AFF's 100,000th post thread....

[simongr]

Been a busy day today...

 

[Bundy Bear]

Been a busy day today...

Not quite busy enough.

 

[JohnK]

Looks like Bundy Bear will win and oz_mark will finish runner up just ahead of JohnK by a few minutes or more.

The furthest guess 1 week away from actual 100,000th post looks like going to Evan with stuartfaz still a rough shot.

I knew I should have posted my report on a daily basis but just did not quite have enough time.

Still undecided on who will post the 100,000th post.

Official results will follow as soon as possible....

 

[kpc]

As long as there are 24 (oops make that 23) posts in the next 4 & 1/2 hours, Bundy Bear will be declared the winner!!

 

[JohnK]

Only 17 posts to go now.

Off to get the Brisbane-Charleville bus now so can someone please keep an eye on the 100,000th post for me please?

 

[littl_flier]

No probs JohnK. It's been a frenzy today. I don't think anyone counted on today's posting rate.

At last count, Serfty was approaching 40 posts for the day. :shock:

He must have the promise of a beer or a bundy & coke from someone (post 99995 I think)

lol, it's always good having your posts, lumped or not. When I log on each night and see only 22 new threads for 24 hours, it's a little sad.

Unless there were two deleted posts today it should have been futaris's post here:

30/01/08 14:00 Bundy Bear prediction
30/01/08 18:45 half way time between the 2 of them
30/01/08 23:30 oz_mark prediction

16.34 (4:34pm) was may take on post 100,00

 

[serfty]

this is post#100026, it's vbulletin reference # is 158163, that gives a difference of 58137.

Yesterday there was a difference of 58136, so I was looking for post #158136.

This indicates to me that one post has been deleted today so, depending on when that post was deleted would point to post 100K.

• If before 16:34, then this: Looking for best deal from LAX to BNE - any suggestions?
• If on or after, then this: QF1.. Why is it leaving later than scheduled?

I suggest we leave to JohnK to adjudicate!

 

[oz_mark]

I vote it was this one

[futaris]

Ooh. Does that mean I wrecked it for everyone?

NB, I think this is my 500th post. So two milestones for me on AFF. :mrgreen:

So by that countback, it appears that Moi might have posted the 100,000 post. Shame (and please give it a good audit) :mrgreen:

Congrats Bundy Bear /Oz_mark on winning the comp! Looking forward to meeting you in a couple of weeks.

 

[futaris]

Oh well. I got the last 5-digit post on AFF, I guess. Its like watching the odometer click over.

So when do we have to get AFF's timing belt replaced?

 

[straitman]

Which ever way this goes I would like offer my congratulations the winner and now let's all look forward to the next 100,000 posts and a bigger and better forum :!:

 

[Hawkeye]

Assuming that littl_flier is indeed the correct 100K poster, nobody had him as 1st choice for the subcontest.

QF009 and Reggie had littl_flier as second choices, so I suspect Reggie may be it as he had the closest time-point for the main contest.

All pure speculation, of course, until determined by the judge!

I've got a headache from trying to interpret the rules of the contest ...:mrgreen: http://www.frequentflyer.com.au/community/members/littl_flier.html
