*** 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…

    I heard that there are only 414 comments needed to get to 35,000. Will there be a party?

    Whew! Had to do a lot of scrolling to get down here… Good thing I’ve got bionic fingers 😉 Sorry, but I’m probably not going to read all of (or any of) the other comments here. You know, if there’s any way for you to put the comment box at the top of the page it would be really cool wouldn’t it? I’ve never seen this on any WordPress blog so it’s probably not available… some person less lazy than me should like, ya know, figure out how to get suggestions over to the overlords of WP… OK, another one of my little hatch-marks has been added to the count, only uhhh how many more to go? My brain hurts!

    • We are just going to go until it isn’t fun anymore. And we did set it up so the comment box is at least at the bottom of the first page instead of all the way at the beginning… that was really hard on some people. Thanks… you are now a small part of history… or something…

    Impressive amount of comments here and I hope you break the record (even if you don’t know what the record is)? I guess thats part of the fun. I just had a quick look at some of the comments and it seems to be you and another bloke exchanging some words;] Do you know how many individual people have contributed so far. I know its a boring question, but I am borderline Aspergers and love the numbers thing. I also like trains. No I don’t. Maybe.

    This is the most amazing thing in, like, ever!! Have you since discovered what the record is?

    I realize that I haven’t made enough of a contribution to the comment count of this post. I’d like to take this time to apologize, and pledge my support for further commenting.

    I am disappoint that there aren’t 40,000 comments yet.

  13. Julie's avatar Julie says:

    you know what? It doesn’t really matter if we get acknowledgement for the record or not. I think the true measure is the fun that’s been had, and the new friendships made. Release the butterflies!

    With a bit of luck you could also go for the ‘most reblogged’ WordPress post too: )

    I wonder how long it will take to get to 34,567

    crappy comments causing cognitive congestion..come come!!

  21. Julie's avatar Julie says:

    THE EVIL WORDPRESS!! The evil wordpress has decided that 40,000 is too many comments on a single post and has been spaming every comment since 39,990. Do you think the people at the Guinness book can trump wordpress?? Of course they can! WOO HOO!!! 40,000 has been crossed!

  22. Julie's avatar Julie says:

    OH! I got it! I know what is going on!

  23. Julie's avatar Julie says:

    Isn’t it funny how I appear to be here alone, but maybe everyone else is writing in invisible ink too??

  24. Julie's avatar Julie says:

    Is the spam file like a bucket that can get filled up? What happens if I make it over flow?

  25. Julie's avatar Julie says:

    deep brain stimulation surgery. Doesn’t that sound like something you would like. Well, except for the surgery part. Every time I hear that commercial on the radio I think I would enjoy some deep brain stimulation…

    Don’t tell Trent, but his bunk is now really REALLY dusty. Plus I put Vaseline on his knob. No! the DOOR KNOB, to his room in the lair. Sheesh! All that dust will stick to his hands, and you know Vaseline doesn’t just wash off…..

  27. Julie's avatar Julie says:

    Hey Arthur! You should help Elyse get Duncan on the calendar. (Like he needs help being cute)
    You should do one of those magic link thingies…. on a new post. And here.

  28. Julie's avatar Julie says:

    If the count is correct, I only have 7 comments to go. I mean after this one, to get to the 34,000 mark.

  29. Julie's avatar Julie says:

    since I am writing my comments in invisible ink, I will also submit my art. (it’s in invisible ink too) See?? What a masterpiece!

  30. Julie's avatar Julie says:

    Like sharks. You know how their teeth grow in rows? I wonder if the 2nd row eventually pushes the 1st row out of the way, or if they just hang around as back up, waiting for the shark to lose one so it can be replaced. That would kinda stink to the in the first row, seeing your replacement just waiting for you to leave… I know, that happened to me at a job once.

  31. Julie's avatar Julie says:

    personally, I think we have them from long ago, before oral hygiene, and people’s teeth rotted out. We grew 4 more molars so we could still eat..

  32. Julie's avatar Julie says:

    Or is it because “wisdom teeth” kinda smart? IT really smarts when they get pulled out!

  33. Julie's avatar Julie says:

    I should be doing this backward, since it is all going to spam and not going to make much sense the way it will post.

  34. Julie's avatar Julie says:

    They shouldn’t be, because they are dumb.

  35. Julie's avatar Julie says:

    Hey do you know why they are called “wisdom teeth”??

  36. Julie's avatar Julie says:

    ART!!! did you break wordpress again??

  37. Julie's avatar Julie says:

    well, well, well… isn’t that weird… my comments are counting but no one can see them. or maybe just I can’t see them… omg. am I going blind??

  38. Julie's avatar Julie says:

    speaking of the head minion, I was just thinking this morning how cool it would be to meet him. He travels a lot for work, you know if he was ever in the area. Oh yeah, I would have to repeatedly introduce myself as he seems to forget me….

  39. Julie's avatar Julie says:

    and then what happens? I get sent to spam?? What?? I wonder if the head minion has anything to do with this….

  40. Julie's avatar Julie says:

    33,981. Do I have to do all the work around here? that is 19 more comments to 34,000. Another parade, my picture in the paper, marching band, confetti and fireworks at dusk!

  41. toad2014's avatar toad2014 says:

    Ten-thousand more…..

    two by two…

  44. toad2014's avatar toad2014 says:

    Now we can get some real work done, day by day, one by one….
