| Aug 16, 2018 at 14:00 | comment | added | Jason Bassford | @Mitch I had given a tongue-in-cheek answer, meant to simply be humorous rather than serious—and hoped that others would follow suit. Instead, it presented me with the possibility of getting the Peer Pressure badge, which I think community wiki posts still qualify for. ;) | |
| Aug 16, 2018 at 13:53 | comment | added | Mitch | @JasonBassford Congratulations accepted... Party! Woo hoo!... Oh. The party is already over? Maybe we could have organized it better. People just didn't seem to 'get it'. Schade. Quel fromage. Send condolences and 'charitable contributions' to my super-PAC. | |

| Aug 14, 2018 at 15:57 | comment | added | Jason Bassford | @Mitch That's exactly (part of) my question. The system itself must know when a question appears that moves the counter to 100,000. It's that particular question I'm interested in. But I can think of no way of identifying it after the fact. It's even possible that once the counter hits that mark, a question could get deleted, bringing the counter back down again. Programmatically, it would need to be done as part of the code that changes the counter . . . As it is, we'll probably have people saying, "Oh! I know which question it was!" ;) | |
| Aug 14, 2018 at 15:53 | comment | added | Mitch | Just a technical curiosity, how do you know a question is a particular numbered-th one? The number-id on its link is across all SE sites. By looking at the 'questions page' at just the right time you can tell, but you can't tell 5 minutes afterwards from that. | |

| Aug 14, 2018 at 12:22 | comment | added | Andrew Leach Mod | We've already had well over 100,000 questions asked, because many have been deleted so there are only 99,972 on the site at the moment. (And I'm not sure that having 100,000 extant questions is a milestone we should be celebrating...) | |

| Aug 14, 2018 at 10:45 | comment | added | user 66974 | Well, the 100.000th question will be the one that after being posted the numerator will show 100.000. I remember we waited for the 50.000th one, which luckily was a good question. | |
