Author Topic: One Million Posts - When will it happen? (Read 2813 times)

Graybeard · « **on:** January 20, 2009, 12:25:49 PM »

Some time in the next 24 hours someone will make a post and it will become number one million 1,000,000.

We talked about this awhile back and several folks made their prediction of when it would happen. I dunno when that thread was begun or where really. It would be interesting if we could find it and see who came the closest to the correct date/time.

When will it happen? Dunno we're only 459 shy of it as I type this. Yesterday we did over 700 so my current best guess is it will happen tomorrow morning between 6:00 and 9:00 AM CST. Any other guesses?

If you happen to notice when it rolls over to one million please post the when on this thread. It's been a long time coming but it's here and tomorrow we'll all see it change from 999xxx to 1,000,xxx during the day. It's quite a big event I think to become a site with a million posts.

Had we not deleted classified posts when items sold for so long we'd have been there a year or two back.

Bill, is it true you get $1.00 for every post made here?

DalesCarpentry · « **Reply #3 on:** January 20, 2009, 12:57:24 PM »

My guess is between 10:00 and 11:00 AM tomorrow.

It would great if we could keep a good eye on it so we knew who made the post. Dale

I would guess 11:59 tonite. There will be more activity tonite than there has ever been in one night im guessin. I'm trying to hold out as long as I can before I turn on the boob toob because every station is going to be cluttered with the face that America can't get enough of. (I think I just threw up in my mouth)

Don't I wish. Closer to a penny tho payment isn't by posts made.

DalesCarpentry · « **Reply #8 on:** January 20, 2009, 01:32:31 PM »

Well as of now there have been 999608 made. We are only 398 from one million. Dale

Well they say today is a historical day. I would much rather remember it for being the day when GBO got to 1,000,000 posts. Than for that other issue.

Thank you and congratulations Graybeard, on the impending millionth, and for bringing this forum and all of us together. I have read numerous forums but this is the only one I post to because of all the views pointed out and the rules you keep. My day goes by much more pleasantly by reading and communicating with like minded brothers and sisters. For all in the GB cyber family - thank you and keep the posts coming!

I will venture to say it will be sometime around 6 am and the post will probably have something to do with Obama. What a waste on the 1,000,000thn post. Hope I'm wrong. Congrats to the lucky poster.

If the one millionth post is about the new Prez I think that person should be banned for life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dale

I guess that whoever makes that post gets a new custom rifle, I think I'll stay up.

Graybeard · « **Reply #24 on:** January 20, 2009, 06:36:48 PM »

Only 131 to go but it's already 11:35 PM CST. I don't see it happening today but it will happen over night while I'm sleeping almost for certain. When I wake up and log on in the morning it will have rolled over a milion. I hope whoever makes it can recognize and less us know cuz I'll likely sleep thru it. Now Matt might be up watching.

Matt · « **Reply #25 on:** January 20, 2009, 08:34:17 PM »

the message# for the post number 1,000,000 should be msg1098729647 the bad thing is that without the topic ID I dont know how to find the post. This is based on the fact we are 103 posts away of the time of this post and the current msg# is msg1098729544.

And no I will not stay up to see it...
