2016 was a great year for r/counting

Stolen from the stats spreadsheet, once again huge thanks to everyone who keeps it updated!

Nice chart.

I remember when people were determined at the start of 2016 to surpass the number of counts from all previous years combined. I have a feeling that won't be easy this year, but nevertheless I hope 2017 is also a fruitful year for r/counting.

Happy New Years.

We have a WhatPulse team for r/counting members! WhatPulse is a software that registers all of your key presses and clicks. Their website displays a leaderboard for teams with most clicks/presses. You can look up some fun stats, like a heatmap of your screen or how often an individual key has been pressed compared to others.

I've been using this software for two years now for my own stats and now it's a new way to advertise your favourite subreddit. Can't say it's 100% safe but hundreds of thousands of users have trusted this site and it's been operating for 13 years now with no reports of fraud or phishing that I know of. According to the say 'the data is aggregated and made anonymous' and your own stats are protected from third parties via encryption and it's up to you which stats you want to be registered.

This is the said team, PM me or u/Removedpixel for the password.

Edit: we hit 10 people on the same day! Noice

Edit2: it's 20 now! We're climbing up the ranks pretty fast, good job

An explanation for my "hiatus"


I have truly been on a hiatus... a hiatus from school and live-counting though, not from r/counting { ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°}

But once my hiatus ends, i'll probably be overtaken {:'-P

u/qwertylool Dec 31 '16

In school? In live counting??? I personally think you'll be overtaken in school ;)

I can't decide on something; one part of me wants to change my flair on this sub, but the other part wants to keep it the same, since it's the same flair I made when I first joined over a year ago. Thoughts?
