3 million posts contest! Mission accomplished!

post #1 of 485
Thread Starter 
We are fast approaching 3,000,000 posts in our database!

To mark this occasion, we are offering a $50 Amazon gift voucher to the member who puts up post 3,000,000

As an extra incentive, if we reach this milestone before January 1, we will also donate $100 to the animal shelter of the choice of the member who makes post 3,000,001

The post has to be in line with our forum rules and published outside the mods-only forum. Should post #3,000,000 be any different, the prize will go to the the member who makes the next eligible post.

If you look at this post, in the top right hand corner of the post, it will say #1, with the 1 being in blue. You can either hover over it, or click on it, and at the end of the link, it will have p=2969768. This is what post number we're up to.

So we need 30,232 more posts to reach the goal! With some big holidays coming up, and people being rugged up in front of their computers keeping warm (at least in the Northern Hemisphere), I think we can do it before January 1!

So get posting, and start thinking about how you will spend YOUR prize

Great contest idea. The number thing doesn't seem to be working for me. I see the #1 at the top of the message, but when I click on it, it just opens the single message in a new window, not showing any numbers. Maybe it's my computer.

Yep, you need to look in the address bar - it will say http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...68&postcount=1. It's the p=2969768 part that you want to look at. When you're reading a new post, it will also have the post number (p=xxx), or the thread number (t=xxx) in the link in the address bar. It's the p= number that you're looking for

Okay, now I see it. I was looking in the wrong place.

Oh wow! What a great prize! I love Amazon, everything is so much cheaper there. We buy things from Amazon about twice a month or so, that money would be great for us Good luck everyone!

Wow! I remember the last time there was some kind of contest like this. I was on when we reached it; it went to a member who wasn't even paying attention to the post count!

Just look at the address bar, and look for p= the number after that is the post number we're up to
post #27 of 485
I just noticed this thread today. But, for those of you who remember the, ahem, Easter egg hunt from earlier this year, you should know that I'm quite competitive . Thus, even with the use of just one hand, I'm going all in. And, to get things started (for me, anyway), I just completed post 2972972.

I don't post just to post, though, so this should be fun. I don't expect to win, but it's always exciting to have the "what if" factor. Good luck, everyone! I just wanted to post this because I thought the post number I got was cool. I'm a dork like that, he he !

Happy posting!

I did some math (physics major, it's a habit) and the site averaged between 400 and 430 posts per day the past week, which means it would take over 60 days to get the next ~27000 and reach 3 million. We would have to double the average daily posts to get to the goal before the new year.

Are we going to reach 3 million by New Year's Eve?
post #30 of 485
No, I just explained how we weren't.
