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.
Congratulations, to Poptech and WUWT!
May you live long and prosper!

Northville Mental Asylum, my bet :p
Poptech, if you don’t want the coffee mug, because you don’t drink coffee, can I suggest you ask Anthony if he’ll give you one of the other mugs. He does tea, drinking chocolate, tisane, hot milk, cocoa etc. Also he has containers for eggs so you can beat them up to make omelettes, liquid cold cure receptacles and, finally, pencil and biro holders for your desk.
He tries to keep those others secret though, so don’t tell anyone.

Congrats. What a milestone. 2013 is our year!
Lets just work on some substance in those comments now, hey guys?
If Poptech doesn’t want his mug then why not sell us all a 1,000,000th mug replica with a nod to Poptech included – I would buy a couple. Any profits to boost WUWT finances.
Thank you all and especially Anthony and Mr. Stealey for this great honor and my condolences to the runner up Jimbo – who wished I never got into an argument about bitcoins ; )
As a consolation prize Anthony, if you don’t mind please send the cup to Jimbo.
I would like to note that it is quite remarkable that the 1 millionth comment happened on the biggest story Anthony ever broke.
Congratulations to Anthony and the moderators for this enormous result over only a few years (and congrats to the lucky Poptech…). You see what happens if both sides are allowed to give their opinions without RC type censoring: interesting articles and interesting debates, sometimes fierce, but mostly on topic…
In fact, after robust and entirely reasonable adjustments to the historic posting record, I think you’ll find that *this* is the one millionth post.

Poptech, now that you are Mega, you might wish to look at your link information – you are missing the R in populaRtechnology.
Hey Anthony, why not auction the coffee mug?

That’s it, Elmer … The inspiration for your next song …
Communicatin’ science in the post-normal way
Deleting all posts from those who don’t see things my way
Hide the declines
Your hockey stick’s broke and your numbers are bent
Against views of Watts, you just can’t make a dent
Hide the declines
I know you can improve on the above 😉
Congratulations to Anthony, Mods, Poptech (and to Jimbo for being soooooo close!). Here’s to the next milestone!

In the midst of all that requires heavy-duty thinking, how wonderful to have this kind of reason to smile 🙂
We’re all winners – they’ve been taking us all for mugs for years!
So when we hit 2 million comments does the lucky person get 2 coffee mugs?
Only seems fair.
My wife and I are both Poptech

I’m Poptech.”
We Are All Poptech.
By the way mods, who was 1,000,001? They also came oooooh so close.
Great job Anthony.

Can’t we ALL get a mug?
But congrats to Poptech and all WUWT fans and commenters.
Actually, we all owe Anthony a mug — or at least a dinner!
Here’s to the 1,000,000th comment, and hoping for 1,000,000 more! 🙂
Reblogged this on Climate Daily.
