[ti]Yellow[/ti]When will we hit 140,000 posts?

Time for another one of these, because we haven't done one for a while.

Just tell me when you think this forum will hit 140,000 posts. A couple of rules, though:
  • 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 "1st December at 10:30pm", and the next guessing "1st December at 10:31pm", which ruins the competition for the first player).
  • This contest closes when we hit 139,000 posts. No point in guessing when we're very close!
Prizes are as follows:
50 posts: Closest person
25 posts: Second closest person
10 posts: Third closest person
Posted Image Yellow Ribbon: The closest person, if their guess is correct to within an hour (with the additional condition that in order to be eligible for the ribbon, they may not make the 140,000th post).

My guess is: 1st December at 2:00pm.

Good luck!

Remember that when you 'calculated' the number of beans in the box, you were under by 39 - so I hope your calculation has improved for this :P !

No, we've yet to reach the target. At the rate we're posting, it could be any of yours, mine or CJ's that are correct.

Actually, I think you've overestimated the rate at which we're posting, PL :P .

Adam looks likely to win at the moment. If it's not Adam, it'll probably be Katie.

Actually, I think PL will win.

I don't know the statistics, but I highly believe that if you were to check the stats on the days before the conclusion of these contests, the last 1000 happens much quicker than the normal pace.

Oh, how the pendulum shifts. Looks like it will be more like December 5th.

I'm not sure who's going to win. Probably you, though.

However, it's not going to be PL :P .

It was Michelle, I think.

Anyway, time to archive this.
