up that number).

Anthony or anyone: I am not sure if it’s appropriate for me to ask this on WUWT. I work in nuclear and occasionally I come across some folks who bring up global warming as a way to bolster nuclear. I try to set the record straight, but there are several CAGW alarmists who haven’t a clue. This is on LinkedIn, and the moderator there actually referred people to WUWT… which is cool.
Anyway, it would certainly be fun if people from WUWT chimed in. At this time, I’m the lone wolf there.
If this link is snipped, I will understand:

Great that there is moderation. Otherwise someone would be able to confidently claim the 1000000th post when they wrote it.

Now, are the moderators in on this “race for the cup” thingie?
(See, after all, one “could” then “adjust” the spam baseline proxy-count to account for “anomalies in the server lag time” based on a revised Monte Carlo (or was that a Capri or Impala or Riviera model) year recount of the ….. )

I am reminded of small chlidren wanting to believe in the power of asking the question, even when the answer is still, obviously, “No.”

Can you imagine the Oregon trailer pioneers, facing a six-month slow walk across half the continent, facing dust, dirt, mud, raging rivers and high mountains and endless flatlands, prairie fires and floods, thirst, cholera, typhus, starvation, injury, theft, accidents, and winds, heat, cold, no homes nor shelter except a few scattered trading posts for thousands of miles …..
AND even worse
those whining lingering questions from every kid in the back of the wagon :
“Are we theeeeeeeeeeere yet?”
“He’s touching me.”
“She’s on my side of the seat.”
“He made faces at me.”
“She touched me. AGAIN.”
“He burped. Did not. Did to. Did not! Did to!
“He always get to chose first! It’s MY turn.”
And the ever mysterious. “I’ll tell”
