If a thread gets more than 9999 views, what will happen?

[yvr girl]

It doesn't look like there's enough room to accommodate 10000 views, which I think is a little short-sighted...

What will happen when a thread hits that mark?

[Hugin]

1. Let's see!

Uh, one!

Uh, two!

Uh, three!

*crunch*

The answer is THREE!

Muhwahahahahah!

[Radio_Lady]

245. UPDATE: SADLY, SOME OF THE PEOPLE WHO CONTRIBUTED TO THIS THREAD...

HAVE DIED.... :sarcasm:

R.I.P. FROM NOVEMBER 2006...

Get this thread archived... pronto!

[Hugin]

290. Well, I'm still amongst the living...

Sort of.

Must've been some kind of paperwork glitch.

[mainegreen]

298. But, but ... this is ART! Performance Art!

Or posting art at least!

:P

[Fran Kubelik]

306. died?

:o

[Bucky]

349. Okay, Waiting for 9999 was a dud. So was waiting for 99,999. But one million?

I'm sure the universe will explode when we hit THAT magic number.

[Radio_Lady]

377. The DU Presents The Exploding Universe~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[mainegreen]

2. The layout will look ugly for one row. nt

[LaraMN]

3. I will post a pic of my twitchy inner thigh.

:P

[petronius]

12. How can we see the twitchiness in a pic?

9999 views deserves a video, it seems to me... :D

[reyd reid reed]

4. The internets will 'splode

and life, as we know it, will cease to exist.

Don't. do. it.

:scared:

[Boojatta]

51. Maybe the number will roll over to zero and we'll have to start over again!

[Canuckistanian]

372. But I don't know how to make fire! And my hunting/gathering skills are rusty

Please make it go away! I'll pay you some money?!

[Zavulon]

5. Someone simply starts the next Kuzdu thread and we start over.

[northofdenali]

175. OMFG, that kudzu..........

:rofl: - Good one Zavulon.

6. Kudzu will be jealous

8. It already happened in GD

There is room to accommodate a 5 digit view total.

[billyskank]

15. Well that's a real disappointment

:D

9. The hatch will implode scattering its inhabitants all over the island.

Hopefully, "The Others" won't kidnap them.

Everybody start clicking!

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

11. Other: your browser will suck you in and you have to win a race to the death

[El Fuego]

13. It turns over like a car odometer. Goes back to 0000 and starts over.

[greendog]

14. Diebold kicks in...

...and viewers get flipped to Freeperville.

[Cygnusx2112]

16. I think you can jack with the "Views" by hitting Refresh

on the browser.

But don't tell anyone...

[rug]

17. All future views will be moved to FreeRepublic.

[LadyoftheRabbits]

18. ...

:rofl:

[Deja Q]

37. If we work on it together...

Let's kick it! :D

[sakabatou]

61. Past 84000 now

[bigwillq]

21. This one has more than 9999.

And ain't nothing happened yet! :evilgrin:

:P :)

[sakabatou]

22. I guess the tables have what? 5 places for digits?

[bigwillq]

23. I guess they could go six places

You have to contact an admin about this one.

[Haole Girl]

24. Man, this thing has taken on a life of it's own. It deserves this:

[yvr girl]

25. WOW

I can't believe the number of views for this thread in such a short amount of time.

[hfojvt]

38. I can't understand it

I thought there must be a sexy picture in the thread.
Whatta let-down.

[Floogeldy]

26. Spew!!!!!!!

:thumbsup:

[ZombieNixon]

27. 15000 views...and less than 30 posts.

:P

[Mutley]

28. I knew it wouldn't be long 'til a thread like this came out.

I love watching these "let's-see-how-long-it-lasts" threads. :D

[LynzM]

29. Kick....

:bounce: I wanna know what happens when we hit 100k! :rofl:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

30. At the rate its going, my dear LynzM...

It won't be long at all!

:woohoo: :woohoo:

I want to see what happens too! :hi:

I can't believe how many view this has.

It has to run out of space for numbers eventually!

[ContraBass Black]

46. All of us clicking on this thread for the rest of our lives

Won't take the view count over the capacity of an integer.

[thefool_wa]

44. This place can be the digital equivalent

of cats chasing balls of yarn. And I mean *all* of us.

