Counting to 100,000 milestone and beyond

Introduction
Between the dates of the 3rd of August 2020 and the 28th of Janurary 2021, the channel #counting-2 was opened, the rule of this channel was to keep counting up in numbers until infinity, you were not allowed to count more than one number at a time. This channel was one of the most active channels on the server and held some of the largest achievements of the counting saga, including 100,000. Similarly to the #counting channel, the channel did not only achieve 100,000 however many milestones prior to this.

Before 100,000
The channel was opened on the 3rd of August and was counting up regularly, and so, many milestones have been achieved before the 100,000 mark, including some of the following.

Reaching 100,000
After tremendously fast growth to the server prior to the event, the server was able to reach 100,000 just 98 days. On the day of which the number was reached, the channel was closed for the last 100 numbers for the moderators of the server to be able to count. The milestone was reached at approximately 4pm PST on the 9th of November 2020 by Polygon Donut. After the event, the channel was not closed, however was left to continue counting, and told by Polygon Donut to “never stop the count”.

After 100,000 and closure.
After the server reached 100,000 the channel has continued to count, and has since counted over 200,000 in a 32 day period. Additionally, the channel is not expected to close. The channel later reached 245,000 at around the time the server was deleted.

Trivia

 * The event was recorded live as it happened and has been uploaded to youtube for the event to be rewatched through “100k on polynomers” on youtube.
 * Polygon Donut kept a promise from the start of the channel stating that if he was to make a video it would be for a big milestone such as 100,000.
 * After this milestone was reached, he went with this promise, however the video is no longer in progress due to the server deletion and a sequel to the original counting video will not be made on the topic.
 * The server went on to make even more progress with counting including reaching the milestone 200,000, 32 days after 100,000 was reached.
 * The channel was presumably the third most active channel in the server, after #genaral and #memes.
 * The last time it was recorded, the channel had a constant rate of about 1,600 messages every day.
