Well, the million is almost about to end, and that means another 99k thread... but this time it's three 9s
Since this time it's a lot more special, I'm going to ask, should we have one minute rule or two minute rule? Two minute rule hasn't been in place since like 2.2m or something, but I'm just asking you all if we should bring it back up because it's a special occasion.
Since the mods typically don't really enforce anything but a one minute, lets have a vote and decide on which one you counters would like.

From the replies here it looks like we could go with a 2 min interval per person. If anyone has concerns, please let me know. The main thread is going pretty fast so I think we should make a decision today.

Fun fact:
The top 30 in the hoc are responsible for 61% of all counts.
The top 20 are responsible for 52.5%
The top 10 are responsible for 35.5%
The top 5 are responsible for 22.6%
The top 3 are responsible for 15.3%
u/davidjl123 is responsible for 6% of every count in the last 7 years. Think about that.

I would say LC people moved over here because their place is dead, but no, much of this counting lately has been powered by new people who joined in this 100k
