So, when do you think the Forum could/will hit 250,000 total posts?
Our users have posted a total of 247367 messages
Forum traffic and conversation has died down alot in the last few years, but I've noticed how close we are getting very close to the big 250k (nearly 1/5 of which is Petty alone).
Anyone want to take a guess? run the numbers?
(I'm getting very close to post number 5,000 myself...IIRC I hit post 4,000 way back in 2017-2018 so yeah my activity here has slowed down alot in the last five years )

I used to spend a lot of time on here when I was sat at the computer. Now I have a phone I don't go on the computer at all.
Bloody phone's. Think the world was a better place before mobile phone's came along.

I still don't understand how you can prefer a phone to the computer for internet stuff, unless perhaps you only have desktop computers rather than laptops. I would hate sitting at a desktop computer if that was the only way to access things.

the posts shot up this month when Figgy reappeared, so it's hard to say what the new trend will be. We've averaged about 185/posts per month for the last year (including the pop from Figgs) which would put us at landing the goal in a bit more than a year. But if we establish a new norm of 215 between our pre-Figg average of 180 and the new Figg post rate of 250 we should make it in about a year.
My prediction is come Halloween next year we'll be at a quarter million.

Woo Hoo !
I like that Halfy is confident that we will still be going this time next year, I dont doubt we will be, in fact Im sure we will chug along for years more. I think weve gone wayyyyy past just a "Lord of the Rings" forum, all high brow and hurumphing. Id say we are more of a friendship, and in that context we will keep going where others have slipped away. As we all seem to get on its got to be either a mass extinction, a very severe clash of comments or arguments or, a sudden close down of the site ? Several have mentioned how cosy it is here and for that feeling, and atmosphere, the Forum will keep going, thats my guess anyway.
