A little forum numerology

The General forum has, this morning, 24,496 threads and 249,052 posts.

What are the odds that thread number 25,000 will be post number 250,000?

And can you remind me what the prize is for the person who makes the quarter-millionth post?

 

a free membership to DegreeInfo Distance Learning - online degree forum - The Front Page

 

LOL I love it!!!

 

...that'll take me a while to get done...

 

My money is on Ted. I'm calling it right now, Ted wil hit the 250,000 milestone.:sgrin:

 

Ditto!

Abner :smile:

 

Hey, I'm nowhere near my 25,000th post.

 

The question is, how will we know who actually make the 25,000th post? Does DegreeInfo have access to see which number post belongs to which user?

 

While I trust Ted implicitly I need to remind our members that Mods have THE POWER and can control which posts show and which do not. Ted is as honest as the day is long but I, on the other hand, am completely willing to accept bribes.:saevilw:

 

Nope......

 

Hmm ... With 24,496 threads and 249,052 posts, we need 504 more threads and 948 more posts. So if the next 504 threads have an average of about 2 posts apiece, we might make 25,000/250,000 at about the same time. No guess as to who will put us over those threshholds.

 

... and a free Bears' Guide 17th edition and a gift certificate for the Bears' Guide posthumous edition would really sweeten the deal.

 

Never fear, Abner is here. I am overnight fed exing you two cases of Rockstar enegry drinks!!!!! You will meet the 250,000 in no time.

Abner :smile:

 

Ted: ... and a free Bears' Guide 17th edition . . . would really sweeten the deal.

John: You're on, Ted. As of this very day, Random House (which owns Ten Speed Press) expressed serious interest in a new edition.

 

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait.

Abner :smile:

 

So you are saying that Ted's honesty varies depending on his latitudinal position and the time of year it is? Hmm, sounds about right. :smirk:

Well, I wasn't exactly thinking of it that way but now that you mention it, you might not want to make any important deals with Ted on December 21st.:no:

This thread is beginning to morph into the Ted Heiks Roast thread.

 

My bad. fftopic: Couldn't resist.
