r/counting • u/[deleted] • Aug 25 '15
Counting by members participating in the quest for INFINITY
I'd love to see each member here share interesting tidbits about themselves
... as much or as little as you'd like.
Here's an
INDEX
of all those who've entered their TIDBITS so far.
Some possible ideas for sharing in your personal comment in this thread :
Your first # - if you remember it & how you discovered /r/counting.
Your stats - # of GETS, favorite GET etc.
Country you are counting from (and city if you want)
Why you are participating in this quest to Infinity
Your favorite, or funniest moment here
Your 2nd favorite sub here on
AskReddit- edit: er I mean Reddit!Your favorite website(s) outside Reddit
Other hobbies you have besides being an extreme counter.
Your MOTTO - OR favorite quote/saying.
Your tips, hints & strategies you use here to count. (for newbies)
OTHER TIDBITS:
Any and all additional info you'd like to share here with your fellow extreme counters ....
NOTE: you can of course update your personal comment here anytime you want - this thread is only 2 hours old and I've already updated my comment 3 times LOL.
I will indicate in the INDEX when someone has edited their TIDBITS whenever I notice it!
HINT: Keep an eye on peoples last edited to know when people have updated their tidbits.
Also - I gave this counting thread a long-ass name, hopefully we can refer to it as the TIDBIT THREAD - much easier.

My first number was 207 702. I don't remember how I found the sub.
Just
twothreequite a few, actually gets so far.I'm getting 500k for sure.lol ManiacI'm from Minnesota; I live in Ohio.
It's fun.
Probably getting unbanned (edit: no, the first time).
Probably /r/legaladvice, but it changes once in a while.
What do you mean, "websites besides reddit?"
I also code, do math homework, and play the viola.

I've been having fun watching you slowly rise in the ranks. It's a bit fun to analize it. You've got your work cut out getting to the next quest - around 600 counts.
Then you'll jump up several - however what I've noticed is after that jump 3-4 positions... you'll be having a tougher time because you are up against 3 active counters at that point. So as your numbers rise - theirs will too... LOL. Anyhow I think anyone in the top 20 are pretty much just as significant as the others in that realm. But in society being in the TOP 10 - is usually a biggy so if I were in this quest that'd be my ultimate goal.
I've also enjoyed watching you 'raining' gold here - that's sweet.
Anyhow - happy counting!!

u/DontCareILoveIt You can talk to me all you want too - love_the_heat Nov 02 '15
Well my best moment here so far was you getting unbanned the 2nd time - you are part of our family here!
I would have been upset for a very long time had you not come back!

u/rschaosid Nov 02 '15
Keep in mind how much longer my first ban was...14 months of nothing but watching and waiting and holding PMs up in the windows...

u/DontCareILoveIt You can talk to me all you want too - love_the_heat Nov 02 '15
Well I'm taking about how it was on our side of things... I saw your first ban, just a couple of curious comments.... you did notice a difference this time I hope! Everyone immediately got involved in getting you unbanned. Everyone wanted you back! I did everything I possible could to ensure you'd be back... (not taking credit for you being unbanned - everyone spoke up and everyone did what they could to get you back!)
I've seen many of the oldies here say that things have gotten alot more personal and family oriented the past year... so perhaps that's why this time you staying banned would have been drastically different.
I'd love to tell you my reaction to your banning at first but you'd probably think I'm a nut! I did not take it well!
But then I realized me freaking out wasn't going to help fix this - so I had to calm down and start doing what I could to help make it happen!
But I based on the fact you kept involved and in touch with people here etc during those 14 months clearly tells me that the sub was pretty important to you even back then!
You are special - and you are special to all of us - don't forget that!!

451,330 - quite new here still. Discovered counting ages and ages ago, but didn't see the appeal until I made my first count. Then it became almost therapeutic somehow and I've been hooked since. This was just last week actually.
No Ks, but I got BOLD in the letters thread yesterday, which was kinda... well I guess it wasn't that amazing.
Pass
As I said to #1, it's sorta therapeutic in some way. It feels like progress, even though infinity has no end. I like it
Pass, too new.
/r/SubredditSimulator is pretty fun. It's quite funny reading the nonsense there and then returning to the normal reddit and being unable to read anything properly without bursting out laughing.
Google. Haha, I don't really have one I think.
NOTHING. THIS IS MY LIFE NOW.
Pass, don't really have one.
Pass, I need some tips to be honest. Some of these guys are just insane with their speed.

