Vizzed has just exceeded 1,000,000 posts! As a way to celebrate, I've made it so that posts are worth twice as much Viz for 1 week (until April 12th)! This also includes Threads, Reviews, Walkthroughs and Articles.

So how big of an accomplishment is 1 Million? Well we pulled it off in just under 10 years (the overall post count began on 12-06-04). The site was averaging around 100-200 posts per a day when this current Vizzed Board launched, now days it averages 400-500 posts a day. Now it may seem like the site's post count hasn't gone up very much since its launch but the 100-200 posts a day only lasted for the first few months of the site, after that the average was around 100 and it just kept dropping. At one point the site was averaging around 5 posts a day back in 2006 and there were even times when the site went more than 1 day without a single post. Things started picking up again in 2008 with 25-100 becoming the average and things really took off in 2009 when the Retro Game Room was added to the site.

A few fun facts:
-It took around 21,880 users to pull that off
-The 1 million posts on the site contain 56,871,406 words
-The average user post count is 45 (excluding non-posters)
-The average post size is 56 words
-The site has averaged 293 posts per a day since its launch
-The site has 75,625 threads which means the average thread has 13 replies
-The thread with the most replies is Corrupt-A-Wish! with 9,110 replies
-The biggest (non-copied) post with the most words is in The Children of Destiny thread with 30,507 words
-The thread with the most total likes is Tour de Vizzed: Winter 2014 = EideticMemory wins! with 83
-The thread with the most total dislikes is I've Decided to Auction This Forum with 23
-The post with the most likes is this one with 39 likes
-The post with the most dislikes is this one with 13 dislikes

Just like I did in the 1 Billion view count thread, I need to thank the staff (and the past staff too) for helping me keep this site under control and to help me keep the forum civilized. I'd also like to thank all the users who have posted and have helped make 1 Million posts possible. Not a lot of forums live long enough to ever reach 1 million posts so I'm pretty proud that Vizzed Board has been able to stick around long enough to pull it off.

1 Billion views was a huge accomplishment but I think 1 Million posts is an even bigger accomplishment because 1 Billion views can be done without a community but 1 Million posts can only be done with the help of an awesome and loyal community. Both Milestones are amazing though and we've been spoiled to witness both so close together. It's unfortunate that it'll be a very long time before we hit another huge significant milestone and even more unfortunate that a lot of the current active users wont be around for those milestones. This is not a time to think about that though, this is a time for party! A round of Vizzed Soda on me!

Congrats Vizzed on 1 M posts! I'm glad to be here for it! =)

Lovin' the stats!

And thanks for the Vizzed Soda, David!

Cheers,

Oh David. You know how much I love Vizzed Soda.

They may as well call it Leggy Soda.

Because I'm addicted.

Help.

I added a few more fun facts to my post.

legacyme3 : Or better yet, Zebra Soda.

EideticMemory : I figured users would appreciate seeing stats that they'd otherwise never get to see. I actually enjoy seeing the stats myself too because most of these I didn't know.

It was my post on copyright that pushed it to 1 million   

Davideo7 : Yes Yes. It's party time. Congratulations to everyone I'm glad that we have reached i million posts.

Davideo7 :

Even more interesting about this thread.

It has a thread rating of +2 despite all of those dislikes, meaning it also has a lot of likes.

Very bi-polar on the fate of the original IT.

Davideo7 : Congratulations! I'm happy for everyone. We got there guys we got there. KANPAI!

Congrats to one and all. We have done it everyone, its party time! ^-^

It's nice to see the TdV thread have the most likes. Tells a little about the nature of the community even during competitions.  

And my mind is absolutely blown by the longest post.

legacyme3 : Yeah that's an interesting thread. I probably should've ran a query to figure out which thread has the lowest overall rating. Maybe I'll do that tomorrow.

First of all:
AMAZING!
I posted something just before this, second
Where is the post count?!
I can't find it anywhere... :o

TheJmsGamer : It's on the index page (on the right hand side) under "Site Information"

Congrats to all users who have post in vizzed. Seeing another great accomplishment made by the users who dedicate themselves to this site to make it to 1 million and still counting. Posting is one of my favorite thing to do in this site.

Too many posts for me to handle
JK
Congrats to everyone one this site!

Whoop let's party like tomorrow is the end of the world!

Glad to be part of it in the last few months.

Fantastic.  Loved your comparison between views and posts (a community is needed to make posts).  As a newbie, I'm trying to imagine the purpose of this board pre Retro Game Room.

Mass congratulations and Vizzed Sodas all Around, and may we more than survive the next decade.

Cheers

Dang, my walkthrough won't be published during this short period of time...

Oh wait, I'm not really doing that for the Viz ha ha. I do that because I enjoy doing my work and I have fun, especially with my next creation, a few people know the next walkthrough so sssssssh folks, please

Congratulations Vizzed community (also known as my second family), we made it. Let's drink and dance until the batteries are low *starts dancing on The Safety Dance*
