    Totaly random I know but there is this forum I frequent and tonight a thread has managed to achieve 1000 posts in 3 hours!

    I thought this site was popular!

    All my threads at the Classical forum are 'way faster than that.

    Michael has even been obliged to restrict the entrance of new member because of just that - he didn't have the bandwidth to cope with all of them.

    :D

    1000 posts in 3 hours is just too much information, I don't know how anyone could keep up with that. Some of the threads on the Atlas F1 forums (especially in the Racing Comments section) seem to build up pretty quickly but nothing like that. Usually I'll give up beyond the first couple of pages as it just becomes a waste of time.

    Michael.

    But how many of the 1000 were actually useful, informative posts ?

    I often see topics like this and they are plagued with threads like:

    ':p '

    or

    'i agree'

    or

    ':MILD: '

    or some other one/two word comments which have virtually no relevance to the advancement of the topic.

    Well some things discussed where slightly mad and off topic. The was not one useful post out of the entire 1100 it now stands at!

    The mods have not deleted it depsite the amount of sexual references and swearing it contained! The title of the thread was do you some times wish you were the opposite sex.

    Nope its supposed to be about education but this thread went way way off topic. Apparantly the forum is worth £50,000 as it gets so much traffic.
