When will the 100,000th post be made?
We recently forgot to celebrate the forum's second birthday, and in it's 25 months of existence we've accumulated 77,471 posts. But when will post 100,000 be made? Make your prediction by 7 March. The closest guess wins a fantastic item of Countdown memorabilia that I stole from the studio a while back.

Looks like it's down to me and Carson with 7:30pm on Friday being the turning point. And at the rate things are going right now, I'm going to miss out by literally a few hours.

Re: When will the 100,000th post be made?
Didn't read this?
We've had "the 100,000th post" already. We've yet to have 100,000 posts.
I'm not trying to be annoying, I would have thought it was the sort of vital semantics that you guys would love to talk about.
Whilst the thread says "the 100,000th post" and not 100,000 total active posts, Charlie quotes the accumulated total as "77,471 posts", whilst the post itself was the 78,210th.
So there's conflicting info going round.
I kind of wish there was a massive prize on offer here and then some of you might actually engage with my statistical study rather than ignore me like some kind of countdown forum freak.

Ah well, I hope some joker posts "the 100,000th post" and then deletes it and posts "the 100,000th post" again.

I'm looking forward to when you have a negative number of posts. But as for the "100,000th post", although we'll know when the counter has reached 100,000 will it be a viable task to work out which post triggered it, or does that not really matter anyway?Matt Morrison wrote:I'm going to delete one of my posts for every new post that is made AND LEAVE YOU HANGING IN OBLIVION FOREVER.
