espresso_addict asked about the previous record: it was in 2012, with 1328 comments, on 6 pages. Then LJ decided to crash our party, and we tried to reconstruct it, reposting the comments still in our inboxes. The reconstructed party then had two separate entries, one with 765 comments on 7 pages and one with 617 comments on 3 pages. But that was partly a forced thing, to show that we can boast the numbers. I much prefer this year's party with the lively discussions.

In 2011, we had 943 comments on 7 pages. In 2010, it was 742 comments, on 6 pages. In the earlier years, it was even less, despite that we had twice as many party guests. This year's party is fantastic!
