The 1000th commenter!
Jul 3, 2007 Announcements, Blogging, Link Love
A couple weeks ago I decided when this blog received its 1000th comment I would make a post and give some love to the person who makes that comment. I should have been paying closer attention to my comment stats because the 1000th comment was made 5 days ago. Whooops :oops: I’m happy to announce that the 1000th comment on this blog was made by Helen of HelenChatter.com!
I met Helen on the PayPerPost forums not too long ago and she’s definitely one of the nicer folks there. She’s a bit of a dreamer and an extremely talented artist who likes to dabble in both illustration and photography. You should take a moment to stop by and check out her work. Her macro photography is particularly impressive. Oh and Helen will also be getting married soon!
I’m pretty sure I’ve missed a couple of her sites as she owns several but that’s a pretty good introduction to Helen’s world at least. Thanks Helen for not only a new blogging friendship but also for taking the time to stop by here and leave your thoughts on my silly little posts :D

*utterly jealous* … pfffthh
tehe!
That is awesome! Congrats on 1000 comments!!! :D I still have like 400 to go.. HAHA!

Hehe…I couldn’t believe I got there so quickly and when I did remember to check today the number stood at 1,123 :-o Wow.

Very nice. I was just telling my wife that I would feature my 1500 commenter haha. Must be a telepathic link there somewhere.
July 3rd, 2007 at 2:30 pm
Haha…I most likely would have ended up doing the same if I hadn’t checked today to see how close I was to 1000 :P

I had another comment written but I forgot to do the math! And it said: “You’re not very bright, are you?” :P
But anyways, that’s great Mike! 1000 comments is incredible.
I have almost 400, but I am pretty sure a majority of those are my comments.
BTW off topic - I Gummy eats a gummy bear is that cannibalism? Or does the bear/alien difference cancel that out? What are your thoughts?

I get the not very bright thing every now and then as well when I forget to log in :lol:
That’s a good question, Danielle. I would assume since they are of different species that it would get canceled out…hehe

So I just tried commenting and I forgot to answer the spam question (for the first time lol). :P Now I have to start over. That’s kind of ironic considering this post is about commenting. Haha!
Anyway, as I was saying…
OMG!! I am so honored, and horribly lucky! Haha. For r.mm, I still have a couple of hundred to go for the 1000th commenter, and for hc.com, I think I still need to reach my first 100. Haha! :) Congrats on getting so many comments and I am truly honored in this post. :D You’re so awesomely nice too!

Hehehe…I’m thinking I really need to dump the math thing and go with Akismet but I’m totally paranoid about it. You should see all the porn spam my math question catches on the comic site :(
Thanks, Helen :) I was pretty delighted to see the 1000th comment was made by someone other than me…hehehe. That would have been silly to make a post giving link love to myself :lol:
I don’t get oodles of traffic here, but perhaps you’ll see a few more comments for at least a couple days while this is still on my front page :)

YAY HELEN!! She has some awesome sites!!!
July 4th, 2007 at 12:47 am
Indeed she does :) I’ll eventually be featuring her art blog on BlogsWeLuv during the Blogathon :D
July 4th, 2007 at 1:32 am
Dude, you’ve already reached 1,000 comments!?!?! That’s awesome! I haven’t seen any pingbacks, so I’m guessing those are truly comments, which makes it even sweeter. Great job and congratulations Helen on your prize (Mike, you are giving her a prize, right?) ;)
July 4th, 2007 at 1:37 am
Trust me I can’t believe it either…lol. Of course this blog really is just a bit over a year old now :)
Er…prize? Ooops. I suppose I should have thought of that :oops:
July 4th, 2007 at 7:14 pm
Prize? Did someone say prize? *ears perk up* ;)
July 5th, 2007 at 1:48 am
Hehe…Now look what you’ve started, Mark :P
July 5th, 2007 at 1:51 am
Oh how silly of me. I meant to say “surprise” as in “…congratulations Helen on your surprise.” I’ve really got to slow down when I type. :D
July 7th, 2007 at 11:08 am
1000 comments, WOW!! That’s awesome! Wonder if I’ll ever get there he he and what a nice surprise for Helen :)
July 7th, 2007 at 11:33 am
Oh I’m sure you will, Marzie, with all that schmoozing you do..hehe ;)

[...] love to the person who makes the two thousandth comment here just as did for the 1,000th commenter, Helen. Of course as usual as I wasn’t paying attention as 2,000 passed by a week or so ago. Whoops [...]

It’s hard to believe that you’re almost to 3000 comments now! I wonder who the lucky commenter will be?
September 3rd, 2007 at 6:04 pm
[...] and went today on this here blog. Amazing. How long ago was it that I wrote about about numbers 1,000 and 2,000? Just who was that lucky commenter? That would be Tish! After going on a commenting spree [...]
