Countdown to 3 million posts

[jhae2.718]

It would be my luck to be the one posting it and it would have several spelling and grammatical errors. Or worse.

If that happened to me, I would pull a George Lucas and change it and insist it was always that way.

4000 posts to go!

 

[Astronuc]

1930 posts to go when I started this post, then 1925 when I submitted it!

It will definitely happen tomorrow.

 

[jhae2.718]

Getting close...

 

[rhody]

Ready...

 

[rhody]

Set...

 

[Drakkith]

Seven.

 

[rhody]

Go...

Rhody...

P.S. Let the machine gun posts fly, only to be deleted by Evo after...

We should give the 3 millionth poster a Gold membership. Whadaya say?

 

[jhae2.718]

Anyone want to write a script that takes users' post per day count, times of posting, and the data on time and number of posts until 3e6 to predict who will be the 3e6-th poster?

The most ironic thing is that the 3rd million post would be something in this topic, alluding to the 3 millionth post. I'm pretty sure that will rip a hole in the space time continuum.

What would be even better if a post like this was the 3 millionth post.

 

[jhae2.718]

Maybe the three millionth post will be a post stating that the three millionth post will be about the three millionth post being a post in the thread about the three millionth post...

[micromass]

1000 posts to go! Anybody wants to make a prediction in what forum the post is going to be? I think it's going to be in academic guidance...

 

[jhae2.718]

I'll guess one of the Homework Help forums.

 

[Evo]

It'll be a crackpot post or spam.

[Astronuc]

779 to go!

 

[Ivan Seeking]

779 to go!

778...

 

[FtlIsAwesome]

678!

Wait, that equals approximately

8.65e+1626

 

[jhae2.718]

646

Not too much longer!

 

[micromass]

596

But don't be too excited: By Zeno's paradox, we will never reach 3000000 posts

 

[jhae2.718]

But we'll converge on 3000000 posts!

 

[micromass]

Well, we'll probably reach 2999999,9999... posts, but would we have reached 3000000 then?

 

[jhae2.718]

We could get to three million just by arguing the 1 = 0.9999... thing; there's always someone who contends it's false.

 

[Evo]

Being the risk taker that I am, I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that we'll hit 3 million today.

 

[jhae2.718]

You're going out on a limb there, Evo.

 

[FtlIsAwesome]

If it breaks, make sure you're wearing a parachute.

Do GD posts add to the total PF post count?
