Countdown to 3 million posts

[Redbelly98]

118 to go! Uh, 117 now.

 

[FtlIsAwesome]

Oh, no reason... I'm especially not trying to eliminate competition or anything.

Sneaky.

 

[jhae2.718]

Still fairly low odds too get the 3e6-th post.

 

[jhae2.718]

109 to go...

[Edit: anyone else notice that sometimes post counts and such take a while to update?]

 

[Drakkith]

This is like new years, but without the time zones!

 

[Redbelly98]

I have an idea. No one post anything for the rest of the day.

Why? So we can delay this to Saturday.

If we try to delay it, the Europeans will start posting again when they wake up, and we're asleep. They'll have all the fun and we'll miss out.

right, it's not instant, saves the database a bit

You seem to assume that I sleep on Friday nights. I don't know where you get this assumption.

 

[jhae2.718]

Makes sense.

 

[jhae2.718]

89 to go!

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

50 more!

 

[lisab]

Hmm. Should I stay at work, where I don't want to be, to witness the big post first hand? Or go home and catch the re-run?

 

[FtlIsAwesome]

50 more!

I'm going to die...

 

[Astronuc]

50 more!

43 and it will happen in the next hr - or 20 minutes.

 

[FtlIsAwesome]

Hmm. Should I stay at work, where I don't want to be, to witness the big post first hand?

Witness it first hand, of course.

Or go home and catch the re-run?

What!? There's no such thing as reruns!

 

[FtlIsAwesome]

Someone should go kick the people who aren't here and get them to come. We're having so much fun.

 

[jhae2.718]

34 to go!

 

[jhae2.718]

Wouldn't it be ironic if the 3 millionth post was "0 to go!"?

 

[Redbelly98]

Are we there yet?

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

ugh I am so hungry, c'mon already! :D

 

[Char. Limit]

Can this be the 3 millionth post?

 

[lisab]

ugh I am so hungry, c'mon already! :D

I know just what you mean, I want to go home now!

 

[FtlIsAwesome]

I'm scared.

 

[Char. Limit]

I am hungry too... I haven't eaten in a whole two hours...

 

[G01]

Just doing my part to get us there.

...So how 'bout them Yankees?

 

[FtlIsAwesome]

I did the smart thing and ate a whole pizza earlier.

The Packers are totally going to win the Super Bowl next year. I guarantee it.

 

[jhae2.718]

Almost 13 to go!

 

[FtlIsAwesome]

14 left!

Ahhhhh!

Panic!

Terror!

Fear!

Run!

Scream!

@jhae2.718: beat me to it

 

[Char. Limit]

Less then 10! Begin the countdown!

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 !

 

[jhae2.718]

~3 to go!

 

[jhae2.718]

~2 to go!

 

[FtlIsAwesome]

This isn't the 3,000,000th post.

 

[jhae2.718]

0 to go!

 

[Char. Limit]

Let this be the post~!

Damn it!

 

[FtlIsAwesome]

This isn't the 3,000,000th post either.

 

[jhae2.718]

And we are over 3 million!

 

[lisab]

YAY!

Now I can go home .

 

[Borek]

3,000,003 was the closest I have seen.

Edit:

 

[Char. Limit]

I feel exhausted.

 

[FtlIsAwesome]

Ooooooh... I've been beaten... ow...

 

[Char. Limit]

So just to check, what WAS the 3-millionth post?

 

[jhae2.718]

Next up is 1 million threads.

After that, 1 million members, and then PF undergoes Phase 2 Repurposing.

 

[FtlIsAwesome]

And we are over 3 million!

w00t!





NOW TELL ME WHO IS THE 3,000,000TH POSTER?

 

[G01]

We should have had a ball drop in Times Square or something. That was somewhat anticlimactic...

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

And the 3,000,000th post is...

Are you kidding? There was an epic fight to see who would be the 3 millionth poster!

EDIT: And then none of the people fighting for it won.

And the 3,000,000th post is...

https://www.physicsforums.com/showpost.php?p=3196455&postcount=138

YAY!

While posting that, I was wondering how close I'd get, but thought it would be too early.

...So, the prize money? Where do I pick it up again?
