40,000 isn't that big of a number by internet standards (it is, however a very good number indeed; source: i ran a site once and only got 1.7K active users a day).
But to think that 40,000 users are cancer-free and thinking in the funnyjunk hive-mind of having the same agreement on what is considered funny and what isn't, is something unique. Just look at any Youtube video and watch people arguing their lives away; we here are having a good time. Entertainment at its finest!
Also this might be because I'm tired, but I have no idea what you're doing with your math. Why multiple 40000 by 100? why compare the logged in users with the unique viewers?
I said it was 3% of users (Meaning posts get 1200 total thumbs, since (40000/100)*3 is 1200) but meant 3% of unique viewers (meaning (290000/100)*3 = 8700 thumbs in total)
Its weird how there is 40,000 people and the top thumbs are usually about 2000 or less.. I guess a lot of people don't thumb but I always use shift+right starting from the top content all the way down, even it isn't really funny. Except anime.
Don't take this answer too seriously but... Let us say that admin made everybody an admin. We all know how that doesn't work. The site gets ****** to no end. Let us say that admin tripped a safety feature I have no clue if this even exists that takes away all permissions. The website then goes dark net and only admin can even view the front page. This is only a small anecdote of what may go wrong. I don't know what tools admin uses.
Its just one of those days
When you don't wanna wake up
Everything is ******
Everybody sux
You don't really know why
But you want justify
Rippin' someone's head off
No human contact
And if you interact
Your life is on contract
Your best bet is to stay away ************
It's just one of those days!!
