Since I guess the 2000000 post correctly

The person who posts immediately after the person who posted the 1999999 post</font>
I will stay with my winning strategy and state that the person who posts the 3000000 post will be the person who posts immediately after the person who posts the 2999999 post.

What do I win besides everyone's esteem?

And on the same lines I am going to say....someone on Flyertalk http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/rolleyes.gif http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Any contests for when that 3,000,000 post will come in?

As I recall, I wasn't all that off for 2,000,000.... :D

aloha

We'll probably hit the milestone sometime in July. We're running at ~ 100,000 posts per month. Wow.

This game is on page 216 and has well over 8,000 posts. I say that the 3 millionth post will come from this thread. I say either jfe or KiwiFlyer. Maybe I will do it as I am trying to catch those 2 Yahoos. ;)

Why is it that on the main forum page there are 2,826,xxx posts but according to the url this is post 2,832,773?

Maybe because of all those threads that got "lost" in the transition from UBB to vBulletin???

The game is now on page 331 and has 13229 posts. The post totals are as follows (for the top 11):


Kiwi Flyer 2550
jfe 2196
empedocles 1089

FewMiles 824
flamboyant 1 569
RobotDoctor 564
500 miles at a time 562
Jenbel 468
rkt10 454

Maybe one of these members will get the 3 millionth post. ;)

Can't be too long now since we are currently at

2,986,987 posts

Guess since the number is posted at the bottom of the forum list there will be no contest this time :p

I'm sure everyone will be waiting for the tally to reach 2,999,990 or so, and then furiously post away all sort of meaningful information. So I predict that the count will go quickly past the 3 millionth post. We're averaging 3,000 posts a day, but I predict that the day when the 3 million mark is reached, we'll at least to 5,000.

Actually, we are now (and July 10, midnight GMT I think) at 2,993,916. So it will be tomorrow or the day after...

Where are you getting your number from. On the first page I see 2,989,328 posts as of now.

The URL for your post (the one I quote) and that you can get by clicking on the post number in the thread is

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showpost.php?p=2995726

I suppose that the number after the p is the number of post (as it is steadily growing and that we are not to 3,000,000). I don't know why there is a discrepancy with the total number of post on the first page... But the URL method will make the winner of the 3,000,000 post readily apparent.

But perhaps I am totally wrong and the post # is just a reference ?
