Well, we've been averaging just under 20 days per 10 million, (just over half a million a day, if you can believe it!) And while we haven't seen the insane increases we did over the summer, safe money puts it in the first week, week and a half of the New Year.
*joins in the party* Thanks so much for the kind words, but we should all be thanking Seth & Co. for their hard work :D If it wasn't for them we wouldn't be here at all! Congrats again and here's to ONE HUNDRED BILLION HITS.
...also... YAY, someone got the Scrubs reference! :D
wow this was a great song. Has this guy done any other good songs? Oh, and I can't beleive EQD has almost a hundred milloion views. Ha, I rember the celibration for 10 million, and then I just sort stopped paying attention to the little clicker. You know, we need to start planning somthing big for 100 milllion, when we add another zero to the tiker. Any Ideas what we should do for this monumentous ocation?
Not bad for an original. I like it. A few painful rhymes, but that's to be expected. The music is generic, but you know what? It's better than I could do.
So, I calculated it out. The site has been around for 324 days (that's including the day it was established but not including the 4th of December, which is the day I'm posting this).
80,000,000 / 324 = ~246,913.6 hits a day. In actuality the site probably had a lot fewer hits in the beginning and is getting more than that right now (it's only shortly into the 4th and the site is already 500,000 hits over 80,000,000) but we're gonna run with that number for conveniences' sake.
It would take about 10.2 years (~3700 days) from the 3rd of December to reach 1,000,000,000 hits. As noted, if the current rate is held steady it would probably take quite a bit less than that. I'd need to take a number of samples of the average number of hits over a full day and calculate an average from that, then subtract whatever the current number of hits at that time is from 1,000,000,000 to get a more accurate estimate. But assuming it doesn't drop below ~250,000 hits a day here, then at least 10.2 years or less.
Looking back at this post after so, so, long I am awed. Today, long after the original post, EQD has 361,644,257 hits. Looking back always awes me, at what this fandom is capable of and how far it came. Who would have though two and a half years ago that a show about colorful ponies would do this much?

ReplyDeleteThat song is awesome. TO MY ITUNES LIST IT GOES.
ReplyDeleteForward to 90 million!
ReplyDeleteNow that's a nice gesture.
ReplyDeleteThis was AWESOME! I can't believe I've been around long enough to remember the four-million banner fight, I'd forgotten all about that haha!
ReplyDeleteCongrats EqD, on 80,000,000! Off to 90, 100, and beyond!
looking at the view number and how fast its rising it feels like we are celebrating to much... im not complaining at all ^^
ReplyDeleteI'm proud to say that I contributed to the creation of this video by visiting the site so much! Grats Seth, Cereal, and Phoe!
ReplyDeleteThere should really be an archive of past banners around here somewhere...
ReplyDeleteIf BNL got addicted to ponies?

ReplyDeletecongrats on 80 million!
@lesserpoet
ReplyDeleteWe'll see.
This is the single most epic thing that has ever been created.
ReplyDeleteTHE
BEST
POSSIBLE
THING!
yay!! i wondered if anyone was going to make a song just for EqD
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for 100 million, or eight eights, for that matter.
ReplyDeleteA party is in order, yes. Good thing I brought my PARTY CANON!
ReplyDeleteGreat song!
Congrats me guesses
ReplyDeletehmmm, need to get a new counter for the site soon xD
ReplyDeleteThis one only goes up to 99'999'999
80 was at 1240 PST lastnight on the dot
ReplyDeleteYes.
ReplyDeleteThis shall now be the official theme song of EQD.
It needs to be embedded on the right hand side of the site.
@Zonra
ReplyDeleteNot really.
When it went to 10 million it changed quite smoothly.
2:20 - 2:27
ReplyDeleteScrubs?!?
Turk, wat u doin in my interwebz?
Celestus is super beardy manly awesome.
ReplyDeleteis it just me or is anyone else getting a relient k vibe (or maybe i should just quit listening to them for a while)
ReplyDeleteCongrats EQD! here's to 20 million more!
ReplyDeleteYay
ReplyDeleteI really doubt this site has gotten over 80 million views. I think that ticker on the sidebar is just set to continually count upwards.
ReplyDeleteIf this site has gotten so many views as claimed, I want to see some proof besides a little bar on the side.
Happy 80,000,000 Everyone!
ReplyDeleteFree classy cola for all!
:o new episode this day, eqd hits 80m views, it's my birthday (1 hour left, then it's 4 dec for me). Is it my lucky day?
ReplyDeleteQuick someone tell Pinkie we need the party cannon stat!
ReplyDeleteWe cannot let up, we must continue on to...
ReplyDeleteOne Billion~ views!
Cute.
ReplyDeleteAt this rate, we'll probably reach the 100 million views before this blog is even one year old... wow.

