tgags123 :
After spending all day, we all did it! Incredible. And $125, is a ton.

Looks like I'm giving away 100,000 Viz!

Flame club finally.

I would like to thank .... blah.. blah... blah
insert underwhelming post here...



By the way going to match tgags donation too.

Time for another update, as we just hit 900 POSTS! We are SO CLOSE to 1,000!

I also want to congratulate pokemon x on joining the fire club!

With these two developments, my total donation amount is now up to $140!

pokemon x : That's awesome, and very generous of you! This has been such a great day for the community.

If we hit 1,000 posts I'll add a small donation into the pile later this month or early next month. But with two of our troops down, it's going to be hard with 90 minutes to go.

zanderlex :
It'll be hard, so that means we need to push as hard as we can.

tgags123 :
LET'S GO!!

I don't think 1,000 is feasible. Then again, I didn't think 500 was feasible this morning. So instead of doubting, I'm just going to do my best to help us get there. Let's do this.

This is absolutely brilliant and I greatly appreciate your efforts, and everyone elses efforts for pulling this off. It's very exciting to see, and it's so crazy to see so many users on at the same time, all posting. And especially crazy to see so many records being shattered.

Also, your username looks crazy

67 minutes to get 62 posts. The odds are dropping but they aren't 0 yet.

All I know is that at this rate, it's going to take at least a week to process all of the prizes that I'm doing.

zanderlex :
I think we could do it if we REALLY try.

Taking a few screenshots.

I'm really glad this was such a success, and I'm glad that you're enjoying it as much as I am! Even though the number of active members has dwindled, it's awesome what this community is still able to accomplish when we all come together.
Davideo7 :

I think there are a lot of users out there who still have interest in vizzed, but when they come around, there's no one active at the time. That's why the TdV now days is great because it's a month that's dedicate to everyone increasing their activity. Everyone knows that others are going to do it and therefore it rejuvenates the site for an entire month. These post spree days do that same thing, which is great, and I think if they were given a bigger notice, they could potentially draw in more users.

1,000 POSTS!! LET'S GOOOO!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOO

WE DID IT Y'ALL

With 36 minutes to spare.

That was super tiring, but it was 100% worth it.

zanderlex :
It was very worth it!


tgags123 :
WHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

This will be my 2nd to last post, I want to hit 200 today.

Today was truly a legendary day. To everyone that participated in making this event as successful as it was, thank you.

Some shout outs I definitely need to make:

Dauntez : 200 posts! Insane! Great job man, I appreciate you going post for post with me pretty much all day. You were responsible for nearly 20% of the total posts made today.

zanderlex : Appreciate you adding to the prize pool with the Steam games and the shiny Pokemon! In addition to that, and the posts that you made, your motivation was also a big factor in us breaking 1K. I didn't think it was possible, but you did. And we did it.

SonicOlmstead : I wasn't anticipating your participation since you didn't chime in in the initial thread that I made at the beginning of the month, but you really went crazy! Shout out to you for breaking your personal best for posts in a day by a wide margin.

pokemon x : I think you might be today's MVP. You pretty much single-handedly reached the "25 new threads" goal for the community. Not only that, but I don't think we would have been able to make anywhere near as many posts without all of the threads that you made. You made it so much easier for the rest of us to find places to post. Matching the donations is also an incredible gesture on your part, so thank you for that.

SacredShadow : You were definitely an underrated contributer today. You may not have caught fire, but your 60 posts definitely made a big difference!

supercool22 : I appreciate you helping me out with the Viz prizes! And making 30+ posts isn't too shabby either!

nakina :
and
Furret : You guys were big contributors as well! Appreciate you joining the italics club!

Davideo7 : Even the big man himself got involved at the end in our push for 1K! Thanks for helping us reach such an incredible milestone.

And to everyone else who made even a single post today: Thank you. You're the best.

Additional post coming soon with final stats, prizes and rewards, etc.

Now that the dust has settled, let's examine just how much we were able to accomplish.

Board stats

Total number of posts: 1,019.
This is the highest number of posts in a day since August 5th, 2016. (1,135 posts were made that day.) After that, you'd have to go back to April 2nd, 2014 to find a day where more posts were made than were made yesterday.