Thank you for sharing your TIDBITS - I love, love, love that sub it's sooooo funny sometimes. Did you see the 9gag's reaction to one of the sim's posts? I laughed so many time reading their confused responses. I'll find the link if you haven't seen it.

Aug 28 '15 edited Aug 28 '15
Ok when you get a chance check it out - I can almost guarantee it'll be one of the biggest laughs you'll ever have on Reddit.
Here's a link - have a great day!
EDIT: For anyone not familiar to /r/SubredditSim - the link I gave above will not make sense - like an inside joke. It's a sub where a bot takes a number of posts and makes their own comment by blending those comments together ... the 9gag community posted one of those made up post unaware that it was a made up post. And spent hours trying to figure out what the OP meant with his odd post. Too funny.

Wow, I hadn't realized you were so recent. It feels like you've been here forever. But I guess it's just that I became a regular when you did.

I thought the same :)
I automatically assume everyone's a counting legend. I just make comments with numbers because it's addictive.7

Your first # - 388,405, /r/AskReddit thread and a comment by Whit4You that was popular.
Your stats - 7GETs, 2 Assists, #33 Hall of Counters, my favorite GET is 390K
Country- USA
Why you are participating in this quest to Infinity: Why do cats like pets?
Your favorite, or funniest moment here: Anytime Maniac snipes someone.
Your 2nd favorite sub:- /r/books
Your favorite website(s) outside Reddit: netflix.com
Other hobbies you have besides being an extreme counter: I like to run.
Your MOTTO - OR favorite quote/saying. The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can.
10) Your tips, hints & strategies you use here to count: Find the best place for your hands to be comfortable on the keyboard when refreshing. I like F5, others like CTR+R. Practice free hand writing the counts before you copypasta as freehand counting makes you quicker with enough practice.

1a) ░ 176 in "Counting in Alt+Numbers" was my first post in this subreddit.
1b) 257,021 was my first number.
2) 2 GETs, 3 assists.
3) United States, near Philadelphia.
4) I love being a part of this never-ending quest with many other people.
5) One of my favorite moments was when Removedpixel attempted to steal bluesolid's GET at the last moment, by not posting the 999. I was lurking at the time, and posted the 999. bluesolid did manage to GET the 427,000.
6) I don't really pick favorites.
7) Again, I don't really pick favorites, haha!
8) Marching band.

One assist!

I really just enjoy the tangible sense of accomplishment. Sure, it's just counting but we can see exactly how far we've come!
I've really enjoyed chatting with people while counting. It's nice to interact and have fun with our fellow counters!

u/Z3F <3 Dec 12 '15
Wrote this a month ago and deleted it for some reason. Forgot about it. Posting it now:
Your first # - if you remember it & how you discovered /r/counting.
1, and I discovered /r/counting in the dark waters of my mind, while I was quite ill, thousands of miles away from home, trying to think up some way to uplift myself.
2) Your stats - # of GETS, favorite GET etc.
I've had 2 GETS in the main thread. I much prefer to lurk. My favorite get was 200k, since that's when my thread in r/bestof took off and brought us a massive influx of new counters.
3) Country you are counting from (and city if you want)
All around. Currently, Thailand.
4) Why you are participating in this quest to Infinity
Because the journey will always be better than the destination. What we are taking part in is nothing short of a collective spiritual quest, my friends, and a pioneering experiment in the new field of infinitology.
5) Your favorite, or funniest moment here
Hmm, so many, but I guess it goes to when people first started joining in on the main thread. It felt great to see my experiment in absurdity bloom into something with a life of its own. While its heartbeat might be irregular, /r/counting has proven herself a sturdy beast.
6) Your 2nd favorite sub here on AskReddit - edit: er I mean Reddit!
7) Your favorite website(s) outside Reddit
In order of time used: YouTube, Reddit, Wikipedia, everything else.
8) Other hobbies you have besides being an extreme counter.
Learning, Thinking, Eating fruit, surveying the planet and its homo sapiens, Being a good boy.
9) Your MOTTO - OR favorite quote/saying.
Any sayings/quotes/mottos that hint at the enormity of possibilities, realities, solutions that have yet to be explored or thought of, that make me appreciate my own nearsightedness as an individual, 23 year-old, early 21st century human, that speak to the beauty of exploration, transcendence, life.
10) Your tips, hints & strategies you use here to count. (for newbies)
Pace yourself, we're not even halfway there yet. And allow yourself to find joy in its simplicity and in the community.
Also, mighty cool seeing you here /u/daggoneit, you old timer.

