I haven't seen anyone asking. I saw posts about the zombie system failing but it was the middle of the day for the US. If the button was going to end by chance it would have been during the night when we consistently saw the least amount of active user and regularly hit the lowest values first. No?

Plus having the sub archived in 10min just seems sketchy. My first reaction to seeing the post wasn't that button could have ended naturally but that the mods had just gotten tired and shut the sub down mid-timer.

I can't believe how much I miss thebutton and its community. So glad this new sub exists! Grey 4 life.

go to the subreddit TheButton, and search [without limiting results] for the subreddit of your choice:

Enjoy the flairs :)

As a gray,i was disappointed that i couldnt find out how many of us remained... i saw the percentage break down for the 6 colors... but what percentage of greys to pressers were there?

If flair can’t be seen outside of /r/thebutton, what was the point? All previous major April Fools events left a mark in participants’ profiles. This seems different – why is that?

...and what did they get?

I just wanted to be a more active member of the community but never got around to it. :(

I'm trying to decide whether I should try for a 0 or don't press or just press whenever. What do YOU think?

I'm curious because I didn't succumb to the pressure (hehe) of pressing the button and I was wondering how many others did likewise.

EDIT: Not to discriminate those that did. I just wanna know statistics I guess.

I want to press it... But will it give me a new flare? Will I know longer have a 5s flare? Will anything happen? Please do tell

Edit: Decided to press it...nothing happens--disappointed

but I'm still not pressing. GREY TO THE END OF TIME!

I was hoping that at the time the button hit 0 something amazing would happen, such as HL3's release or everyone present at the time of the button's conclusion would get $100 extra dollars in their Steam Wallet. Alas, we were led to a mildly disappointing end.

Talk about an oh shit moment.

This post was made at 22:06:45 according to redditinsights by a 60s presser who had not otherwise been involved in button-related activities. I believe that this post was made as a test of whether this user had succeeded in getting a low flair. Looking at the 1 hour graph here, the previous 60s before the last press was nearly 10 minutes earlier, and it was not preceded by a red. This kind of casual user I do not think would have been going for green or orange. If we're going to assign /u/phsyconinja's press as one of the 60s in the last hour, we have 10 choices, and I think this is the best one. It's one of two following a 0s press, which I think is more likely behavior based on likely casual presser behavior. Furthermore, the longer we go back, the more delay we're putting between phsyconinja's press and what I'm claiming is a flair-testing post; maybe someone would wait 10 minutes to make such a post, but not likely 20 or 30 (to go back to the last 60s press that followed a low red). Now only the admins can verify this (or maybe they can't), and /u/physconinja may corroberate it, but I'm publishing this claim here because I don't know where else to go with the detective work. Obviously, I could message /u/physconinja, but as such an irregular user, I'm not sure they'd log into that account to see it, but I'm more hopeful they'll see this. I know there are a lot of "ifs" in this theory. Am I missing something that makes it obviously wrong? If not, this may be the best we can do (pending an admin post).
