So last month this forum got roughly 6,400 new posts. This month, with less than one day to go and the new year only hours away, we are at about 6,100 posts.

On average, we have 200 new posts every day here at The Discourse - but I say why not finish the new year strong? In just a few short hours, the new day will begin, and the goal will be 350 posts.

The toughest part will be keeping them all of good quality as we usually do, but we have hit 400 and even 500 posts in a day before. This should be a piece of cake.

You can track progress in this thread, or by clicking "Top Posters" in the info center on the main page and scrolling down to the bottom, where you click on "December" to see this month's posts.

On a side note, in just a few months, The Discourse has overcome every other forum out there related to playing cards when it comes to information, news, friendliness, activity and inspiration. On here, and on here only, new projects are announced and launched and with the help of the awesome members that frequent the boards, these projects change for the better.

Guys, 2012 is the year of The Discourse when it comes to playing cards, and let's give us a running start.

 :)

For those wondering, ETA on Discourse v2 is about two weeks now, and right after that begins the programming of the main website.

Awesome :D lets crack this goal :)
Mystery is the basic appeal of magic. Once the secrets are known, the magician becomes a mere manipulator, an actor in a suspense drama which has little impact because the audience knows the ending in advance.

I think we can do this one with one keyboarding hand tied behind our backs.  The only hiccup is going to be that whole "end of year partying" thing that tends to get in the way of normal, day-to-day operations everywhere...  But hey, that's what the smartphone and the tablet were invented for, right?

Damn. I'd love to help out with posting and such, and I really am looking forward to the Discourse v2. But, judging from the ETA of it, it directly clashes with my GCSE mocks (for you non British people, they're basically important exams that you do at the end of high school). So, I don't suppose you could hold off the release for another 2 weeks after that, could you?
Nah, I'm just kidding. But I sure am sad to know that I'll be at my most inactive, just as the Discourse v2 comes out.

Haha, yeah, I know. It just sucks that I won't be around for the very first release of it. :P But don't worry, once they're over, I'll be back and even more active than ever.
