Countdown to 3 million posts

  • Thread starter Greg Bernhardt
  • Start date
In summary, people are trying to reach 3 million posts before a certain date. There are a few bumps in the road, but if everyone posts, we could make it.

Ooooooh... I've been beaten... ow...
 
Physics news on Phys.org
  • #142
So just to check, what WAS the 3-millionth post?
 
  • #143
Next up is 1 million threads.

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

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

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.

What!?
That's a terrible post for the 3 millionth!
I want my money back!


@G01: I don't have problem with you getting the 3mth, its just that you should've wrote something far more profound for it!

It's totally better than Kurdt's 2,000,000 post!

Greg, G01,

How appropriate, a post about PF's bread and butter, academic question, how appropriate and karmic is that or what !?? :biggrin:

Rhody...

G01, you are famous, and now a rock star, and from your profile deserving, a long time PF member as well, way to go. Big thumbs up to you !

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

Congrats G01.

Think about changing your nick to G3000000.

It doesn't has the same ring to it, if you ask me.

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.
