UA Forum About to Reach 1,000,000 Post Milestone [Merged]
Looks like we're slowly inching up to Post # 1,000,000. I sure wish United would do something for the lucky person who makes the millionth post. Can someone say Luggage Tag and 27 miles?

I thought that the FT overlords were going to give the MP forum 1P status for life

Problem is, it will be damn hard to figure out which is the millionth post, since they're numbered based on total posts on all of FT, not just per forum. There's already a "10 millionth post" thread going in CBuzz, but that one will be much easier to figure out.

Oooh. If so, I wonder if they'd object to a little pool. Since miles aren't currency, we could place wagers on
When?
Who?
Or, better still, about the content. Anyone willing to post odds that the millionth post:
Is about a GA, FA, TA or VBIT
Complains about the ICC (and their incompetent mistake)
Compliments the ICC (for their beneficial incompetent mistake)
Requests compensation
Admonishes someone against using the seat map to judge upgrade chances
Discusses food (the food itself)
Discusses food (role of status in ordering)
Contains the terms "matron" or "dragon"
Reports a rumor heard from an FA
Complains about IAD/ORD/LAX/SFO (no one will take DEN)
Reports switching to UA from US/CO/DL/AA after promising never to fly US/CO/DL/AA again
Promises never to fly UA again

I don't know, something about those numbers don't look right. Roughly 960,000 posts and 72,000 threads. So on average, only 13 posts per thread?
