I was in a competition on here about a decade ago and one of the team challenges was to try and get as many STPs with as many teammates as possible within 24-48 hours. There were 10 teams of 10 users each. Over those 24-48 hours, there were I think at least a dozen 500 topics as a result of that challenge. @Dreamprism might know the exact number.

I could look it up but don't feel like it.

Honestly, that whole competition was awful to grade, and I had to wake up at odd times to post new topics. The whole Epic Struggle nearly failed because of that challenge being controversial.

However, I must correct you on one point. It was week 2, so we no longer had 10 teams of 10. I believe several teams were down to 9 players and one was down to 8. Thus, up to 2 people from some teams "sat out" the challenge in order for participant numbers to be equal among teams.

Finally, on the topic of fast 500 post topics, the one I hosted in 2009 on The Famous Five was the fastest of my topics to reach 500 posts. I forget the exact timing, but it was a record-breaker at the time & was under a minute for sure.

That wasn't on CE, but several people from CE did help out with it.