You have to know what I mean. :)

[Deja Q]

45. K&R!

[Deja Q]

48. Kicksiepoo!

[El Fuego]

49. When it gets to a brazillion, we'll need scientific notation

Since the column just gets wider and wider:

6.42 x 10¹⁴


:dunce:

[Boojatta]

50. Is there really a need for three digits of precision?

Suppose the actual number is 14,584. Why not use 14*3 as a notation to represent 14 x (10^3)? Then you can use just four symbols to represent numbers up to 99*9 = 99 x (10^9), which is probably large enough. Then the entry "99*9" means "99 x (10^9) or larger" and the odds are that the actual number is larger.

[El Fuego]

52. Or it could be expressed in terms of the speed of light

which would be c, or 3.0 x 10⁸ m/sec, the speed of light being a factor in how long it takes the image on your screen to reach your retinas.

So:

V = views

R = replies

g= gives a flying fuck

Where R is a function of g

so we have

V = R(g)²* c^-n

where n is the number of DUers online at a given time.

[yvr girl]

53. My head officially hurts now

But shouldn't monitor size be represented somehow?

[El Fuego]

55. My brain just short-circuited.

There is smoke coming out of my ears.

[mainegreen]

307. Bzzt!

[Radio_Lady]

54. I guess we're going to find out if we keep kicking this around!

Over and out.

[Bassic]

56. Maybe we'll be able to see what happens when

it hits 99999 :D

[mainegreen]

57. kick

just cause.

[Bassic]

58. I second that

:kick:

[Bassic]

59. Ok, why not another one....

:kick:

[eppur_se_muova]

60. Made it past 65535, and didn't go negative ... that means ...

DU programmers are MUCH better than Diebold programmers.

[mainegreen]

62. Never though of that! Yup!

Not unless they're using unsigned ints in mysql. That and php has really weak datatypes.
Either way, based on the way this site works, clearly they code well.

[CatholicEdHead]

63. This must be set to Long Integer

It can go to 32 million or something around there.

[Bassic]

64. Almost there....

Another kick. :kick:

:D

[HughBeaumont]

65. It's bizarre, I tell you.

Keep F5'ing it. There's one view added every second.

[Phentex]

124. It's really fun to hit refresh

and see how many more views appear in a second or 2......





must.get.a.life. :)

[Rosie1223]

66. If this makes DU go down on election day.....

we've got no one to blame but ourselves.

[Bassic]

68. As long as we make it to the goal before the end of the day, it'll be fine.

:)

[Bassic]

67. One. last. effort.

This is so pointless, yet so captivating.

[mainegreen]

69. Perfect lounge material then! nt

[Bassic]

71. That it is.

I love the Lounge

[Hosnon]

70. So...close...nt

[Cheney Killed Bambi]

72. We're close to

100,000 views!

[Bassic]

73. Indeed.

Just a little bit more!

[Haole Girl]

74. I hope we don't mess up the columns on Election Day!

:scared:

[Bassic]

75. INTO THE FINAL STRETCH!!!! nt

[anarch]

77. well, there it is

and nothing happened. I guess now we're pretty much obliged to go for 1,000,000? Might take a week or two....

[Bassic]

79. Think the administrators will regret putting that in?

:evilgrin:

[Bassic]

76. Oh my God there is no end!!!!

:scared:

[mainegreen]

78. I was expecting something more dramatic.

1,000,000 anyone?

[Rosie1223]

80. We're going for a million, people!!!

mice at the ready.

[Bassic]

81. Let's go for a million!

:D

[Nye Bevan]

82. The "views" column gets wider as necessary...

The top half is from GD for comparison...



Eventually there will be no room for the subject line.

[Bassic]

84. So, is that a challenge?

:D

[motely36]

83. Lesbian...

I probably would not have voted or posted if that had not been an option.

Thanks for making me smile :)

[Bassic]

85. Kick

Can't let it sink too low now :D

[Deja Q]

86. Let's try for 1000000!

:rofl:

Personally, I'd rather get a date but I've covered that territory once too often. :D

[Bassic]

87. There is no reason why you can't get both.

It's like having you cake, and eating too :D

[mainegreen]

88. Perhaps you could take a date out and watch this thread as the sun sets?

Or if this thread hangs around long enough it might be a good place to pick up the ladies!

