I was looking at the post count on the main page and see that PT has passed 900,000 posts!!


I was thinking about when the site would pass 1,000,000

And thought it might be fun to try and guess when the millionth post would be posted....


It's no contest......It's just to see who can come closet to the date..

Enter early, enter often.

Any post after Jan 31 2005 doesn't count;)


My guess is April 7, 2005

Given the fact that PT started in June of 2004, and it has taken 4 1/2 years to get to 900,000 posts that is about 200,000/year, or 100,000 in about 6 months...BUT I know there are a lot more members now then 4 1/2 years ago, so I will take that number in half.

That means about 3 months...which means somtime in March.

I'll go with Spot's Gotcha Day...March 17

RICHARD!!! You beat me to this lol! I was noticing a few weeks ago that one million's coming up fast, and was going to start a thread. :) I'm not going to guess, but what's the prize for the person who posts the 100,000,000th post? :confused: :D

100,000,000 OR 1,000,000???

I guess I can look into the Prize Vault and find something of value.....

Let's find out who wins first.....A gift certificate to Joe's Rib Shack in Los Angeles ain't gonna do anyone in New York any good...

An animal gift pack sounds about right....


Dog or Cat owner???

I guess I'll have to post some rules....

I have a calendar where all the guesses will be recorded....

A small gift(s) will be mailed out.....It depends on who wins and what pets they have.

But what if someone decides to, say, delete a thread or something, and the post count hits a million, then goes back under - will there be two prizes? What's to stop people from their own manipulation of the outcome? ("Oooh, it's almost there, and my guess is two days away - I'll just go delete some of my own old posts ...")

LOL,

I never thought about that, I believe that everyone is basically honest.

But then again I don't work for th Internal Revenue Service.

:confused:

I think that everyone will be watching the count closely and and we will know when it happens the FIRST time!!:)

Karen
01-31-2005, 07:30 PM
I will refrain from guessing, as I am a moderator, and could too easily affect the outcome unintentionally. I tend not to notice when people's posts (including my own) near a milestone, and it'd be just my luck to change the count by deleting a thread of someones just as it got to 999,999. If that happens, remember, I didn't guess, and have no stake in the final outcome! ;)

An odometer is the little meter that measures the mileage on a car!

I was looking at the post count (number of posts on PT) and thought it would be fun to see who could guess the date, it turned into a contest to see when PT hits the one million post mark!

That means about 3 months...which means somtime in March.

I'll go with Spot's Gotcha Day...March 17

Funny thing is, I went back and looked...Spot's gotcha day was actually the 16th :eek: Pretty close, anyway you look at it!!

What time zone are we using for this anyway?

Does anyone know who made the post? They need a sig or something. Also, I would love a nice polo shirt commemorating this event. Paul and Karen, could you possibly come up with a design and sell it on cafepress.com?

RICHARD
03-18-2005, 12:23 PM
WOW!!!

That was fun....

For the record I hit 77,777 miles on my car this week:rolleyes:

I will contact Laura and get her vital info, Number of furkids and addy....and CONGRATULATIONS!!

Thanks to everyone who took a guess, to everyone who checked the thread and especially to Karen, Paul and Miss Hoppy for making this possible...

Imagine that....

A place on the internet where pet people can get together and post pictures, chat, get info, suggestions and have a good time.

:D

P.S.

Dick Clark is "the world's oldest teenager"..He hosted a music show years ago and up until last year would spend New Year's Eve hosting the countdown to the "ball drop" (that crystal ball in New York's Times Square that goes down the pole at midnight).

He also would do a Top 40 music countdown show too!!

As a man who spend his life counting down we thought he was a good choice to help us out.

You all rock!!!:D :D

Thanks ACM! I had hoped I would be back to see this happen even though I picked a date that I would be gone. I wanted to be in on the thrill and excitement of it when it actually happened.

I picked March 18th simply because it was my first husbands birthday even though he died over 30 years ago.. I always remember him on his birthday and that is the ONLY reason that I picked that date..

CONGRATULATIONS PET TALK!!

Thanks to Karen, Paul and Miss Hoppy for making this the best place on the web! There is a great bunch of people here that fill this place with love and education for the betterment of our little 4 legged fur babies.
