4 MILLIONTH Post Countdown - Predictions Anyone?

OK then, double entries all get the same payout. Very nice Springer.



Here's a trim down of JacKatMtn's list limited to the most likely winners.



Edit: I just noticed that if it goes to the 28th of March Springer will need to send a T-shirt to himself.
Though I don't think it will get close to that.

Let's all post like crazy and get it done by the 7th.

I got it wrong... But I'm not bitter or anything!

Why would I want to get this done by the 7th!?


I'm still in the running!!!

I'm heading to Las Vegas in March, so I guess I'm out of the running!

But, more exciting, got tickets already for Bette Midler!! She's replacingt Celine Di....Ohnnnn! at Caesar's

Speaking of 4 millionth post! Hope this is it!! No?

Ah, well...anyone else heard about tickets to 'O', the Cirque du Soleil show?

'cause am trying to get four tickets for 'O'....in LAS, weekend of March 14-16.....

Thanks in advance....

(BTW, since this is a 'post countdown' site, thought it was fair game....)

phew... just made the cutoff... come on the 8th

*runs off to become a post whore*

That is AWESOME!

Looks like the time is drawing near, 3,963,166 means just under 40k posts til the four millionth post.

Who will be crowned the winner? Who will be the 4 millionth poster?

Some fun days ahead, and once again thanks to all the members who join together to

Deny Ignorance

You're the BEST

Using high tech prophecy principles (also known as looking at numbers and a few quick calculations) these look most likely.

3,963,166 posts, average 3600 posts (7 day average), puts us at 10.23 days to 4 million.

Dang it! Just a day short by your prediction.

I need to find a heck of an idea for a thread to attract more posts!!

oooohhhh.. interesting.

I wonder if it will be a case of "I just knew it"
Or a case of "blast, missed it by a few hours"

Either way, anything can happen.. and we're getting closer too..

Looks like my guess will be a few days off.

Oh well, my unofficial guess is going to be for the 11th.

Course, you could look at it like this, to quote Homer Simpson:

"You can use statistics to prove anything. 40% of people know that."

Somewhere around 21,000 posts left.

Looks like today is the day folks!!!

3,998,284 as of 9:05 ADT

OMG!!!!!

I just realised...

I've only got 3 hours and 15 minutes left until March the 13th for me..

it's 8.48pm of the 12th as i post this

It's gonna be today folks!!!!

Less than 2,000 to go.

Is it too late to enter my prediction (now that we are approaching the ZERO hour)?

we're going to need some clarification as to the time zone.

I'm going to assume we're going with Eastern Time (NYC) as that is the so called global headquarters but I'll let one of the amigos weigh in on that.

Since the posts are on the server, we are going to use the server clock which is Central Standard Time U.S., it is currently 10:36AM on that clock.

Whoever picked today is going to win.

Agreed.

After myself and several others had posted our predictions, some had put in their time zone initials, others hadn't.

It wasn't until page 7 when this post actually set a time zone;
www.abovetopsecret.com...

So even if it does fall on the 12th for all you over there, and it falls on the 13th for me, then I'll still be right in my time zone. But of course, judges decisions are final and it's all been good fun anyway

Big congrats to the winner/s whoever it may be.
An even BIGGER congrats to everyone on ATS who has made it so.

(laugh my head off if this is the 4 mil post )

I didn't realize JacKat had established a time zone, since he did and it's well before my post above, we'll honor the EST (U.S. Eastern Standard Time) time zone for the contest.