ReplyDelete*joins in the party* Thanks so much for the kind words, but we should all be thanking Seth & Co. for their hard work :D If it wasn't for them we wouldn't be here at all! Congrats again and here's to ONE HUNDRED BILLION HITS.
ReplyDelete...also... YAY, someone got the Scrubs reference! :D
Congrats to you Seth, Cereal and Phoe for your hard work on the site! And great song MandoPony!

ReplyDelete9/10

ReplyDeleteWere going to need more digits
ReplyDeleteYeah, I was so going to screencap it too but completely forgot. Total fail on my part. lol
ReplyDeleteNice fun song, Mando. Congrats on 80 million EqD!
Ya know, I was just thinking to myself the other day, "Why doesn't EQD have a theme song"? And it came true! EQD is Magic!
ReplyDeleteAwesome song for an awesome site. Huzzah for the new EQD theme song!
ReplyDeleteBest. Fan. Song. Ever. Everypony! Spam the views until it is The Most watched video on youtube!
ReplyDelete80 million views? wow, thats insane, i never thought ponies would ever get this big
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 80 million page views ED.
ReplyDeleteWooo EqD has a theme song. xD
ReplyDeleteOnly a matter of time before it gets remixed and gets an animated PMV.
CONGRATS on 80 million, and MandoPony I love every single thing about you. EVERYTHING! This song rocked my face!
ReplyDeleteCongrats, indeed!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Sadly I haven't been around here for that long, but I hope to be around here for a very long time after.
ReplyDeleteAlso, at this party, will there be tacos? I need the tacos or I'll explode...that happens to me sometimes.
Lastly, I have one of Pinkie's Party Cannons! Where do you guys need...
*guards show up and tackle him*
Agh!! It's for recreational use guys!
C`mon! Honest!
Help!
Help! I'm being repressed!
So, I calculated it out.
ReplyDeleteThe site has been around for 324 days (that's including the day it was established but not including the 4th of December, which is the day I'm posting this).
80,000,000 / 324 = ~246,913.6 hits a day.
In actuality the site probably had a lot fewer hits in the beginning and is getting more than that right now (it's only shortly into the 4th and the site is already 500,000 hits over 80,000,000) but we're gonna run with that number for conveniences' sake.
It would take about 10.2 years (~3700 days) from the 3rd of December to reach 1,000,000,000 hits.
As noted, if the current rate is held steady it would probably take quite a bit less than that.
I'd need to take a number of samples of the average number of hits over a full day and calculate an average from that, then subtract whatever the current number of hits at that time is from 1,000,000,000 to get a more accurate estimate.
But assuming it doesn't drop below ~250,000 hits a day here, then at least 10.2 years or less.
@Sebiale
ReplyDelete*sets timer for 10.2 years* And now we wait!
congrats to 80 000 000
ReplyDelete100 million here we come!!
ReplyDelete@Sebiale
ReplyDeleteErrr, that should be "10.2 years at most assuming the average given."
Seth, you spelled "as" wrong on the post description. Just thought you'd want to know.
ReplyDeleteThat song is...SO awesome!
ReplyDeleteThis is really reminiscent of Johnathan Coulton.... or, should I say Colton? Either way, awesome song!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to hell for making that pun, aren't I? XD
Congrats EqDaily! :D
