AFF's 80,000th post thread.... sadly without a prize!!

[serfty]

NOON 21st August. AEST

I reserve the right to alter my prediction should I discern "post padding". In the even that I do discern post padding, I shall create a post in this thread titled "post Padding".

Any such determination of post padding shall be at my sole discretion.

Hmm, Define "Post padding".

If we are allowed to make own rules, I will reserve the right to change my prediction, should I discern that I got it wrong

I think I missed the deadline, but if I am let in I am going for August 16 at 1800 EST

Thanks for that JohnK

No problem Reggie. Good luck with your prediction.

While hoping that this post does not incur the wrath of serfty, as being post padding, I did think it worth noting that we have now past 79,000 posts and just 1,000 to go!

 

[serfty]

Me worry about post padding?

Nah, only when it stops me fron winning ...

Cheers ...

 

[Mal]

well doubt we'll get over 80000 before my guess expires...

I think it will come down to:

Evan 17/08/07 @ 12:47pm (AEST)
oz_mark 20/08/07 @ 5:23am (AEST) ***

It's all good fun!

 

[oz_mark]

I have no doubt about that happening!

Where do you find out how many posts there are.

Post padding not from me. I fly about as much as I post. What am I doing here. :?:

And will there be a prize for 100,000th post. :idea: Even advert free would be nice for the winner.

I like the other place no adverts; such a bargain at US $12.00 a year.

Hi Bundy.

Come on one and all :!:

Without being seen to post pad (as my posting rate is way down lately) I need you to post 692 posts in the next 44 hours. :evil:

You never know, if QFF and/or Velocity do actually announce a restructure of some parts of their respective programs, you might make it!

 

[Mal]

The time is near... 26 posts to go (after this post is posted!)

I think Evan has this one in the bag!

Good to see no post padding this time.

 

[straitman]

As I look now there are 80,003 posts showing.

Congratulations to all. :mrgreen:

.... and congratulations to Evan.

So what was and where was the lucky post?

 

[Mal]

I believe the 80000th post was by Jakob at 16:54:

Congrats!

 

[JohnK]

Congratulations Evan.

Thanks Mal. I have only briefly looked at the result and it does appear that Evan is the unofficial winner by a margin of a few hours.

Oz_mark had it in the bag until he predicted using UTC.
