The "Climate Cat" thread got to 19 pages on the first day.

TBH, it was required reading if one is interested in that sort of thing.

What was it like when MJ died? On thestudentroom, there was about 2 more pages every few seconds.

The MJ joke thread grew faster than the "MJ's dead" thread.

Apparently, the Hammond crash thread was a fast 'un.

Some of the photoshop threads have been fast too. The Hornby collector with the Lamborghini Urraco that couldn't get a girlfriend was almost supersonic at one point.

Quite busy, mostly early jokes.

Not sure what the fastest growing thread to be honest. Bloke being too friendly with his auntie on a Bentley? Using the mrs to sell the car? Ambiwlans? Why can't I get a date?

Mr Will might know how to check.

The "Arm Belt" one must be a contender as well.

And the "Lamborghini Urraco: Why Can't I Get a Girlfriend"

I don't think there is any easy way of finding out unfortunately.

I think some of the Eurovision threads have grown faster than the Hammond thread. Normally 50+ pages while it is on.

I'd say the Richard Hammond crash one.

I'd go along with that too. For sheer pace, would go for the GP threads but, obviously, not total amount of posts.

SQL select?

Group by datepart week/day/whatever, thread ID, count of posts, order by count of posts? Or something like that?

If you can be arsed

I can find the most posted on thread for a given day that way, but with the number of threads, replies and days the site has existed, rapidly becomes infeasible to find the most popular one of all time.

Hang on, I'll go back and do the counting - shouldn't be long!

Good point, the first one of the season usually makes 100+pages in an hour and a half.
