QP, I don't recall if it is standard Lorem Ipsum, but if it is, it is a paraphrasing of something like "Neither is there anyone who loves pain itself since it is pain and thus wants to obtain it" which is relevant in this case. No need to thank me.

Measured not very carefully I estimate it would take around 20 hours to run up a million. If somebody likes round figures maybe it actually runs a full day.

For the love of god, don't try to change th last word in the adress to cheat the system and get to a million.
Turns out is was "un million" as in one million in Spanish and not "un-million" as in not million. You will be redirected to porn.

I bailed out at 13,500. Here's the text you get when you exit:
This is the beginning of the greeting text, consecteteur adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliquem erat aliquam erat volutpat. Ut wisi enimad jehnsdy 200 characters. Rud exerci tation ullamcorper suscipit lobortis nisl lut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.

It's one of the more corrupt variants of lorem ipsum I've seen.

Ambrosia Voyeur : "maybe i should rethink this membership."
If you're considering getting rid of your membership 4 or 5 days after getting it, I don't think "rethink" is the right word. "Rethink" means you've thought about it before, and being that quick to jump the train indicates you probably never actually thought in the first place.

If you click on the left hand side when you've "had enough" and then you get more thank you's anyway, the thank you counter doesn't start from where it left off. The counter says that there are about 150-200 more thank you's than when you left off. I wonder if you continued to do that, you could receive all one million in less than an unreasonable amount of time. Or maybe the program is just set to have the counter run even when they aren't saying thank you's.

It's been running on this computer for about 8 hours, and the muted count is at about 341,000. I'll keep the window open to get a rough estimate of the time required.