First number: 141 441 (thanks rs)
How I discovered counting: I have no idea
2) STATS: Has achieved the coveted 1 second reply
17 assists, 18 GETS. Favourite would be 495k because I beat /u/Maniac_34's attempted snipe (for the second time).
3) Country: Australia
4) For the love of the count. I also like all the patterns, and it's oddly satisfying
5) Atomic's reply to my first get (218k):
You never forget your first ;)
7) Spurious correlations, but also reddit metrics
8) Speaking backwards, viola playing like /u/rschaosid, badminton
9) If I could have only one thing on a desert island, it would be a book on how to build a boat.
10) Ctrl-R to refresh, use ctrl-L to get to the address bar where you can edit your numbers, and ctrl-a, ctrl-c and ctrl-v to copy and paste. Also lots of practice. I've been around a while and it took me over 200k worth of counting to start getting 1 sec replies (albeit that counting was quite infrequent).
A healthy dose of luck always helps too :)
OTHER: Australia is really not a good place for counting. Bloody time zones.
I think there should be a club of people who have got gets in despite Maniac's sniping, including yours truly.

I saw /r/counting on /r/bestof when you hit 500k.
I immediately jumped on board at 500,519, got the next assist at 500,999, and then the next palindrome at 501,105.
I count from Melbourne, Australia. :D
I really just want to be there when we hit a million. I love the idea of being a part of a team in such a massive undertaking, and knowing that I can play a part in what amounts to an incredible achievement.
Haven't been around long, but 500,999 got me my very first reddit gold, so that's a moment I'll treasure forever.
Probably /r/singkaraoke, I started it myself, did all the CSS, and am the only moderator. It's very small, and I'm very carefully nurturing it in the hope that it will grow.
YouTube. 'Nuff said.
I'm an actor in stage plays and musicals, so I sing and act, as well as play piano.
"It's not over until the fat lady sings." I have no idea where this came from, but I started saying it to my less-experienced teammates during matches of tennis whenever it looked hopeless for us.
Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V.
Fun fact: Yoshiyahu is actually my name. It's a Hebrew name that translates to the much more well-known Josiah, in English.

Don't know if you saw it or not - the count was going so fast that even if you were watching it - you'd miss some things.
Anyhow you have the record for the most # of Assists in a counters first 24 hours. Also first 48 hours! Pretty cool! This count has been going on for over 3 years so it's not often someone can hold a new record around here!
I'm glad you are enjoying yourself here - and glad you've done so well in your first week! You've gotten 1/3 of all Assists since the 500,000. Too cool!

u/skatterbug What? Oct 14 '15
Hi, I'm Skatterbug. I'm kind new here, but I do love to count!
My first get was in the 04:45:00 thread. I got 05:00:00
I only have 1 get, so it's my fav
I'm counting from all the way up north in Canada
Counting is soothing
Fav moment? When I realised that there are factions. Some count in 12 hr and some count in 24 hr. Some think the new thread should start with the last get, some think it should start on the next value to avoid 'double counting'. I don't know what I think yet
/r/greenbaypackers of course
fav site outside of reddit? pro football reference. So many ways to search meaningless data
Fav quote?
Long ago, a storm was heading toward the city of Quin'lat. The people sought protection within the walls. All except one man who remained outside. I went to him and asked what he was doing.
" I am not afraid, he said. I will not hide my face behind stone and mortar. I will stand before the wind and make it respect me."
I honoured his choice and went inside. The next day, the storm came and the man was killed. The wind does not respect a fool. Do not stand before the wind, Gowron.
10. Tips are to check the context before you post. Someone might have slipped in before you. You don't want to dp a number!

u/Maniac_34 World Class Sniper | Since 315,518 | 80Ks | 500K Champion Oct 15 '15
First Number: My first number counted here was 315,518. One of my friends showed me this subreddit
Stats: 26Ks at the moment. My favorite get was sniping 500K!
Where: I'm counting from the United States
Why am I here?: It's fun to be a part of this community!
Favorite Moment: #BlamePixel
Second Favorite Sub: /r/metalgearsolid (due to my love for Metal Gear)
Favorite Website: Steam
Hobby: Hardcore PC Gamer
Favorite Quote: "You're Pretty Good!" -Ocelot
Counting Tips: Know your mouse real well, use Control+R to refresh, and precopy the K if you want to snipe!
I think that's it for me. I've been here for about a year now. This is probably the most friendly sub I've been a part of.

