10,000 Competition

The 10,000 competition refers to a competition between Scotters and Kotters back in 2009. The goal of the competition was to see who could get to 10,000 posts first. The idea originated on KOT, where Borin created the thread '10,000 POSTS GET GO GO GO!!!" In this thread he said he would give out prizes once the goal of 10,000 posts was reached. SCOTT, a regular user of both KOT and THS, saw this thread and decided to make his own version of it on THS entitled 'The 'Let's Get 10,000 Posts' Thread'.

The Competition
A rivalry between the two boards already existed, and the creation of these two 10,000 Post threads only made this rivalry stronger. And so the competition began; over the next two months the two boards raced to reach 10,000 posts. Things started out slow, but at around the 7000 post mark both boards went nuts. At the 8000 post mark, everybody was posting like crazy, with an insane amount of posts each minute. Both boards were neck and neck, and in the end, KOT came out on top but only by a very thin margin.

The Aftermath
There was a little bit of arguing directly after the competition had ended, but mostly things remained friendly. The KOT users congratulated the THS'ers on a good competition, the THS'ers did the same, and it was agreed that when all was said and done, no matter who won or who lost, the 10,000 Post Competition boosted activity on both boards by a hell of a lot.
