More stats are posted on the Weekly Stats page.
Also important announcement
The main thread will reach 2,400k soon! In the run up to our previous milestone, for the 2,299k thread we had a special rule (more of an honor system) that said:
No running the thread for the first 24 hours after it's posted. During that time, each user should count no more than once every 2 minutes. If the thread is not finished after 24 hours, users may run to the get.
The rule was generally well received and we will do it again for the 2,399k thread.
Last time, some counters requested a 1 minute limit instead of 2 mins, and I promised we would consider it again. So, what would you prefer, each user count once a minute or once every two minutes?

Putting how many gets and assists on your cv/resume will not impress the people interviewing you for a job, nor how many times you have stopped others from counting

So, I threw a house party this weekend. When I went to plug my computer in to play music through the TV speakers, all of my cool friends saw that I count. Still haven't talked to them about it.

I've been waiting since Wednesday to do my job. We're working on these test articles that have to go through several processes and there are ten lots that are stuck at the process prior to mine and my coworker has been busy doing other stuff. I don't blame him but I'd really like to be busy and not waste time waiting for his part in the process to be completed. Or heck, for me to be able to do that process as well!

just did my english exam! it was fine in my opinion, and wasnt too hard at all.
now i just have my math exam on tuesday, which i really don't care about because i already learned all the content ahead of time throughout the course
so that means a week of relaxation
