[serfty]

Congratulations AFF for the milestone

Congratulations to tanewi for the most accurate guess!

Well done tanewi, well done AFF, onwards to the next milestone ...

prediction 30 November 2006 @ 8:19pm.

tanewi was the last to mke a prediction some 8 days go. Just goes to show that holding off until the last has is dividends ...

 

[Shano]

Well done tanewi and congratulations to all AFF posters

Will have to wait for the next competition to try and add my name to the illustrious list on the winners podium

I see JohnK is nearing 4,000 posts..... but at his posting rate he will be there before anyone can post a prediction

I predict JohnK will reach 4,000 posts before the end of the year. Did I get my guess in in time?

Congratulations to AFF and also to tanewi for joining the ranks of 'Master Speculators.'

This is certainly a title to be envied (though I'm not sure why)

As promised I've a small gift for the newest 'Master Speculator,' so if you PM me your details I'll send it off to you.

With this post, AFF is already only has 49,938 more to go before it hit 100,000 posts.

More to the point, sometime soon, AFF with have it 3000th registered member.

I'm sure Clifford will be extremely happy with that particular milestone.

Too late for another guessing thread?

I notice there is a new record made tonight for the most users online:

"Most users ever online was 274, Today at 09:03 PM."

(At least since the new BB software was installed).

Looks like this site is getting busier and busier. Also as discussed, we are now up to 2999 members... 3000th member is probably set to join tonight sometime.

I will guess before Christmas

 

[JohnK]

"Most users ever online was 274, Today at 09:03 PM."

"Most users ever online was 274, Yesterday at 10:03 PM."

It was equalled again 1 hour later. Isn't that amazing? :shock:

I know AFF is growing steadily but could these statistics be a reflection of someone spamming? Although the number of users keeps increasing, how many of these users are core users?

I may get over the line to 4,000 posts first before Kiwi Flyer but I don't think I have chance in the race to 5,000 posts.

In a day and a half he has added 56 posts! He has been averaging over 20 posts a day for the last month or so. Not to mention he is almost at 24,000 posts on FT! How he finds time to work 8+ hours/day, post as much as he does to at least 2 discussion boards, fly as much as he does and still have time to eat, drink and sleep is beyond me.

Tanewi doesn't frequent AFF that often so you may not get a response for a while. If it makes it easier you can give the gift to me at Ozfest IV and I will pass it on to him when I see him.

Thanks again for putting on a mystery prize on this thread.

He must be a very quiet person in the 3D world with a very busy fingers (that was meant for a compliment, hope Kiwi Flyer is not offended by it)

FT being down may have resulted in an increased posting rate here!

Yes, as did being offline for a few days beforehand.

Thanks Guys - just blind luck really - sorry about squeezing you out like that Kiwiflyer. Seems an anti-climax now.

JohnK - still on for July trip to Thailand? It will be the first time we have flown together in the same cabin!

Thailand? July? Hmm, thoughts are brewing in my mind......

Yes, obvious - Soccer/Football the Asian Cup kicks off in mid July - co-hosted by Thailand.

Welcome to our newest member, Marian Buckley

At this rate, there will be over 7000 members this time next year. AFF really is growing fast!

Not if I get upgraded to business class.

Actually come to think of it the suggestion you made earlier about going over on Jetstar Starclass may be a better idea than I initially thought. I will need to weigh up this option as opposed to using FF points to get to BKK. We will discuss again before finalising plans.

You are welcome to tag along Mark....

After all we are patriotic Aussie supporters. Or at least something along those lines....
