    It is imminent, perhaps next week. What exciting prize is offered for the person who posts it3?

    And, of curiosity, I wonder about the rather large discrepancy between the figure for total number of messages (48,368 at this moment, adding up the totals for the five fora), and the cumulative total given on the opening screen (48,691). What happened to those other 323 messages? Lost in a maelstrom somewhere off Norfolk Island, perhaps?

    Excellent idea, John!

    The person who makes post #50,000 deserves something. DegreeInfo has become a valuable reservoir of DL information:

    1. Hated by the shills and mills.
    2. Loved by true DL advocates.
    3. Subculture for the progressive.

    Possible prizes for consideration:

    1. DegreeInfo Honorary Chancellorate
    2. DegreeInfo Honorary Doctorate
    3. Four free tickets to tour the campus of Trinity College/University.
    4. Luxury cruise (his/her) to Norfolk Island.
    5. Autographed copy of Bears' Guide.
    6. Genuine Dalai Lama T-Shirt.
    7. Dog-eared copy of Name-it-Frame-it.
    8. University of San Moritz application form.
    9. E-picture of the Rev. Dr. Chief Swift Eagle
    10. Ten University of Liverpool stickers.

    Russell, Box number 4 it is as my prize. I want to find where the 323 missing messages are..this will be like the TV show survivor, maybe they will be in a bottle?

    Here's some speculation.
    1. Messages that were deleted because they violated TOS.
    2. Articles were maybe counted that are available from the front page.
    3. Private adminstrators only forum makes a sixth forum.
    4. My favorite since I'm a programmer, program error caused by something unusual. For example when new forums were spun off or threads were moved from one forum to another some of the messages were counted twice.