Total number of threads: 50.
Double the goal.

Total number of words: 46,545.
The is the highest number of words in a day since April 27th, 2020.

4 users set a personal record for most posts in a day:
-tgags123's 219 posts broke his previous record of 174
-Dauntez's 200 posts broke his previous record of 41
-SonicOlmstead's 114 posts broke his previous record of 53
-pokemon x's 106 posts broke his previous record of 47
-Technically, radrr's 1 post broke his previous record of 0, but I'm not counting that lol

Here is a breakdown of have many posts each user made (right-click -> open in new tab to enlarge):


And here are the top tens for each Tour de Vizzed Jersey, complete with flaming usernames:


Prizes and rewards

Since a total of 1,019 posts were made, that means supercool22 and I are paying out 1,019,000 Viz. (Well, not actually. We're not going to send Viz to ourselves, so subtract our posts from that.) Here is how much Viz each person will be receiving:

Dauntez : 200,000 Viz
zanderlex : 137,000 Viz
SonicOlmstead : 114,000 Viz
pokemon x : 106,000 Viz
SacredShadow : 60,000 Viz
nakina : 42,000 Viz
Furret : 30,000 Viz
Davideo7: 12,000 Viz
gamerforlifeforever : 12,000 Viz
Tafarijah : 10,000 Viz
EX Palen : 9,000 Viz
SuperCrash64 : 9,000 Viz
becerra95 : 7,000 Viz
lolid23 : 5,000 Viz
geeogree : 3,000 Viz
G789 : 3,000 Viz
Barathemos : 3,000 Viz
NaomiNoel : 2,000 Viz
radrr : 1,000 Viz
marioboy : 1,000 Viz
kenzergagliano : 1,000 Viz

A lot of people qualified for a lot of steam games. Refer to the opening post of the thread for rules. You can pick out which games you'd like. There is a 3-game limit per person I believe. Let zander know which games you want and he'll send them your way.

The following users qualified for a shiny Ponyta by making 10 or more posts in the Pokemon forum:
tgags123 :
Dauntez :
SonicOlmstead :
pokemon x :
SacredShadow :

That's five users for four Ponytas, but I'm going to disqualify myself. So that's a Ponyta for each of you. You guys can figure out who gets the regular and who gets the Galarian.

And, of course, the donation goals:
-1,019 posts at $5 per 100 posts = $50
-5 names on fire at $10 per name = $50
-25 new threads = $20
-Decade record broken = $25

The grand total that I will be donating to Vizzed is $145. pokemon x said that he was going to match my donation, so that's $290 going to Vizzed between the two of us. (Plus zanderlex and supercool22 also mentioning possible donations as well!)

Thank you again to everyone that made this possible! I will send out the Viz prizes and make the donation, and then it's bed time lol.

I'll end this post with a nice visual representation of what we accomplished. Look at that beautiful outlier.

Thank you for the 3k Viz, tgags. I will now be rich enough to buy some things.

I am so happy to see how many posts happened today, even if I could only contribute 3 to the total. Looking at the graph...2013 were really the days huh.

I'll give a small donation of my own in the spirit of spree day. I greatly appreciate David coming out of his own pocket to keep up a site I know so many of us hold close to our hearts.

Congrats to everyone setting new posting goals, 219 is impressive these days haha.

tgags123 : You and me both I had no plans to contribute and certainly didn't imagine going over 100 every other time I ignored posting day and did maybe 20 posts but this time I'm trying to win a tdv it didn't matter if I was burned out and though I told myself I would only go for fire if speedy's name was on fire it just felt like the time to go for it and I did it on what will go down as a historic day on the site maybe no all time record but being the most activity day in 9 years is insane to me I'm really proud of everything we did as a community today. I would prefer the Galarian Ponyta if that's okay with everyone else.

It feels so weird seeing these be a thing when you'd always run the risk of a forum moderator tagging you and being like "you guys spammed the heck out of that thread." Lol.


I hope these are more encouraged as time goes on, I think it's a very good thing.
