4 MILLIONTH Post Countdown - Predictions Anyone?

I had considered that option, but I could very likely be wrong on occasion, as it's been known to happen. I still think we could give it a go. It would also allow us one more way to give kudos to a great post. We can give our points to someone equally deserving of them, if we see them make a good point.

Just some ideas milling around inside my skull.

Inching ever closer to 4 million......

3,800,861

I see some are trying to come up with ways to get some kind of prize for guessing the correct date, maybe we could take the ATSMIX team hostage for say 50,000 pts ?

Do you think the Amigos would pay the ransom

Looks like my february 14th estimate isn't so far off after all.

Less than 200K posts, that will only take a few weeks now. This place is really busy on the weekends as well so expect a few thousand posts today and tomorrow.

I have to disagree with feb. 14th, if it happened that fast, we'd have been there already. considering by your estimate we'd have 1 million posts in 4 months this sites been up alot longer then that on a degree of 1 mil posts every 4 months.

This puts us one more post closer to 4,000,000.

I worked my guess from the Stats page and did a little math.
The current figures are:

New posts: Past 24 hours: 3,510
New posts: Past 7 days: 23,248
New posts: Past 30 days: 88,983
New posts: Past Year: 1,012,012

I still want an ATS Bookmaker that can hold points in a pool, I think it would attract a lot of attention and not break gambling laws in any jurisdiction.


EDIT: Just curious, where do we see what number each post is ???
I think it used to be at the top of each post but I don't see that anymore.

I'll go one better than that!

I will give the person who guesses the exact day we hit 4,000,000 posts one of the ULTRA ELITE, IMPOSSIBLE TO GET, COLLECTORS' ITEM, "Remember, Remember The Fifth Of November" ATS Revolution T-Shirts and 50,000 ATS Points.

How about that?

Sounds good Springer. I could do without the points, but it sure would be cool to have an ATS t-shirt.

I hope you have a size large .

I stand by my February 14th prediction.

reply to post by Springer


Been there , done that, got the T-Shirt....unless it's a different one.
Doesn't matter,I would love it and the points as well.
Let's just hope the law of averages is on my side.


Great Idea Springer!

I don't have much hope for February, but I'll do March next and hope it falls on the 17th. I'll also work on April by tomorrow so we can keep track of everyones prediction.

Duplicate winners will have to duel with swords or pistols at dawn three days following the 4,000,000th post, and to the victor go the spoils.

Ok I think I got everyone, I had to do this because of a sheer competative urge... I know I'm right... And now there are prizes up for grabs!!!

Also I used to be a croupier (and although I would never gamble with money, it's a real mugs game) I still like to beat the odds, and sometimes play Mah Jong to see who pays for dinner!!

Also there are a few peeps with the same days, I guess, seen as we didn't have any rules, that they are allowed to stand, just have to split the points, no biggie, as it's just for fun.

Oh and Minnie gets two guesses cos she's a sweetie, but no-one else is allowed!! HA!!

And yes... I have far too much free time.
