Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?

It took us two and a half years to make it to 500,000. After 18 more months, another milestone:


Thanks to our readers, commenters, fans, and enemies who have made it possible.

Congratulations, Johnny!
 
I am sure it was just last week that I noticed you were at the 995,000 mark.
 
You are definitely picking up steam all the time.

I've seen this site mature over the last 2-3 years. The writing, content, clips- it's all gotten better and better.  
 
Johnny, would you consider a site forum at this point? I think a lot of users here would like a little more free reign over our topics of discussion, and now that there are a number of regulars we have enough people to make it a fun and challenging environment. It would also increase site traffic dramatically.

Fox Fan, would you consider seeking such a situation on Olbermann Watch? It's an open topic board (some limits apply) and since there is an enrollment process, personal integrity is a factor there, just as it is in real life interactions. In other words, it is now almost the equivalent of a well moderated site such as this one, and can't be turned into a troll-circus sideshow act.
 
There's an enrollment process going on right now. I think you'd enjoy the site and we regulars there would enjoy you too.

Olby... I want a cheeseburger.
 
I don't think I'm in line to get one... but if there's an extra... you could pass it my way, maybe?

I would consider it Cecelia if that Scott character wasn't a regular there. I can deal with trolls, but not with people who are supposed to be on your side who accuse you of being liberal sockpuppets here in the comments and repeatedly harass you with graphic obscenities via personal email. No thanks, thanks to that hateful, lying POS. Worse character than Republican Killa, worse than Lucifer, worse than whoever philby is.

That idea seems to come up periodically. I'm not sure on that. It would certainly change the character of the site. Unless it was clearly a separate entity, in which case it wouldn't do much for getting more traffic to the site.
 
It's something the J$P Advisory Board will have to deal with.

FoxFan, I would bet that Bob Cox-- the site owner-- would get to the bottom of that sort of posted message on the OW board.
 
I'm so sorry that this person got your email address! Can you block him?
 
I don't know what POS stands for, but I think I may be better off that way... :D

Congratulations on 1,000,000! Actually, I've always been surprised that this site doesn't garner more traffic. It's every bit as good as HotAir, which gets a million hits in under a week. Plus, with

Actually, I asked johnny for Scott's email after he started attacking me in the comments here so that I could try to explain to him personally that I wasn't OTM's alias as he was claiming.
 
I stopped responding to him months back after complaining to his email provider and he gave up on the harassment. I see that he still comments at OW and I'll have no part of it for that reason.

I agree John-O, the writing here is better even than Malkin's.  
 
I'm certain that this site will get ever increasing exposure through cross-linking over time.

Well, Fox Fan, chalk another one up to OTM/Clucker/Kip King/m schultz/A N O N Y M O U S/Mrs. R. Adrian Philby, Rudy Ramirez, etc. Until completely outed (as Bob Cox did), he certainly leaves a trail of suspicion and unease among disparate people.  
 
That's his game.

Congrats on reaching 1,000,000 visitors. My website is light years behind: only up to 10,940. My blog is at 952, approaching 1,000 after only two months.

According to Ellen Brodsky, Fox Fan and Johnny dollar are the same person. According to Scott, Fox Fan and OTM are the same person.
 
Sooo . . . putting it all together . . . this means that Johnny Dollar and OTM are the same person!
 
Kind of boggles the mind, doesn't it?

LOL it is a bit funny danny. Sorry for getting your milestone thread off track johnny, it truly is momentous for you and your site. Crystal Light and Newcastle's on me if there's ever a J$P get together.

For all those Hannity haters out there who took Hal Turner's word as gospel when he said he was friends with Hannity, do you now take his word when he says he was friends with Tim Russert?
