quick let's take bets on what time the 30 millionth post will be

[mikelgb]

EDIT BET TO: 4:20 PM PST

[bigtree]

1. a

kick :kick:

[onethatcares]

2. 1132 EST

tonite, whatever the date is. wooowoooo, I finally hit 800

[AndreaCG]

3. You mean tomorrow? It's already past 7 pst according to the post you made.

3 hours 29 minutes from now, or 11:20 pst on the DU timekeeping (which I dont understand but anyway...). I had said 12 hours before but people are going to be posting like fiends.

[ThomWV]

4. Bet it has something to do with a Cheney fuck up too ....

[soothsayer]

5. Hopefully it's an inane response to this thread. DID I WIN???

[whistle]

6. Time and date or just time regardless of date? If time only, then to add

....a competive touch lets make it hous, minutes and seconds. I'll give mine when these terms and conditions are established

[cwydro]

7. probably pretty soon I would think.

[BlooInBloo]

8. It really only makes sense to bet on a time *range*. Mebbe 5 minutes or something.

9. 4:03 pm PST

but how will we know?

[Duer 157099]

21. Doh! I only missed by about 900... ok, 3rd guess is... 4:54 PST n/t

[A HERETIC I AM]

10. It will be Elad

If anyone has a handle on the average daily rate of posts and can calculate when it will be it'll be the DU software guru.

Dave? (Allen) Just give it to Brian.

One of these days (when i get where i am going on the new career path i have chosen) DU won't have to worry about bandwidth. (promise)
Until then, keep up the good work.

My personal hope is for someone, preferably a newbie/freeper convert with 2 posts be the winner.


That is my hope. It will perfectly express the paradigm shift we all look for.

[mikelgb]

11. it is going slower than I thought

[mikelgb]

12. about 20 posts per minute

[ncrainbowgrrl]

13. Sometime during Keith Olberman's show...

more specific than that? THe first half...

[Bucky]

14. I'm going long. I say 7:28 pm Eastern time.

And the 30 millionth post will be a Lounge copycat thread making fun of movie quotes.

[Duer 157099]

31. Hurry!! I need 450 posts in the next 3 minutes! post post post! n/t

[Duer 157099]

32. Oops, I meant 350. Maybe my 3rd guess is a charm (4:54 pst) n/t

[Buns_of_Fire]

17. Precisely 0.28112 seconds after I make post #29,999,999.

...or 1.06829 seconds BEFORE I make post #30,000,001. Trust me on this one. I know how my luck works.
