user9943: 9999 answers! Who dares? This is a pretty milestone isn't it?! Up to a full site? Do the number of answers actually count as an absolute number? 

user12909: It is 10k now.

Also, critical mass I believe is more important to site graduation then number of questions. Here is one more link. I would like to note that when I first joined visitors per day was about 5000 to 6000 so that is big gain.

There is no set amount of time for a site to remain in beta; it will be in beta for as long as necessary to reach critical mass, with periodic evaluations that help communities know where they stand and what they need to work on.

Yes # of answer should be absolute; that is, if question X has 2 answers, it counts as two as opposed to one answer (the checked one) for the post.
It also may be worth while to note that good is 2.5 answers per post so we should be answering more questions to improve our standing in that category.
