Which do you think we will reach first? (contest with prize within)

[TheHolo.Net]

Ten Million pageviews?

or

Half a Million posts?

My guess is ten milllion pageviews, but its probably going to be a close race.

See the contest rules in post #11 of this thread

[Figrin D'an]

Are we taking bets? ;)

[Lord Van-Derveld]

Pageviews, definetly. For every post you get a lot of pageviews normally, and not every view is follow by someone posting.

[TheHolo.Net]

Bet if you wish. ;)

Right now we have approximately 490,765 posts and approximately 9,786,633 pageviews.

Thats about 9,000 or so posts needed and about 210,000 or so pageviews needed.

*Goes to post and screw up the prediction.*

:D

[TheHolo.Net]

Hmm, maybe I could give away an @sw-fans.net email address to the person who most accurately guesses when we will hit half a million posts?

[Dasquian Belargic]

You're such a rebel ;)

I still think with Googlebots helping out, views will win :)

Is there a way to tell who has the 500,000th post? We could do a nice prize for whomever gets that, just as a random fortune kind of thing. Like maybe a special signature or something?

[TheHolo.Net]

Okay, why not.

Contest Rules:

1. Posters have 72 hours (3 days) from the start of this contest to choose a day they think the forums will reach 500,000 posts.

2. If two people pick the same day, the first to choose the correct day wins the prize.

3. Only one pick per individual person (no multiple name picks).

4. The prize: Your very own WhateverNameYouWant@sw-fans.net email address

P.S. For our overseas friends: Please put today's current date in your post (the day you make the post) so I can adjust for timezone differences.

There is no way to tell except to watch like a hawk.

[TheHolo.Net]

This contest is being held in the BO forum as well. In this topic:

[Kelt Simoson]

[Hapan Expeditionary Fleet]

I will guess that the day will be September 31st, 2003.

Way too late but I predict the 28th of sept.

[TheHolo.Net]

After doing some host straining thread cleanup (deleting of very large topics that were ccessed often, archiving them in txt format first), I have decided to wipe everyone's answers for this contest and start it over again. The rules are the same as before and I will give people five days to choose their picks for the date when they believe we will reach half a million posts.

I want to clarify something I did not fully express in my previous post. People who made picks the first time around who do not choose to pick a new date will retain their original date of choice, and not be disqualified from the contest, but in the event they would like to adjust their choice for our overall lower total post count now, will be allowed.

Make a fresh pick or stick with your old one. No one is being disqualified from the contest, but all are being given a second chance.

Entries/adjustments will be accepted until this coming Saturday.