[yvr girl]

89. Did it pass 100,000?

The views are gone now.

[mainegreen]

90. Yup, and kept on going! nt

[Bassic]

91. And it's still goin now

:D

[mainegreen]

92. Because elections are only so important, compared to thread kicking!

[conscious evolution]

93. OH MY GOD

Diebold got to the reply count.
Those idiots.They were supposed to fix the election.

Oh wait.I forgot about Project X

[Bassic]

94. Kick for the sake of Project X

:kick:

[Radio_Lady]

95. Wednesday morning: Polls are turned off and so are VIEWS. Is that right?

[yvr girl]

96. We want our view back

Will everyone who lives in a state or a province that has a name that is only one word long please log off.

[Radio_Lady]

99. What DefCon are we working with tonight? VIEWS are still off on Thursday?

Did they die an election death or...???

[mainegreen]

100. No views till level 0

:shrug:

[Radio_Lady]

101. Thanks, Maine Green!

He spotted me a few bucks and gave me his favorite tee-shirt.

110. Holy shit this thread has over 100,000 views!

112. We're going for a million

[Bassic]

114. 2 million?

I don't know, but hey, it's the Lounge :D

[Deja Q]

115. It's worth a shot!

:shrug: :D

[mainegreen]

117. Damn. So, is this the most viewed thread in DU history yet?

[Bassic]

118. Probably yes.

And it will probably stay like that for a very long time :D

[Make7]

148. No it isn't. You guys still have a LONG way to go.

There is a thread in the September 11 forum that has over 400,000 views.

- Make7

[Phentex]

166. I'll consider that a challenge!

:kick:

[Phentex]

224. I want to complete this challenge by the end of this year!

kick

[Make7]

226. You're still behind by about 90,000 views. ( n/t )

[Phentex]

227. How do you figure?

?

[Make7]

231. Assuming that you are trying to break the record for 'Most Viewed Thread'...

Edited to add forum links at the end of the post

... when I made my previous post you were still shy of the record by almost 90,000 views. (Unless I made a math error when I posted it.)

As I post this the 'Can a jet fuel/hydrocarbon fire collapse a steel structure? An experiment.' thread has 423,941 views. And this, 'If a thread gets more than 9999 views, what will happen?', thread has 364,128 views.

That means to beat the record you would need 59,814 additional views as of the moment I post this. But as you can see, the other thread's number of views is also increasing. (It was at 405,606 when I first replied to this thread.) Which means you will actually need more than 59,814 views for this thread.

The easiest way to find the current thread counts is to sort the respective forums by the number of replies. Here are the links to do that:

126. Good call.

As this thread is sure to go down into the history books.

[Bassic]

127. This is more fun than the Kudzu thread

:D Oh yes!

[Phentex]

128. Does this remind anyone else of the national debt clock?

where it just goes up and up every time you refresh?


scary!

[mainegreen]

129. It's still less than the debt though.

That may change given time!
:bounce:

[thefool_wa]

130. I know I have replied to this thread before

but it has the allure of the Kudu thread, I can't help myself, I have to see it grow.

I hope we don't crash the system with this one...

[Bassic]

131. I doubt it. If it made it through election day,

it can handle anything.

[thefool_wa]

132. tru dat n/t

[Boojatta]

133. There were many poll options, but the correct answer was not listed.

Absolutely nothing unusual will happen except that perhaps a few people will develop sore fingers from clicking so many times. The number of views will appear as usual.

[Bassic]

134. Yeah, but who could have guessed?

:D

[LynneSin]

136. Congrats on the Lesbian thing

I'm guessing since that's in first place and we've clearly surpased the original count that you are now a lesbian and you're making toast as we speak

[Bassic]

138. I wonder,

if her toaster is big enough to make toas for all of us :D

[mainegreen]

137. Ooops, up you go!

:dem:

[NNadir]

139. Do you feel better as a lesbian?

Was it only the views, or did the election of a Democratic Congress also make you into a lesbian?

Will you be dating one of our fine DU lesbians. Will you serve them toast at breakfast?

[Radio_Lady]

140. Tonight, the Views column is showing 141219. Is that possible?

If so, we need to start worrying about 999,999!

[Bassic]

141. I think it will just adapt

The sky is the limit :D

[Bassic]

142. This is the thread that doesen't end...

193. Yep. I thought it would be archived by now. How come it isn't???

Twenty-five days old?

