Every Millionth Slashdot Comment

2005-07-27 by qntm

This is just for my own curiosity.

Slashdot comment #1,000,000 - 15th June 2000

Slashdot comment #2,000,000 - 1st March 1999. It's unknown why the date of this comment is earlier than the previous one. My guess is the comments weren't numbered sequentially this early on in Slashdot's history and were renumbered at some later date.

Slashdot comment #3,000,000 - 13th February 2002

Slashdot comment #4,000,000 - 2nd August 2002

Slashdot comment #9,000,000 - 28th April 2004
