Why do the milestone statistics stop at 1000?

Why do the milestone statistics stop at 1000?

Because the next milestone you'll see after 1000 is the 2000 one.

Thanks,

Looks like I need a few hundred more

It does seem a bit strange having smeone else declare what your milestones numbers are.

I agree. I even posted a suggestion to the feedback site:

I let the site track some of my stats, but milestones is one of the stats I do myself because of this. (I hate the maps, too, so I load my own maps as well.)

I'd rather have 42 and 1337 as milestones rather than some arbitrary round numbers like 100 or 1000.

Yeah, silly decimal system, whoever came up with that anyway?

 

Can I haz milestones at 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512 plz? kthxbai.

Every one I do is a milestone!!

I would agree more control of the milestones would make the stats more appealing to me personally. My 25th find meant nothing to me but my 1500th was the ape cache. Not there. My 2500th was a great challenge. Not there. I would love the see the milestones more flexible. I doubt any stock answer would appeal to folks. If it was say every 100, I know many cachers with a lot more finds than me would hate to see their finds listed out for every 100, it would take up so much space. For me, I still like #1 and then every 100.

You guys don't get it 1000 milestone is a kilo milestone the next one would have to be 1 000 000 or a mega milestone. 2000 wouls be a 2 kilo milestone.

This is true. The current system is close to how I think of milestones -- as I get more Finds they get further and further apart. At first I paid attention to every 100 but now it's more like every 500. I used to have them listed out on my profile by 100s but, even with my number of Finds, that list soon became too long to be of any use -- 30+ caches, many of which had no meaning.

 

Once I got into the four-digit club I have to admit I pretty much stopped paying attention, other than #3000 because I wanted to make GeoWoodstock8 a milestone for me. Most times on those rare occasions when someone asks me how many Finds I have I don't even know so I have to give some ballpark number.

 

The good news is that everyone can still display whatever milestones they want on their profile, they just have to do it manually. I opted to list every 500 on my main profile page.

me too...fibonacci numbers are awesome! i actually for some reason think in my head as a goal what my next number of caches I want to look for...like now i have 47 so I would plan to get 8 more on a bike ride or something to get 55! it might sound weird but i do it a lot...
