I am almost certain that every hour in and around the ground zero time is already taken, and 41 pages in it would take a mysql dump and a lot of grep to figure out who's got what... but cheating? not if someone hasn't already gotten it I can't imagine, but Jer makes the rules.

Cheers,

Finegan

and so the countdown begins....

about 500 more posts to go; ya, finegan is probably right in saying that today between 3 and 4 is probably when it will happen

happy 1 millionth post everyone!

*btw: how do we determine what the 1 millionth post was?

Last night, I thought the millionth would be here around now. Looks like it is going to be in just a few hours

Actually, that won't be the actual 1 millionth post.. over the years, threads have been deleted, etc. So you can't go by the actual id of the post but rather the actual 1 millionth post..

Cause if you look at the counter on the main forum page, we haven't passed the mark but even my post here states its the 1000141 post made.

Cheers.

Plus wasn't it also true that in the past, posts in "General" were counted, but some time ago the decision was made to not count them in the post count. I suspect that may also be a factor. -- J.W.

they would still have a tread number though, other wise there was no way to read them.

Actually, they don't count in your own personal post number count, but they are still added elsewhere..

At the rate we're going now and if no posts or threads get deleted, post number 1000512 should be the actual 1 millionth post as we are ahead by that many posts according to the id's associated with them, etc.

Cheers.

Edited: Made a mistake in post number.
