Half a million photos

As I write this tookapic has 499'074 days (photos) captured. In just a few hours that will be half a million.

Just wanted to say a big bravo to Pawel and Marek for such a great achievement. Here's looking towards the next half million photos :)

jewels Well spotted! What an achievement :-)

Paweł Kadysz Thank you! Without the community there would only be around 1175 of my photos here :P

Rafal Still three to go...my picture was 499197

Ian Prince ...eight hundred and three maybe 😂

Rafal math is not perfect while came after 12 hours of work...You are right @Ian

Ian Prince Mine wouldn’t be either 😁

agnieszka bladzik and today we have less photos than yesterday :( [499,131]

Paweł Kadysz I just hope we'll get to the 500K before January 1st. There are still people deleting their accounts after the "no more free tookapic" announcement. Some of them have 300+ photos. That's why the counter looks like it's stuck.

Ian Prince Oh well, makes for more suspense :)

Kazzi Paweł, I'd change the option "Delete account" to "I gave up, deactivate", and deleting for people with over 50 photos should be allowed after a month of deactivating.

Ian Prince Sounds like a Facebook tactic 😉. Fear not, the community that stays will get past 500k 😃 And as they say in French “Les absents ont toujours tort” 😁

Paweł Kadysz It'd be funny if if we never reached the 500k. Like never ever. Just stay stuck at ~499.500 :P

Ian Prince I guess that's what happens when you're generous and allow users to dowload for free all their photos before deleting their accounts.... Sigh.

Ian Prince Nah, loads more "New Year" users lining up :)

ponzu To be fair, anything less would be... uncool.

Paweł Kadysz I don't think that matters. Most of them don't do that actually.

Ian Prince Kinda sad as maybe this shows how little they value their own daily photos...

Marta Tomaszewska @Paweł , I'm just curious - do you know what is the ratio between projects started on 1st of January and others? :)

Paweł Kadysz 12% of all 365 projects are started on January 1st.

Marta Tomaszewska Thanks, I thought it would be more :)

Paweł Kadysz That's 12% in one day. The remaining 88% is spread over 364 days. I think 12% is a lot.

Jennifer More likely they already have then saved somewhere. I have my photos on several places backed up, so there wouldn't be a reason to batch download my 1000+ photos from here unless there's something besides just the outfits that I'd be getting.

Ian Prince I know what you mean, I have all photos backed up too. That said I don’t know which ones make up my 365 project...

Jennifer Ahhh, I see. I have a specific folder that those ones go in, I forgot everyone had their own system to organize xD

Rafal So if You are downloading your photos after you finish project they are disappear from a community ? I have most of my pictures gathered but some of them are only on Tookapic

Paweł Kadysz @Rafal of course they don't disappear. It's just a backup.

Rafal I wonder, because some of my likes disappear...meaning that the person who gave it to me quit the project ? But I still can see some nice projects even that the people are no longer active (like for example that one which i like very much @Rene

Piotr Księżopolski Tommorow i will finish the project!:)

Jan Buchta 499,805 now :) I'm wondering who will be the lucky man with photo numer 500 000 :)

Maciek Korsan doooh, almost hit it! [499,978]

Paweł Kadysz The counter is cached anyway so it's not possible to aim exactly at 500.000 :P

Kazzi but can You check which photo was the 500.000?

FlyteWizard Too bad the 500000 photo wasn't one from today or yesterday :/

tigg Well I think you are all clever; if I scroll to the bottom of the home page a figure flares up but in an instant it is gone! I think it just 499,978 .... possibly .... But on this page it is clear. Hey Ho.

Daniel Zaleski There are some pages that just extend when you reach the bottom (Feed works like that). You have to choose some other page and just hit End to see the bottom that will not disappear - e.g. this talk :)

Kazzi We have it!

Bartłomiej Jacak Yep! 500,030 days for now. 🎉

Jan Buchta Well done poeple ;) We broke the border! :)

Paweł Kadysz Here's to a full million in 2018! 🍻
