* In my research into the origin of the thread to fact-check this article, I stumbled across a thread posted by Shelli Selby called "lets count again." It was posted on 1/17/23, apparently because the original thread had died off. However, it only got 122 replies, and didn't seem to have much significance. The thread started over from one, and reached 63. Many of the numbers were sent as GIFs. After 63, Shelli said "i only made this one because i couldn't find the other one but now i did find it so the first one is my main focus XDD" | |||
On 11/7/22, [[Daniel Simmons]] posted a thread titled "LETS COUNT BACKWARDS" It started at 2048, since that was the last number in the normal counting thread. It only reached 1035 before people lost interest. The last message was sent on 11/12/22. It had 24 messages from 7 respondents. | * On 11/7/22, [[Daniel Simmons]] posted a thread titled "LETS COUNT BACKWARDS" It started at 2048, since that was the last number in the normal counting thread.

* One interesting thing about these threads is the number of reactions they get. For example, the original "lets count" thread had 30 reactions, of 13 different types. "Lets count: CONTINUED" had 39 reactions, 23 of which were the infinity emoji. "Lets count: CONTINUED: Continued" had 24 reactions with the infinity emoji. (this might be a record for most reactions on a post? I'm not sure.) This is not the largest amount of the ''same'' reaction for one post. A post made by [[Asher Stewart]] obtained 35 laughing emojis, and one heart emoji. | |||
* The record for the most number of numbers posted in a short period of time was set by [[Isaac Rivers]] and [[Jacob Grady]], when they posted a combined total of 534 numbers in ~37 minutes.<ref>(If you have a recorded instance of larger amounts in the same time, please edit this)</ref> | |||
* At 8:49am CST on 2/8/2024, the counting thread (Lets count: CONTINUED: Continued: Again) reached its first five-digit number, 10,000. [[Isaac Rivers]] sent the message.<ref>[[Gabriel Nelson|Gabe Nelson]] claims that his computer shows that he sent the message first. However, I haven't seen any screenshots of this, so unless I do I'll say that Isaac got it - that's what my computers all show, and I've seen multiple screenshots of the same.</ref> To accomplish this feat, [[Isaac Rivers]] and [[Jacob Grady]] sent a whopping 534 numbers in ~37 minutes. | |||

[[Sunda Schwertfeger]] then proceeded to count backwards (probably to correct the jump). Then, after a few hundred backwards-counting messages, the counting continued forwards as normal (is there anything normal at northstar?), with some mild confusion to those who saw this afterward.</ref> | ||
* Lets Count BY SEVENS was a thread created by Isaac Rivers on May 1, 2024, based on the popular Lets Count thread. It has all of the same rules as the Lets Count thread with the exception of you have to count by sevens. | |||

''I think this truly embodies the difference between middle school and high school'' ._ . Anywayyy, the middle school counting thread started at one, and it currently at 30020. There have been 2072 replies from 28 participants. ''(as of 4/10/24 at 11:42 am UTC+8, last updated by Mark Huang)'' However, this thread does nOT have the unspoken rule that one person isn't allowed to send more than one message in a row, so there are many instances of the same person counting up three or more numbers in a row. In fact, the MSers started counting with multiple numbers in one message, with one message counting from 16504 to 20000. However, I don't think any numbers have been skipped. | ''I think this truly embodies the difference between middle school and high school'' ._ .
