*** COMMENT HERE ***

I want to break the all-time record for the most comments on a WordPress blog post.

*** PLEASE COMMENT ON THIS POST ***

Okay, some of you will see this as a shallow attempt on my part to bump up my stats.

And I’m not saying you are wrong.

But here’s the thing… oh, thing, I missed you, where have you been?

I have always said that I have the best commenters on WordPress. I have two posts that have over 1,000 comments on them… True, half of those are my return answers to comments, because I always answer my comments, but still… And I will even go so far as to admit that my comment sections… OUR comment sections… are sometimes the funniest part of my posts. Are you happy now?

But this all has me wondering what the record for number of comments on one post actually is. I want to see if we can break it. Just for the fun of it. We will all be part of a social media experiment. We will all go down in the history books as record breakers. We can amaze and astound the WordPress overlords and maybe have them take notice of us.

And it will be fun.

Oh, and I am a little disappointed that only one person even commented on that cute picture of me as a baby in the last post I did, so here is your chance to make it up to me…

    Is this the record breaking post?

    I’m just going to quote random people, movies, books, etc. and if you don’t get the quotes on the first try, then I’ll tell you as I’m giving you another quote. Don’t feel bad if you get none of them, because they’re probably pretty obscure. Number 1: “Smiling makes my face ache.”

    Maybe have the fish head say I’m pouring my art out..

    Oswald checking in. Thinking about submitting an intriguing painting of fish fillets and kitchen sink plugs I created in high school to your art contest. I’m sure it would wow everyone 😀

  5. siriusbizinus's avatar siriusbizinus says:

    And this lovely comment is 33,750. WOOOOT!

  6. siriusbizinus's avatar siriusbizinus says:

    I just need a couple more comments to throw out there.

  7. siriusbizinus's avatar siriusbizinus says:

    Sometimes I get overzealous around round numbers.

  8. siriusbizinus's avatar siriusbizinus says:

    Being silly that is.

  9. siriusbizinus's avatar siriusbizinus says:

    The chain story, not the comment.

  10. siriusbizinus's avatar siriusbizinus says:

    While waiting for the chain story to percolate, I’ll comment on how silly this is.

  11. siriusbizinus's avatar siriusbizinus says:

    In an effort to spawn more comments, here is an idea. Chain story. Each person writes another sentence until we create the Great American Novel. I’ll go first.

    It was a dark and stormy night.

  21. siriusbizinus's avatar siriusbizinus says:

    I’m wondering if it’s possible for me to actually take up the entire comment listing on one page before people have to hit “Older Comments.”

  22. siriusbizinus's avatar siriusbizinus says:

    I like comments. I like them so much that I will comment again.

  23. siriusbizinus's avatar siriusbizinus says:

    Here’s another comment. Seriously, how many more comments do we need until the record is hit?

  24. siriusbizinus's avatar siriusbizinus says:

    I completely didn’t check to see if my comment posted, so I’ll just comment again. Just to be safe.

  25. siriusbizinus's avatar siriusbizinus says:

    And yes, here’s another comment.

  26. siriusbizinus's avatar siriusbizinus says:

    Oh, look, this post is almost at 34,000 comments.

    Spending time on a Friday evening browsing through comments on blog posts. Inevitably I landed back here. Seems appropriate.

  28. I’m back. I just read “We are going to break the record for the most comments made on one WordPress post, and then we will all be rich and famous and they will put us in the Guinness Book of World Records, and all you have to do is type a bunch of words…” posted back in Jan. ’14 and stating that the record is unknown. Has anyone figured it out yet? Has this post already set the record and now it’s trying to one-up itself?

    • I just answered some of that in another comment reply. But it is hard to say what the record is, or how to judge it. WordPress seems to think this is just a stunt… which might well be true… but we did all this with love. We have contests… like poetry writing where people finish my lines, or the one where people tried to seduce themselves… we have drunken reunions… we have fun. My loyal minions keep it going by welcoming new people. Maybe someday we will get 1,000,000,000 and then they can’t ignore us.

  29. What is the record that we’re attempting to break? I mean how many comments is the current record? I know we’re trying to break the record for most comments. I’m not a complete idiot. Just wanted to say that I’m good for a few….

    Has anyone else noticed the changing picture of Art on the side over there-> ? For the first time it struck me that he has a double chin! Yep that picture where he has a face on both sides of his head! You know, the one where he has a face where the rest of us have a back of the head. That has got to be a challenge for his hairdresser…..”Please make sure my faces are framed nicely” Just imagine the visual stimuli the poor guy has to deal with! (I mean besides the double chin)

    33,560 comments… i mean 33,561!

  32. Trent Lewin's avatar Trent Lewin says:

    Also, where the heck is everyone?

  33. Trent Lewin's avatar Trent Lewin says:

    So I wanted to write up a brief bit on the existential relationship between cosmic rays and Derek Jeter’s last game at Yankee Stadium. They’re both totally awesome and fry my brain. I’d like to put forward Mr. Jeter as a first-ballot Hall-of-Famer, given his 17 playoff appearances in 20 years and his 5 world championships and his status as something like 6th on the all-time hits list. Now I know he didn’t have that much power and that he was a trifle over-rated with the leather (but aren’t we all), but still – this guy is the modern incarnation of the Yankee mythology, a classier but less powerful Ruth, a Mattingly with greater longevity, a Dimaggio who plays the infield. When the superlatives are all done, I guess you just have to go plunk someone else in at short, and just see what happens. It’s almost like the next poor sot who decides to set a comment post record.

    Here’s my comment! I hope you make it, I am now following your blog so hopefully I’ll see! Good luck!

  35. Wow, was I really the last person to comment on this – YESTERDAY?! Where is everyone else?

  36. Well, now that you’ve surpassed 35,000, I suppose we have to go for 40,000? Gotta make it more exciting – any [clean] suggestions?

  37. Julie's avatar Julie says:

    only 3 more comments till 33,500!!!

  38. Julie's avatar Julie says:

    Apparently Paul doesn’t like when his name is spelled “Julie”. What the heck?

  39. I think I saw a more recent post that you reached your goal!! I am working my way through your posts. I will have to go see if this is true! 🙂
