UPDATED - READ! 7th Anniverssary and 2 Million Posts MEGA CONTEST!!!

[Anne]

Come October, we will be celebrating TheCatSite.com's 7th Anniversary!
Not only are we close to celebrating our Seventh Anniversary, but we're also fairly close to reaching 2 million posts in our database!

We'll be celebrating in style with our biggest prize ever! Almost $300 worth of prizes
await you in this thread and they'll all go to
one single lucky winner!

If you look at the link to a single post, you'll notice that each post on the site has its own unique ID number. For example, this is our first post in the database:
http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2

It's ID number is 2 (don't ask me what happened to post #1 lol, I must have tested it and then deleted).

Looking at the latest post right now, as I'm typing this, it is:
http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1955296

So, first one to post here with a link to post #1963000 gets 500 points! Same goes for posts #1964000, #1965000 and so on... until we reach the 2000000 post!
