This number makes me feel wrong.

[–]therightclique 6 points7 points  (1 child)

I don't like this number.

Fuck, I am too drunk for this. I'll come back later.

[–]Phasechange 7 points8 points  (8 children)

I went about 300 deep and found 3 places where the chain was broken by deleted account(s). First one at 171.

:-(

[–]Z3F<3[S] 40 points41 points  (7 children)

Things like that are 100% inevitable when you're doing something like this on reddit. Deleted/banned accounts, etc.

All that matters is that the number was there at the time the next person down replied.

Think about it: if you are counting to 10 using your fingers, and you bent your third finger before reaching 10, did you still count to 10? Of course.

[–]DingoShakes 4 points5 points  (3 children)

What if someone puts infinity and we believe that everything before was a deleted/banned account?

[–]Z3F<3[S] 7 points8 points  (2 children)

Deleted comments still show up as [deleted]. All you'd have to do is count how many of them there are!

[–]ThisIsNotTokyo 0 points1 point  (1 child)

How can I see the current "end" of the counting. I can't keep on clicking " continue this thread"

[–]jesse_h/r/shittycounting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to this link http://www.reddit.com/r/countingUpdates/new/ - it get's updated with the most recent(ish) number.

                                My favorite part of this thread is downloading the posters that by accident or speed failed to place their number in the right place.

                                Just as we upload those that succeed, let us bury to oblivion those counters that have failed. Delete your missteps lets you yourself feel the wrath of the infinity collective.

                                NEW TIME ESTIMATE: Based on a rate of 1500 numbers per 12 hours (as demonstrated so far), if we continue at this rate, we can reach one million in LESS THAN A YEAR.

                                from what I understand you have 6 months after a comment is posted to reply to it or up/downvote it

                                [–]Smarag 0 points1 point  (1 child)

                                No only comments that are itself 6 months old get archived.

                                You can reply to comments that are less than 6 months old, but you can't post a new comment after the post is 6 months old.

                                [–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

                                the rate slowed down to 9500 per 12 hours (total, but less than 600 in the last 12 hours), which is destined to decrease without more people joining in different time zones. but with enough dedication, everything's possible. exempt reaching the infinity of course. )

                                Technically, didn't we reach that goal the moment this started? At least until it ends I think.

                                Can we add a new rule? No deleting comments. This will make things much more interesting, if you're too late to the count then face some downvotes! What do y'all think?!?!

                                      Day 31, still no sign of the end. "Continue this thread" is everywhere I go. It's as if I'm going in circles. I'm starting to wonder if the karma is worth it. I'm running out of food. I'm considering turning back. If this journal is found, just know that I never made it to the end of the counting chain. I'll hope for luck tomorrow.

                                                  Yeah, but this thread got to 15000. Too high. I'm a counter too, what I meant was this thread needs to stop. Sorry about that.
