Subject: How long ago was it?

I was just looking at the Quiz Rater badge to check my progress, and noticed that the badge text mentioned
"Thank you for rating 500 quizzes and thus helping us better guide the users towards the best offerings. Oh - if you have nothing special planned for tomorrow, there's some 90,000 more quizzes waiting for a rating."
Does that mean that there were "only" about 90,500 quizzes on the site when the badge was initiated? Or has the number been updated since the initial awards?
We've reached nearly 167,000 now, by the way!

I am working on tier 5 of that. I guess there must be more quizzes now. Reply #1. Jun 08 26, 8:37 AM |

I don't know what you mean, Mistigris. *looks innocent* *whistles* My page for that badge clearly says there are another 160,000 quizzes to go. *looks shifty* Not that I edited the page or anything. *grins* Thanks for the tip! Reply #2. Jun 08 26, 10:28 AM |

LOL - Oh,what a tricksy bunny you are, flopsy! ...I'm still curious as to when the site only had 90,000 quizzes, though! Reply #3. Jun 08 26, 1:50 PM |

I went on the Wayback machine for you and luckily the quizzes page has been captured 1,129 times. In May 2009 there were 89,542 quizzes. From 2010 to 2014 the page advertised "Quizzes - 90,000 Quizzes to Play!" with no real specifics, until it was changed to 100,000 later in 2014, so I'd imagine sometime in June 2009 the site reached 90,000 quizzes.

Thank you, runaway_drive! *cheeky grin* I guess there are so many snippets of uncrossreferenced administrative information that one or two are bound to slip through the net for 15 years... Reply #5. Jun 09 26, 4:51 AM |

Wasn't me! Actually, it's only very recently that any Admins have been able to edit any of the badge text, including the one who wrote a lot of it! There's still a lot we can't reach because it's coded in (the old days weren't all they're cracked up to be) but where we can, we do. As long as we know about it. :D Good piece of searching, runaway_drive. :) Reply #6. Jun 09 26, 5:27 AM |

From 2010 to 2014 the page advertised 90,000 quizzes to play? I wonder how many quizzes there are in 2026. Reply #7. Jun 09 26, 6:15 AM |

Flopsy, along the same lines, Advent Calendar has a typo for when the badge ISN'T available... This challenge can only be completed and claimed in Dece,ber! Please return then Reply #10. Jun 09 26, 2:20 PM |