u/SuperDuckMan Since 6 Nov. 2015 / 546221 | Leader of Team Neutral Nov 08 '15
My first number was 546221!
I have no GETs yet, but I hope to get one soon!
I'm from Australia
For fun, and the really nice community.
Getting gilded about 3 times for stating I loved this sub
It's a tie between AskReddit and Naruto
Pfft, there are websites outside Reddit?
Rubik's cubing, and learning Japanese
Motto, uhm, 'Don't be afraid to fuck, but it's better to duck, especially if you are SuperDuckMan'
Tips: Don't try to snipe the GET when bluesolid, rs, or xeam are here, you'll fail.
Other things: I am the leader of Team Neutral, who do not separate their thousands with commas or spaces, we separate them with nothing. Bow to me.

Thanks for posting your TIDBITs - takes a while for people to see them these days but they do get read :)
By the way congrats on being in the TOP 100
You now on the sidebar ------>
:)
That's pretty cute - I imagine many are nervous - excited for their first big # :)
Your doing pretty good with two assists already! It's been more competitive then usual the past two weeks so that's impressive!
You are already almost half way to the TOP 50!!
Happy counting :)

Hello, just found this subreddit!
My first number was 605,317; I found this thread by looking at someones comment history O_o
No GETS yet :'(, but two primes!
California, US
I find numbers really interest, and I find communities like this one awesome.
I made a mistake on my second count
I find /r/Earthporn, /r/programmerchat, and /r/woahdude pretty interesting. I also like the stories on /r/AskReddit
reddit.com
I am really into programming, so I guess my answer to 7 would be my github (public) and my bitbucket (private).
Its nice to be nice.
N/A
Cheers!

I've noticed ya'all haven't added your TIDBITs here in /r/counting yet - you don't have to of course, but it'd be great if you did! You can learn about your fellow counters, and they can learn a bit about you!
Here's the link - just add yours wherever you see fit:

Don't remember.
I once got the 100th count on the upside down thread. Technically, it's not a GET, but it still counts, right?
Maryland
To kill time
When one of the beer threads got derailed. It was scary, but weird.
YouTube, osu forums,
euphoria... I have a lot of favorites.Sometimes, I play Geometry Dash.
No idea.
If you're a pretty fast typist, you'll probably love this subreddit.

u/FartyMcNarty comments/zyzze1/_/j2rxs0c/ Nov 09 '15
My first count was around 427K something.
I have 17 gets on the main thread, but my proudest achievement was getting BUTT on the letter thread.
East Coast, USA
I have two reasons for counting. First, it is much more fun than I expected. Second, there is a nice adrenaline rush at the end of threads when you are trying to get a K or an assist (or sometimes just get any count in at all, since it can move very fast).
My favorite moment was when the Hexadecimal thread finally caught the Binary thread after being behind by more than four thousand counts during the past year.
I like /r/space and I also like /r/nba, especially /r/sixers.
I'm a big fan of xkcd, both the comic and the what-ifs.
I play piano. The last song I learned to play was 'Benny and the Jets', thanks to a few helpful Youtube videos. I also like learning hip-hop songs on piano. My favorites are 'Rapper's Delight' and 'Get By'.
Do your best.
If the main thread count is going too quickly, I'd recommend enjoying any of the side threads. There are a lot of really fun ways to count, listed in the thread directory on the sidebar.

I realized I never actually posted in this thread. Here: (copied from main thread)
94,100. I think I found /r/counting from someone's comment history, but I don't remember for sure.
18 gets. First get was 95k, 7th get was 159k. Then I went on a huge hiatus, and my next get was 563k.
USA! USA! USA!
Because I have nothing better to do. Also because Ks are satisfying to get.
My first get for sure, that was very exciting.
Probably /r/pokemon.
Smogon, Facebook, Twitch, YouTube.
Pokémon, casual programming, music, and graphic design.
I don't really have one honestly.

u/DontCareILoveIt You can talk to me all you want too - love_the_heat Dec 22 '15 edited Dec 22 '15
from now on I am going to refer to you as ASA for (Another Shitty Alt) unless you object..
ok I need something from you but first a bit of information on why I always use the number 4,305
I tend to be very very verbose (in case you haven't noticed) so I promised rs that I'd give him a break from the walls-and-walls of text in every PM - (about other things..we rarely talked about stats)
and for a bit i'd make them briefer..
so - I was writing him... a little note... when I was done... I realized it was too long... so I went back up to to a TL;DR (meaning a shortened version of the text so you don't have to read the whole thing)
so the TL;DR ended up being even longer than comment it was shortening... LOL!!
so I thought THAT was so funny... that I went on to laugh about that and talk about that...
anyhow this little note... became so long that it was perhaps the longest PM I'd ever sent...
so I'd just promised him that I'd try NOT to send long messages
... so I decided to fire up my WORD PROCESSOR and do a word count (something I hadn't done in years) - and IF it was over 2,000 words than I would just not send it... it ended up being 4,305 words (and I wasn't even done yet)
So it has become a running joke around here.. and I use that # quite frequently.
SO NOW YOU KNOW
anyhow... I am going to try and keep this brief...
for reasons to complicated to explain... I require a slightly older version of the HoC for my ability to congrats even the smallest milestones (move to the TOP 200... hitting their 500 counts etc)
to do this I've always kept a earlier version of the HoC pinned to my taskbar... and I do my 300+ compare and contrasts from that one to the current one...
I do not yet know (or know if it's possible) to do this with the HoC on that wiki....
so trust me it is kind of important to me and this sub's culture of getting recognized for even the smallest of milestones...
for me to have access to an earlier version..
is there any way that you can post a copy of the current one here and every other update...hit reply to any one of my messages anywhere and paste a copy of that HoC ...
if you need more of an explination as to what I mean, why I need this so much etc... let me know..
HUG
By the way - I am thinking of you having two versions of the Participation charts... the basic one that rs had (with the bolded winner upgrade)
and a 2nd one that is including the newer upgrades and a number of future ones to add even more value, information and culture... the stripped down version for most people... the upgraded with more info stats value etc.. for the rest of us who are intersted in rank increases etc..
what do you think of that idea? You can wrap up the current one as it is now... and we can start when you get bored working on the 2nd Participation chart that one day make this more detailed chart something some of us absolutely love with all the info that can be instantly gleened from it...
/u/idunnowhy9000 I like to include you in all our stat discussions so read this if you'd like
You are working with me to add value to your charts for the major runners and their reply times etc.. so thats great... in time your Participation charts will be the speed runners bible LOL
/u/sbb618 I have yet to determine if you are still in or of you lost interested in the stat business but I have seen your HoC accessed three times just today so it is still of value...

Your first # - if you remember it & how you discovered /r/counting.
I found Countlandia from a short-lived best of thread right after the 700k count. I waited around for an hour to snipe 701,701 as my first number.
2) Your stats - # of GETS, favorite GET etc.
I recently helped Team Downer Get the Tug-of-War down to 200.
My second day here I got 709k.
I've been collecting XYZ,XYZ significant digits like 708,708 and palindromes like 713,317, 721,127, and both at the same time! 717,717.
I also like sniping numbers with notable http status codes (like 404 and 500), or notable TCP ports.
3) Country you are counting from (and city if you want)
If you stalk my profile you can probably figure this out, but my username is designed to remind me not to share things quite so easily traced.
4) Why you are participating in this quest to Infinity
At first it was the sociological novelty of the whole thing. Or really cyber-anthropology. Living with the natives. But now I've gone native myself. There's something awfully soothing about participating in Countchokulandia.
5) Your favorite, or funniest moment here
My first Get almost didn't happen b/c I replied to the wrong thread. That was silly. Also the Gold I got. That was awesome. When I get bored I write numbers weird.
6) Your 2nd favorite sub here on AskReddit - edit: er I mean Reddit!
That's easy. Proudly /r/Ravenclaw.
7) Your favorite website(s) outside Reddit
8) Other hobbies you have besides being an extreme counter.
Hacking/infosec.

earning 5 dollars at a time on Fiverr.
9) Your MOTTO - OR favorite quote/saying.

I never did this, so might as well now.
My first number was...somewhere around 510k. I can't remember the exact number now.
I got one! 589k. That's it for now. I got three straight 998s and 599,997.
New York, NY
It's oddly fun. That's all I got.
Favorite moment: maybe prankrs. I'll get better stories.
I spend a lot of time on /r/movies.
Sporcle for life! And its roided-up cousin, Hugequiz.
I read. I watch sports. I know a lot of trivia.
I've got a list of life maxims. I might post them eventually, but they include such things as "Good onion rings are hard to find. Savor them.", "You have no idea what you're doing. Neither does anybody else.", and "Don't look back. Something might be gaining on you."
Honestly, I'm a terrible counter. I've gotten faster than five or six seconds maybe once. Remember: copy-paste is your friend.
Other: No, that's about it. Love movies. Love the Mets.

What is a RUN and why can't I get a count in?
Howdy!
My name is Whitney,
I've written this for the regulars in the sub who like to do something called a "run" - to share with
anyone new to the sub who seems to be trying to join the count here.
First let me say WELCOME!! We love newbies, even these incredibly fast guys you are watching were
new and slow once too!!
So first I'd like you to understand that these guys clearly love this sub... but they are the most selfless
and caring individuals you could ever meet. They actually pretty much gave up everything they enjoy
in this sub - for over 5 weeks... for the rest of us. It's long and detailed... but because of THEM - and
their selflessness, everyone you see here has got to experience some of the most exciting and
important aspects of this sub...
Now they are back.. and I'd really like to see them be able to enjoy this sub themselves and be able to
do what they enjoy most here.. why they do these runs are different for each of them.. but they are
thrilling and exciting and an adrenelene rush etc.|
This sub is open 24 hours a day... and these runs only last around 30 minutes to 1 hour at 20
minutes at most.. Usually somewhere in the middle.
You can get an idea of how long you will have to wait by what # they are on... if they are in the 200s
300s it's gonna be a while... so explore the Hall of Gold - it's amazing!!! You will laugh so hard.. and
enjoy yourself!
Or you can click THIS link and read all about one of our most exciting days ever... the big 500,000.
We still explore it to this day - you can see recent comments.
I recommend you don't try and count while they are doing one of these runs - because trying and
failing time and time again can be frustrating... unless you just want the excitement of seeing if you
can actually get one in with these titans of speed (It can be done!) If you can try without frustration
go ahead... otherwise check how far along they are and try again when they are done.
They only do usually 2 to 4 of these a day... so out of 24 hours... they generally only tie the thread up
less than 20% of the time and they are the ones here the most.
The longer you are here the more you will learn just how selfless, caring and generious these guys
are... so please don't feel like they should be obligated to have to give up the one of the things they
emjoy most.. and that are these "runs" they do.
I'm providing you a link... to something they did for us... you may not understand the lingo well - but
I think it gives you an understanding that they are awesome and shouldn't always have to sacrifice
for the rest of us...
our amazingly selfless "big guys"
Here's a link to our HALL of GOLD - while you are waiting for them to finish this run... this could
entertain you for hours... you should scroll to the BOTTOM and work up... cause that's how the
gildings are done and will make more sense that way..

When you are done there.. if they are still on this run... explore THIS - it's very interesting... and will
let you learn about our culture..
This was one of our biggest milestones ever..
Ok and so... by the time you are done there.. they should be done with this run... if you just HAPPEN
to have bad timing (it happens) and they are running the next time you drop in...
Learn about our side threads a bit by exploring our counting sheep thread... here's a link - the story
is funny... they will be done with this run before you even get started :)
I could write a book about what these guys have done for us... they are as selfless as you can get... so
please don't feel like they should have to sacrifice what they love here 24/7 for us.
p.s. if you've been here on several occassions and would like your first "k" just let these guys know ...
and they will help you get there.. if not during THIS run - for sure when they are done!
You will really enjoy yourself here - and they can to if they are able to do these runs guilt free :)
If you are incredibly unlucky.. haha.. and happen to come in yet again - you could enjoy your self learning about these amazing people by reading their TIDBITs - if you plan on sticking around please add yours!!

STAT MEN HEADQUARTERS
Guys I think you are all simply too busy to really spend your time trying to co-oridinate and discuss things... which is why I've been gently trying to help ... I think with my unobtrusive help you can all carry on as you have been...
but if any of you do want a place to discuss it .. hit permlink on this comment and bookmark it.
You are all doing quite well.... I would just encourage you to give a shout out to each other whenever you are doing something that was inspired in any way by something your fellow stat men are doing.
Anytime you have something to say / share with your fellow stat men just give a usesrname mention /u/theirnames in your post here.
At any rate it may seem like you are duplicating each others efforts in some ways... but honestly you are not... each is fullfilling needs here in different ways.
and we absolutely need more than just one person able to do these various stats here.
What would be really helpful is if you make a point with the systems you are developing that you document them in such a way - that you can quickly pass what you do on to someone else, in the event you have to leave here one day.
HUG
Whitney
this is IN SUB and can be seen by anyone viewing the "New comments" page... so please keep it civil and be gentle with each other...
thank you all

/r/counting's TIME TRAVELERS GROUP
I'm just gonna put this here.. since well it's where I've put everything since I first started this TIDBITs thread..
I would very much like to see at least a bare bones guide to "JUMPin" - but my #1 priority here now is giving back to the incredibly selfless guys who made Project 1st k's successful beyond even my wildest dreams.... by making it possible for them to be able to do their runs... without feeling like they are ignoring or being selfish to the newer/slower runners.. "Operation 100% Guilt Free runs"
NOTE: The rest of this will be gibberish to anyone really new to jumpin around our history... so read if you'd like but don't expect to understand it fully...
But anyhow... until such time as we have a travelers guide writer
(looking at you /u/EvoSexyBeast - who has the best understanding of the basics - and overall understanding of the system as a whole and it's potential)
I would just like to address the only drawback.. that I am aware of...
One of the funnest aspects of time traveling through our history and having fun with others there.. is "re-animating" a sleeping participant in that historical event, or the fun we are now having in that thread...
is by instantly bring them into the fun by hitting REPLY to one of their messages there.
While dazed and confused... I have yet to see anyone express any sort of irritation etc...
But for example rs (rschaosid) is present (um in the past) in almost every single one of these jump spots... usually on numerious occasion. so the potential to constantly disturb him by hitting reply to any of HIS historical comments.. could be annoying and disruptive.
So I am going to explain how I see we can do this without just a rare occasinal annoyed person by a reply button being pushed.
Always check the time stamp of the TOP post you see there.. and do not hit reply to anyone from that time period that you do NOT recognize a a fellow time traveler... I am sure it'd be pretty easy for someone to make a list of most of those who are partaking in this wild ride...
a list of those who enjoy it most and you are safe to hit the reply button to anytime...
Other than that - if you check the timestamp... and it's clearly one recent... it's a safe bet you can hit reply to them and pull them back into the current happenings in the um (past-future-present)
If you have something funny or interesting you'd like to share with someone who you don't recognize as someone who's a fellow traveler.. for now I think it's a safe bet to do so... until it's done enough that it does become an annoyance to those who are not actively involved... I think it's fine..
While I no longer have an idea how many have traveled and where.. (I always get a kick out of seeing an ongoing convo in the "past" that I was not involved with... :)
Anyhow - if I see anyone express any sort of annoyance because the are getting pulled back in via reply times... I will make note of it... so far rs is the only one I have as offlimits ... because he wants to run and deserves to do so without constant username mentions and reply responses I THE PAST.
It's a safe bet that if you see me hitting reply to an earlier comment they have made (all over the place) It's safe bet they are ok to hit REPLY too

Did you notice that there are over 350 NEW comments to the 499k thread?? LOL God what a maze that must be... I mean I got lost back when it was around 50ish new comments... :)
So would you consider taking on a guide - that at least explains the bare bones... things.. however little or much you want... it not I totally understand..
the various ways to participate.. etc..?
you can stroll through my recent post history for answers I've given to others lately.. for some ideas.
eventually idunnowhy is gonna work something out so it will count how many comments each person made um - in the present LOL... I am dying to know which of you three have the most frequent traveler miles but I have no clue... I keep running into you guys everywhere I go... especially river lately LOL

We don't yet have terms coined for most of what we do since most of it is unchartered territory..
but for now I'd like to call those who travel around now like they were born in the past... "frequent time travelers" those who have experienced it from every possible known way...
Since this whole thing is exponential and I can't possible keep tabs on who's where and when... I'm just gonna give an overall list of those who are in this club...
While at this point I've seen just about every active roomy involved to one degree or another
IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER most frequent travelers and experienced travlers -
Bluesolid

idunnowhy9000 mooraell maniac_34 wertercatt torncolours
apologize to anyone I've missed.. the um "past-future-present" is a bit hard to track.. unless you are atcual watching the "new comments page" 24/7 - and since there are many runs done of late.. that's next to impossible
if you think you've done the majority of first experiences... jumped in... reanimated someone via a reply... found other travelers via their profile comments (hitting CONTEXT) ... the new comments page (hitting CONTEXT) ... and spent time invarious threads please drop me a PM - would love to let others know who enjoys this so much they are fair game to hit reply to whenever you see them so they can join in the fun!
*HUGS
I really hope someone takes on the task of at least a bare bones... "how to guide to the /r/counting universe" or whatever it may be called
NOTE: if you have yet to exprience this our most recent and easiest to navigate "water cooler" (jump site) is here bookmark this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/counting/comments/3juuh3/460k_counting_thread/cuwaymm
you may find a few mods there.. please don't jump them in (username mention) or hit reply to their comment because they are busy - they all know how to join in via hitting context on the new comments page or our profiles.. so let them join in themselves if and when they so desire... I'm not trying to say you CAN'T do this..
I have done it once myself when it was just to incredibly funny to pass it up (in this very thread above) ... every comment for several pages in the "new comments page" - were various conversations coming from a thread titled "460k counting thread" - and I figured the mods were going to think someone named the current thread wrong.. and when I saw a mod come in I said QUICK EVERYONE HIDE! (the response to that username mention - priceless.... see if you can find it in that thread LOL)
at any rate.. I at least hope you hit reply to them or username mentions to them sparingly... I think perhaps Moo may be the exception.. he seems to be having a bit of fun in the past-present-future LOL

I need you to copy the whole Thing (select all or highlight it all)
I need you to then paste it somewhere ,(word doc or wherever)

INDEX OF Main Thread Participation Charts by rs™
I've got all of the charts posted by rs of late over 140 of them, as well as those by idunno - saving all side thread and other charts as well for someone who wants to do something with those... after spending countless hours working on the sheep saga website with only one idle [here] mention ever in the sub... I'm not going to work on indexing all those stats .... but I do have them all saved if someone would like to index and/or anaylise them...
KEY name = GET x sec = how many second reply this GET was won with.
(NEW) number of new counters to the sub.
(m) = maniac snipe attempt
(s) = sniped by Manaic
(num) = number of snipe attempts.

First
(and only)# - 372,468 (thanks rschaosid)STATS: #1 lurker - # of snipes by Maniac_34 0 (heavy sigh) Favorite GET: I almost got a GET here... only off by a few (80) seconds...
LOCATION: Washington, USA (City: N/A)
Participating because I love unique things and being a part of this historical quest. I really want to call DIBS on the GET of Infinity but I'll call dibs on the assist instead.
Favorite moments here - 642 users here now courtesy of Whit4You!
and when Bucky_Barnes exclaims extreme excitement over obscure #'s like 457,928 - especially when he'd do that to a newbie, they'd be so confused.
6) 2nd fav sub - /r/AskReddit
7) Fav website outside Reddit - www.waitbutwhy.com (check this out it's amazing) - and of course This
8) HOBBIES: Reading, reading, and more reading.
9) My MOTTO: I will strive, to improve my life, one step at a time, one step a day, what will be my step today?
10) Counting tips: N/A
OTHER TIDBITS:
My name is Whitney - for some reason on Reddit - you are automatically assumed to be a male LOL.
I identify as a female, especially since I was born one - and have always been one....
Soooooooooo quit referring to me as he!!
I'm TEAM COMMA's forever!
I believe I coined the terms: Extreme counting & Extreme counter
Looking forward to seeing the big 1,000,000 get - I have little doubt that this sub will hit the big-time via main stream media mentions when it gets to the 990,000 point.
If you are interested in how this all started - a link to where it all began
https://www.reddit.com/related/uuikz/lets_count_to_infinity_by_1s/
Here are a few links to mentions of this sub outside of Reddit:
http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-26343700
http://mashable.com/2014/09/24/counting-subreddit/
Interested in WHY?!?!? they count here? I tried to get down to the bottom of it myself - the convo was funny... several said THEORY 6 best described their WHY...
THEORIES on why they count here
An interesting tidbit about this sub - it once took:
28 days 14 hours - to count 1k
I've been asked why I spend so much time here but don't actively count- so here is why if you are interested:
I once had a very serious and unhealthy internet addiction - it would be very unhealthy for me to ever go back to that. I have to actively set boundries on the amount of time I spend on the internet per day/week. Do to my addictive personality - if I were to start actively counting I am 100% sure I'd do it to much and shatter my "rules" on how much time I spend on the net per day/week. I have made my one contribution to this historical quest however.
But I've upvoted 90% of the posts here over the past 5 months...so whenever you have a mysterious upvoter it's probably me! My upvotes are my contribution while I wait patiently for my Infinity assist - are we there yet? It's ok - I'm prepared to wait!
More info to come.
