10 million posts - guess when and who to win a prize
It is likely that 2008, being the 10th year of Flyer Talk will also see 10 millionth post - maybe even by the anniversary on 5 May?
Following the tradition for million FT posts threads (see links below), here is one for the 10 millionth post.
Million post threads in CommunityBuzz
no 9 million post thread?
8 million posts
7 million posts
no 6 million post thread?
5 million posts
4 million posts
3 million posts
another 3 million posts thread
2 million posts
another 2 million posts thread
Actual million posts
The 1,000,000th and 2,000,000th posts are unable to be identified due to thread/post renumbering on the change in FT software several years ago.

First FTer to guess closest to when the 10,000,000th (10 million) post will be made will get a prize from me. Also offering a prize for correctly guessing who will make the 10,000,000th post.
birdstrike has very generously offered 2 prizes from the FT shop also.
For the prizes there will be a cut-off 1 week prior to the 10,000,000th post when I'll stop accepting guesses, so please get them in now and dont leave it too late!
Guesses can't be amended and only 1 guess per FTer.

If one really wants to win, it's much better strategy to wait till closer to the cutoff date (of course, that date won't be known with exactitude until after the 10 millionth post occurs, but still...).
So I think I'll wait awhile before posting a guess.
