Guess what day/time we reach 250k posts, win prizes

Post by matthew1 »

Right now we're at 223,785 posts.

Just reply to this topic with the day and time when you think we'll hit 250,000 posts and you'll get two MVS T-shirts (medium and large) and three MVS stickers. I should have the stickers by then.

The closest guess wins, whether you're above or below the actual day/time. I'll lock this post in 10 days, so get your guesses in soon!

One rule: no posting irrelevant posts to nudge the post count toward your guess as the day/time approaches. Normal questions and answers are fine.

Let's say all guesses' times be given taken as Greenwich Mean Time. So don't indicate any timezone. They'll all be GMT.

You two above -- don't change your posts, I'll translate those to GMT when the Big Day comes.
