Contest? Guess the date of the Two Millionth Post!

[RICHARD]

Pet of the Day is quickly approaching the TWO MILLION POST MARK!

I thought It would be fun to try and guess when it would happen.

Since it is a contest and guessing, good sportsmanship and abiding by the rules makes any game fun, I thought some general rules would be part of it.

One guess per member. Each guess consists of one date picked by that member! ONCE THAT DAY IS PICKED THERE WILL BE NO OTHER ENTRIES ACCEPTED FOR THAT DAY-SO, ENTER EARLY!!

The date will be calculated by the GMT time for the day in question.

Greenwich Mean Time is midnight on the meridian-the day/date changes at midnight on the point on the planet - which is England.. LOL, I think I explained that correctly? Some people with more astronomical knowledge will correct me!:cool:


To make things easier to figure out, the time stamp on your post will be your entry and way to calculate who picked that day first!

No dumping posts! The same with padding your post count! This is a fun contest and remember, THe honor system counts here!

I don't forsee any problems here. :)

This contest is open to all members and PT family members, moderators and pets.;)

The proper 'release' was granted to hold this contest by POTD! Otherwise, this contest will be judged only by the entries and the conduct of all who enter!

THANKS and Good Luck!

PLEASE POST YOUR ENTRIES ON THIS THREAD IN ORDER TO QUALIFY!!!!

I'm not gonna guess, as I have far too much power, as a moderator, to effect totals, post counts etc., but this sure will be fun to watch!

[Catty1]

Ummm...how many do we have now? Where do I find out?

[Karen]

On the homepage of the forums, scroll down to the bottom- you'll see how many users are online, and then below that is the Pet Talk statistics section.

[binka_nugget]

P.S.

Oh, I forgot, It's also counts if no one picks the exact date, closest one to the date, ties broken by the person who posted their date first!

[RICHARD]

Looks like we almost have a winner!!!

750 to go!!!!:D

[Daisy and Delilah]

Almost there!!! Cool!!:)

[RICHARD]

< 190!!!!!!!

[Cinder & Smoke]

I'd bet on TODAY ~

Sunday ~

December 21, 2008 will be THE Day!

Now which Time Zone is the "Official" one ...
gotta know when Today actually ends.

:D

[Randi]

Wow, just the other day, my guess was that Gini would've wun. I remember she guessed 25th.

It'll be two/three hours from now - and I'll be in bed. :p

[cyber-sibes]

OK, stupid question -- how can you tell how many posts have been made?

[Moesha]

Go to the main page of the forum and scroll all the way to the bottom. Below where it lists the online users, it has the total amount of posts.

If I had picked my birthday, I could have be the winner. Instead I thought I would try some figuring and missed it by a ton! LOL

[Cinder & Smoke]

... how can you tell how many posts have been made?

1) Scroll to bottom of this thread
2) Near the bottom, find the box on the right labeled "Forum Jump"
3) Click on the Search Forums arrow to open the scroll box
4) At the TOP of the list (Site Areas) find & highlight "Forum Home"
5) Scroll down to the bottom of the new page;
6) Find the box "Pet Talk Statistics" ...
7 Second entry on the upper line is "Posts"

Current count is about 1,999,891 = 109 to go ...

Gonna be tight to fill 'er up affore Midnite!

:D

[cyber-sibes]

1,999,966 at midnight
Guess the big post will be on Monday 12/22, huh?

(Thanks for the instructions, guys!)

[gini]

Oh, one of my favorites is going to win!! What a nice Christmas present to all of us! 2,000,000 posts - who woulda thunk it possible:D

[Cinder & Smoke]

Oh, one of my favorites is going to win!!

GONGRATS to the Chief Cook!! :)

So, what'd the Winner *win* ?? :cool:

[Killearn Kitties]

Did Laura not win the last time too?

It's a fix! It's a fix!

:D :D :D

[RICHARD]

Did Laura not win the last time too?

It's a fix! It's a fix!

:D :D :D

Here's post 1,999,991


I cant' remember is she did win......

It MAY be a fix.....we may have to burn her at the stake!:eek:;)

UPDATE?


We hit the 2.000.000th post at about 2:15 a.m. PST this morning!
I could lie and say that I was hanging on every post, but I woke up and had to peek!

Congrats to the winner!

Iam going back to crawling into bed, I left the blanket heater on and I have to get back before he takes up the whole bed....he scratches when I wake him up!

[Randi]

So does anyone know who posted the two millionth post?

[cyber-sibes]

Congratulations to Laura & PT!!!!

[Laura's Babies]

Gee whiz! AGAIN? I never win anything anytime.. Maybe I should go to the Casino and try my luck there too?

I think it was the 1,000,000 guess that I won the first time.. Just picked a birthday of someone I knew and did the same again this time. Today is Rie-Rie's birthday and that is why I picked it... NEVER thinking I would get it right! It was just a WAG! :eek: I PROMISE! Just a WAG!

Yea, so what did I win? (I hope not a cruise on the Mississippi River..:rolleyes:)

[RICHARD]

NOT just a cruise on the might Mississippi-ROUND TRIP!


Kidding...


How's about a GC from Tarh-Gey, A nice card and the thought that Rie-Rie is your lucky charm?

Send me your address~:D

---------

I think it was Killearn Kitties.


When I woke up there were three other members and I think 26 guests on board,

KK, Lady's Human, Barbara and me...

Then Barbara logged out and DavidP was on board.

[Randi]

Congratulations, Laura! :D

If anyone REALLY wants to know, some smart detective propbably could figure it out, my first post today was 72 in this thread, and it was no. 2.000.012. So I guess if we check the times that was posted before and count backwards.... :p

[RICHARD]

[Randi]

Husky Mom, I'm sure you meant, the one who posted the 2 millionth post was Richard, right? ;)

There's more detective work for you... have you noticed how many posts have been posted since? 1.550 posts since Dec 22.

[Husky_mom]

I actually took your word as you were the 2 millionth 12.. and went back...

I was checking by date and time.. so any post between 2:52 am and 2:15 am of every thread was possible...

richard had one at 3:15... which I´m not sure if it´s real time or it was his time which is one hour later so 3:15 would be 2:15...

in case not I´ll hae to keep looking back...haha.. I stopped at # 7..

oh and yeah.. I meant the one who made the post... not the one who won the guess

[RICHARD]

OH, no.......YOu HAD to get me involved one way or another!

If it was me, I am honored!:D

[Husky_mom]

actually now I´m not sure.. LOL...:p

it says my previous post is the 2,109,325... and yours Richard is the 2,109,336... but on the main page it says we´re just down to 2,001,567...

soooo.... not sure what is going on...

you can check post number when you are going to reply... just scroll down where the other replies are shown and place your mouse over any reply (don´t click just put over it) and it´ll say post and show the number...

weird...

LOL
