Pace increases rapidly as you approach the deadline, though. In the last 24 hours of the 8000th thread, 156 posts were made, while in the same timespan of the 7000th thread, no fewer than 230 were made. By those figures, we can literally make no posts in this thread for the next twelve weeks and still comfortably make it to >>900.

Indeed, I propose that we do exactly that. Just using this thread as a substitute for the current thought threads is boring and pointless; it's supposed to be a mad frenzy in the last few days before the big event. You don't celebrate Halloween in July, so why are we celebrating September 9000th on the 8912th?
