Place your bets..
I bet it's some 'blue skies' computer conference somewhere, that happens to be called "Spectrum computing". All the delegates are googling it and coming here hoping to find out where the conference centre is.

When the delegates came across the memes thread they inmediately left the conference and any technologic way of life and started a new life as hippies living in the country, smelling daisies and producing cheese from goat milk.

All I can tell you is that there appear to have been 9,000 clicks in the last week from the USA. The logs are say click from video. Can't tell anymore.

Yes, I posted that over on b3ta. It even hit the front-page! Mind you, I only noticed an increase of about 80 in the thread's view count a little while after. I doubt it's got that much to do with the volume of traffic (I might be wrong though).

It’s 07:36 BST (in the U.K. we are still on ‘summer’ time until the early hours of Sunday 25th October).

At 07:36 this morning it was dark outside and pouring down. Definitely British summer time. :lol:

Whoever posts that number gets to go on a free trip...to their favourite bank.

Sorry.

I don't think we celebrated the other milestones: 16384 and 32768.

Dohh! I just missed it!

However, I was able to determine the 49152th post. It was this one from [mention]jdanddiet[/mention] in the "Top 100 ZX Spectrum Games" thread:

Whoops, just noticed that's meant to say 49152nd.

Also, rather ironically, that was my 256th post! :mrgreen:
