I didn’t really expect people to subscribe when I called yesterday for a Big Push to get subscribers over the magic 40K mark, but people responded, with over 150 subscribing. We now stand above the threshold:
Sadly, I couldn’t ascertain who was the 40,000th subscriber, but thanks to all you “amazing” people for following this “blog”.
“Thanks”
“Awesome”
“Congradulations!” 🙂
(Would the WordPress gods know who’s the 40Kth?)
How are you ever going to “manage” all of these cats?!
With bribery and corruption. How else?
Who was the first subscriber?
Matthew? Greg?
Does subscribing to the RSS feed count?
No
In that case, there must surely be many more “subscribers”, broadly defined and 40000 is a minimum number of people who are notified of all posts to this iste.
How about a t-shirt?
THIS

I suppose (at time of writing 40,049 followers) 50 could unsubscribe, choose lots & then resubscribe?! In a predetermined order?! 🙂
Lead us, O PCC[E]! We are thy people (or cats…)!
No, because then I’d basically choose who would win, and I have no guidelines (or desire) for that.
Two down already.
I am moderately surprised that WP don’t have tools to tell you who was the Xth subscriber – it’s almost certainly in the logs somewhere. “Where?” being the 64-kilodollar question.
Other b-websites hold competitions for the Xth subscriber, but likely you have to set that up in advance. OTOH, if you (PCC(E)) are doing it once, there’s probably no reason to not set up various alerts for when it does happen, such as every 10,000, perhaps at powers of 2, number of Drosophila species … think-of-a-number.
Just wondering if the subscriber count exceeds the post count. I haven’t looked at the stats on my blog – or indeed looked at the blog – for months, but there are quite a few numbers to choose from there.
Back up by one in the time it took to write that post. I think someone is playing around.
That would be 8 times the population of the town I live next to. You could be the toast of the town, but probably not this one.
I’m trying to remember the name of the Xtian martyr who was the toast of the town. Fried on a griddle.
Saint Lawrence, of “I’m well done, turn me over!” fame. Tintoretto version.
Suspect there are many like me who stop by several times/day and don’t subscribe since no need of more emails. It’s not like this is a website where new posts are measured in days or weeks.
You manage your email preferences to receive notifications as often or not often as you like.
I have notification send me an email for every post and email for every comment, once I have commented and subscribed.
Quite often I get tired after about 100 comments and turn off the notification. I would rather see the comments for a few seconds each via email than go in and search for new ones.
I have always been baffled by PCC’s aversion to the “B-word”: I looked up several definitions and most characteristics seem to apply to this site. Could I be enlightened?
Well done!
Shouldn’t it really be the first subscriber who gets a prize?
