No, the intention behind it was to see if we could make the 3,000,000 mark, postwise before the end of the year. In whatever thread that counts, maybe even start a thread yourself.
Two people have managed to get this thread moved into Forum Games. Can I ask that the Quiz 7 days, 7 questions be also moved in here. That is actually a game so does belong here.

Personally, I think he would look bloody stupid walking around with a cake on top of his head, but hey ho whatever floats your boat I suppose.

True.. But what if it actually looked like a hat? :hyper:
I bet he would look smashing with one of those:

& days 7 Questions is something that happens once a week! Sometimes one does, sometimes one doesn't. The content always changes and is a one contribution thread mostly. I could put 7/7 every week, but that's no fun. Using the café analogy, I suppose it is like a group of people pulling up, piling round a table then clearing off once they have bought tea, cakes and a guacamole sandwich "see you next week, guv" ...as opposed to the 3,000,000 post thread, where some folk are gathered round the tables, taking up space, only buying a cup of tea between two and sneaking Malted Milk biscuits out of a coat pocket to dunk in the tea, rather than taste the sumptuous fare on offer from the café proprietor...bit of a swizz the proprietor might think, but he needs the business. You have just been moved downstairs with other meeting groups that's all - the passing trade continues upstairs, and the cakes are selling well again!
I think this is a good thing to be in 'Forum Games' as a) I'll not go there much and b) people can come to your thread, C33, and report where they have posted. "Free the CycleChat Million" that's what I say.
(one less post to go...sigh)

The intention behind starting it & why, I've just explained to Shaun.
In brief, it was to see if we were able to hit that mark before the end of the year, where ever people decided on posting. Safety has once again hit the headlines with a recent court case being concluded & that is not just on this forum or cycling forums for that matter.
I placed it in Cafe as some have blocked Forum Games from view & neither was it started as a game.

And the daily quiz thats been started in Cafe belongs in games.
I received a PM reminding me that all future quiz based threads, by me, be placed in the place now created for such threads. As a direct result not as many short lived threads have been started, but what have have been started have all bee in the games section, as per the request by PM. Others didn't get the same PM I take it, from what can be seen.

As I explained in the PM - despite your positive intention to encourage people to post "all over" CC that isn't happening and people are, instead, posting into this thread on the assumption that it's only about hitting the magic 3 million posts number.

Unfortunately that doesn't help CycleChat in the way you intended. Hitting a post total number isn't as useful as adding to our key on-topic cycling content, so whilst I'm happy for this thread to continue, I have moved it here so that it isn't indexed by search engines which would, ironically, have the opposite effect and dilute our content. It's also likely to go on for much longer than the short-lived Cafe quizes and, as such, fits well in this forum.

The best way though, for anyone to help us reach 3 million posts, is to create cycling related threads in the main forums. That is what attracts visitors, who then turn into new members, who then add more posts to the total count. :thumbsup:

Cheers,
Shaun :biggrin:

And that was the idea. This thread was to have acted as a reference point, to see how far we'd left to go.
Hidden from view it doesn't have the same effect. Many on here have this sub-forum on ignore.
It can only last into the start of the new year, when the target will have been reached or we fall short. Unless its resurected by someone at a later date, has happenned with another thread of mine.

Looking at a posting rate of 8.28266 per member, per day, to reach the 3,000,000. Assuming a member visiting rate of 800 per day. Over the remaining 39 days.

Given that the average number of members over the last week has been just over 800 daily, and IF it remains that way, we'd only require each of them to post 8 times a day.
Some do more, so it should even it out.

Posting rate needs to increase by 2, to 10 per member visiting daily.
Given that the average number of members visiting has dropped closer to the 800 mark.
