Propeller more threads than basic stamp with this post!

The basic stamp forum as 15909 topics and propeller 15908. I've been waiting two years for the number of propeller threads to finally exceed those of the basic stamp and today it has come! The number of posts has already been greater for some time.

This milestone is significant to me because it is indicative of a move to the newer parallel processing technology from the bread and butter stamp. Way to go Parallax!

This post will make it 15909 for propeller, equalling the basic stamp total.!

    Hi Invent-O-Doc , yes it had to come the Propeller is an amazing micro .

    I hope there will be support and a place for the Stamp for a long time to come it is still a very versatile processor capable of performing many tasks and a great platform for the beginner.

    I hope the propeller continues to take off, both figuratively and literally!

    Remember that the Stamp goes back a long way before this server , before the recent migration, to Yahoo Groups, E-groups, and far back to its earlier roots when there was only the BS1 and BS2. All those uncounted and long forgotten threads!

    OMG! Didn't the postings from the BASIC Stamp Yahoo Group get migrated over to the Parallax Forum??? And what was there before the Yahoo Group?

    Don't you just hate to have information lost? They were overclocking the Basic Stamp back then, just like we are overclocking the Propeller today. Apparently that was before the Forum. It took a big effort to find that information and only because someone from back then had saved a single Stamp 1 document and noticed my posts and my requests. It is a sad thing when we waste time reinventing the wheel over and over again due to lost, hidden or not available information. I hope our databases can improve in the future and not degenerate due to some migration to a new computer format. Perhaps older sources can be appended, if they still exist. I do think Parallax and their support team has done an excellent job in the recent Forum migration as all the data was transferred and not lost. Overwhelmingly thank you guys!

    That stuff didn't get lost. They're in the BASIC Stamp Archive at the bottom of these forums. Counting those, the Propeller forum still has more than 12,000 threads to go before it catches up to the BASIC Stamp!
