When will we hit 10,000 posts?

Very simple contest. Just tell me when you think this forum will hit 10,000 posts. The closest person wins 50 posts, second 25 posts,

A couple more things:

  • Please give a date and time when posting (with the time in GMT, although I don't expect it'll make much difference)
  • All times must differ by at least three hours. This is to prevent, say, one person guessing "18th February at 10:30pm", and the next guessing "18th February at 10:31pm", which ruins the competition for the first player).
  • This contest closes when we hit 9,000 posts. No point in guessing when we're very close!


Enjoy!

What is the prize for the person who came the closest? (Or the punishment for the person who came the furthest :P ?)

OK. I didn't realise that was there.

What is the punishment for the person who comes last? (If you're going to have a prize for the person who came closest, surely it would make equal sense to have a punishment, too :P ?)

Well, I expect nobody would enter the contest then, for fear of being punished.

I'd be the one punished. I think I'm wrong to begin with...

Sweet. That's something to be proud about, I guess.

Uh ... wasn't this to 10,000 posts? Why close it now?

I said in the first post that I would be closing it at 9k. The reason is that there isn't really any point in guessing when we're too close to 10,000 - it's too easy to predict when we'll hit it if we're only a few hundred posts away.

The winner of this contest is Candyguitar, who was only 7 hours off with his guess! He wins 50 posts, Monsterman wins 25 for 2nd place, FlamingFireExtinguisher wins 10 for 3rd place, and thecostumedanceparty wins 5 for 4th place.

Well done to everyone!
