+bflentje Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 WHO CARES ABOUT THE COUNT? 2 million caches hidden and only 1017 of them aren't micro park and grabs. Link to comment

+SwineFlew Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) 1,998,324 The higher the active caches that are available to find, the higher the rate of caches get archived per day.(Very normal for this to happen) I got the whole state on my DB and I can see how many caches get archived per day. Its about 5 to 10 a day for my state. My reviewer archived around 50 to 100 caches a month. Edited February 25, 2013 by SwineFlew Link to comment

Its about 5 to 10 a day for my state. My reviewer archived around 50 to 100 caches a month. I think late winter/spring we see higher archive rates. Winter is passing, dnf's or soggy cache logs start rolling in and people decide that it may be time to let it go. Just one opinion. Link to comment
+redants Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 1,999,255 at the moment- on the rise again, 2,000,000 almost in sight! Link to comment
+Ambient_Skater Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Is the countdown displaying the real number of caches? Usually when web developers display countdowns like these, they tie the number to the date and time of the viewer's computer clock to make it easier to program than actually retrieving the number of caches from their records.

Andronicus Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 Is the countdown displaying the real number of caches? Usually when web developers display countdowns like these, they tie the number to the date and time of the viewer's computer clock to make it easier to program than actually retrieving the number of caches from their records. Since the numbers have been going up and down, seems unlikely that it is based on the users clock. Link to comment

Maybe we'll wake up to the 2,000,000th cache! Opps, it just dropped by one. Seems that I posted a NA last month and the reviewer just zapped it. Sorry, 1:30AM PST, 1,999,868 Link to comment
+clickcraftsman Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Do you think Groundspeak will announce an official time that it ticks over? We're running an informal contest in Melbourne and nobody wants to stay up and watch the ticker. Link to comment

+clickcraftsman Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 It will go surely quickly when reviewers start pumping in the new series/powertrails. We're down to less than 100 away....1,999,919. Link to comment
+NYPaddleCacher Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 1,999,833 This is gonna happen while the US is asleep! Hahahhaa. I'm in the U.S. and wide awake (as are U.S. east coast reviews madly going through all the new submission placed in the last 24 hours (I assume that many of the reviewers would also like to get credit for posting the 2,000,000th cache. As of 7:30AM EST the count is: 1,999,945 and since the site indicates that the number is updated every 15 minutes we may have already reached 2,000,000. Link to comment

Keystone Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 .... and seeing the 971 figure, I went and published the caches whose owners asked me to wait until the count was very close to Two Million. Time to stop watching the counter and get to work at my day job! Link to comment

+wmpastor Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 (edited) OK, I realize that caches get archived.... Um, is this forum about the "countdown to 2,000,000" likely to possibily get archived? It seems to be morphing into "post-game analysis" of the countdown to 2,000,000. Fair enough! Edited March 2, 2013 by wmpastor Link to comment

It seems to be morphing into "post-game analysis" of the countdown to 2,000,000. Fair enough! I agree. I'm closing this thread about the count dropping and rising towards 2,000,000. The posts about reaching 2,000,000 active caches, and discussing the 2,000,000th cache, have been moved to a new thread. Link to comment