Other posts never last that long...

We've made our point, yes?

"What hath (yvr girl) wrought?"

[Bassic]

194. This is the be-all end-all of Lounge Lunacy.

It is immortal.

Unless it gets locked.

[Radio_Lady]

195. As a practical matter, it takes forever to load all the replies.

Luckily, the VIEWS column doesn't seem to take so much RAM or whatever the memory is for that number. Now, if it was 200,000+ POSTS, that would be another story.

[Radio_Lady]

196. "Step right up, folks. The bidding is up to 235043 tonight; do I hear 250000?"

"Yes? SOLD, to the OP Yvr Girl, who has proved that VIEWS has a life after 9999, and who unashamedly gone on to other, more fruitful, pursuits, I imagine!"

"Now, let's play another round of Lounge Lunacy...."

[Bassic]

197. The views is only a counter thing, it doesen't require loading anythinhg more

than the actual number characters. Otherwise, you're right, this thread would be a monster.

[Radio_Lady]

199. Yeah, I know you're right. 235,000-plus people have watched us commit

209. my thoughts exactly

[Gold Metal Flake]

208. One thing I like about how this DC Scripts-based forum is set up is...

..Well, two things. One, the subject lines are large and easy to see so that if you use it for the entire message it's not hard to find. The second is how it's set up to not wrap long threads into pages. Makes for easier reading.

256. It can't happen. It'll morph into a "sex thread" and get locked

it's inevitable.

Besides, how else can you "keep up" interest in it?

[Anarcho-Socialist]

257. Flame war!

Everyone in this thread (except me) has "poopypants."

258. You can still view a locked thread.

You just can't post to it and so it sinks into the archives.

326. this thread is missing something

Donald Rumsfeld is giving the president his daily briefing. He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed."

"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"

His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.

Finally, the President looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion?"



Ahhh, much better.

364. The Day Before You Came

I must have left my house at eight, because I always do
My train, I’m certain, left the station just when it was due
I must have read the morning paper going into town
And having gotten through the editorial, no doubt I must have frowned
I must have made my desk around a quarter after nine
With letters to be read, and heaps of papers waiting to be signed
I must have gone to lunch at half past twelve or so
The usual place, the usual bunch
And still on top of this I’m pretty sure it must have rained
The day before you came

I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two
And at the time I never even noticed I was blue
I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day
Without really knowing anything, I hid a part of me away
At five I must have left, there’s no exception to the rule
A matter of routine, I’ve done it ever since I finished school
The train back home again
Undoubtedly I must have read the evening paper then
Oh yes, I’m sure my life was well within it’s usual frame
The day before you came

Must have opened my front door at eight o’clock or so
And stopped along the way to buy some chinese food to go
I’m sure I had my dinner watching something on tv
There’s not, I think, a single episode of dallas that I didn’t see
I must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten
I need a lot of sleep, and so I like to be in bed by then I must have read a while
The latest one by marilyn french or something in that style
It’s funny, but I had no sense of living without aim
The day before you came

And turning out the light
I must have yawned and cuddled up for yet another night
And rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain
The day before you came

[mainegreen]

391. How is an exercise in better living through reckless experimentation...

392. Refreshing a page until it gets to a million views

is quite pointless in my view. But that's precisely what makes it fun. :D

I imagine someone at Logitech, Microsoft, or perhaps China has achieved at least
a minor improvement in their QOL. (Not that Billy Gates needs it. ;/ )

But, what if the world ends?

Ha HA! That means I won't have to pay. :D

So the script kiddie has it set to about

I'll call it 273 k is DU's part , rounding up for the manual helpers refreshes
I'll call it 6 megs per minuet
360 megs per hour , = 8.640 gigs / day

You people really, really, really need a life.

[Adsos Letter]

486. The DU servers will explode in a flash of nuclear intensity and,

somewhere around Novosibersk, a half-drunk Russian Intercontinental Ballistic Missile tech will be startled awake, interpret the flash as the launching of a "First Strike", and immediately launch all missiles in an attempt at a counter-strike, thus initiating WWIII. And everyone will be blaming you... :D


Edited because, in my great concern for the issue at hand, I neglected to check the spelling...
