When Will the Millionth Post Be Made?

999,907... Getting really close It may not be July 1st like i predicted, but actually today instead!

This is Mattronium, Signing in for the "Millionth Post Watch" in an effort to catch the fabled Millionth post
The only problem that I see that could make it more difficult to catch the millionth post is a group of people posting about it:tinfoil:

The Posting Cycle: The closer we get to the millionth post the more people post about it, increasing the rate of posts and causing the millionth post to happen sooner. And probably causing even more people to post about it.....etc.

Millionth post in 3 2 1....

Don't think this is official the 1,000,000th post since "The Qube" posted about 20 times just to raise it up

A lot more than 20 times.

 

[Photonz]

Yea... that kind of ruined it

Yah, I know, how could anyone NOT see sooo many post by ONE person. Why do you think I made MY post

I did see it but was thinking to myself all his posts would be deleted(not count towards the 1,000,000).

I think we should just have a GB(as has been proposed before) where we buy cheap pens from LG and have them engraved. Would be much more enjoyable and avoid all this competition

I had a feeling someone with a complete disregard for respect and fairness would ruin it
Anyway, I'm all for the group buy:beer:

Yeah I think doing a commemorative GB instead of the contest is the best. In the 7 years I've been on the forum I've seen lots of contests and usually they end with a dispute and hard feeling all the way around.

I commemorative pen GB allows all members to be participate and keep a piece of LPF history.






I'm on the LPF Chat right now if anyone wants to discuss the GB.

I don't particularly care who gets the millionth post... but goddamnit I look through the recent posts to find a thread I want to see, then suddenly the qube posts 50 freaking times, I've NEVER seen that much of the recent posts section being taken by one member. Not once.

Exactly. And what makes it worse is that all of his posts are "good prices" "amazing" "good luck" "good deal"
all examples of useless, non-contributive posts that help no one

"this is a great price"
"he is a good guy"
"sweet cat"
The list goes on.

Removed as asked by Madmacmo.

All of TheQube's spam/one word posts have been removed. Count has been reset to what it was before.





As for the commemorative GB, I was thinking of the LaserGlow Sol Series as the laser to engrave:

Not too expensive, so we won't exclude members from being able to get one, yet still very unusual. We can get $10 off each one if we are able to get 10.

 

[Photonz]

If we go with the Sol Series, will it be gold or platinum? I'd prefer gold as it looks better IMO. And what would the engraving say?

 

[Ears and Eggs]

I was thinking the Gold one too. Very awesome looking.

As for the graphic I was thinking of something similar to the 5 year anniversary ones, except "1,000,000 posts" instead of "2006-2011".
