You already have a Gold account.
So the 2,999,999th and 3,000,001th engage in PF chess match to determine who gets it. :biggrin:


At least, that's just my idea...

All I really have to do for gold membership is remember to print off a few of those flyers and throw them up before the physics festival my school is having next weekend.

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

Not too late to go back and edit in a post-script. Of the kind that can only fit in the margin of a book.

Congrats G01, and Greg, and everyone! I managed to watch live until about -300, then it was bedtime. Just caught up on the rerun.

Greg, you've got to do a PF T-shirt, sweater, and probably coffee/tea mug, and beer stein!

PF - 3000000 and counting!
 
  • #182
Since many people view without posting, I wonder what that metric would look like...

How many views? I bet it would be "Billions Served".
 
  • #183
Probably. I know I lurked for a while before I registered.

I wish I found it earlier. :cry:

You've earned the right to cheat. :-p
