2,000,000 Post Contest

Looks like we're only a day or two away from 2 MEEEELLION posts.

Waddya know... we're only a day or two away from my guess.

Umm...maybe I'm missing something, but isn't Masonsjax's post already #2,034,374 ? From what I see, it looks like the 2,000,000 mark was hit sometime between 5-6pm CST on 4/11/2010.

Yeah the post number is different than the post count for some reason. I ran into the same problem... on 4/11/2010

I think deleted posts don't count in the post count, but do in the post numbers.

It's going to be funny when it gets close if we get some folks posting like mad trying to get it to hit their time, while other folks are deleting their old posts at the same rate trying to stretch it to their guess.

Hmmm spreadsheet shows 5/2/2010 at 2PM now, guess my date was a bit off (limited data). Then again I only take averages, not average posts per day of the week.

Crap. Ok. We need everyone to stop posting until, say around the 20th...

Quite a few folks that came in too late to qualify.

Well, my guess has passed. So close yet so far.

Woohoo! Mine is getting closer

So when did we hit 2mil???? Me and another poster are 1hour apart!

I'd say not long ago, as at the time of this post there are

That works for me! You guessed today, I guessed May 1st.

I have to dig through all the entries and find who the closest.

So what's the verdict? I'm anxious to know who won!

TxBrew,

any update on this? Still kinda curious.

Has the statute of limitations run out enough that I can just declare myself the winner?

that would be foolish... as I am the winner

Either way it sounds like those glasses already found a home
