New LQ Contest - 1,000,000th post


This content will be similar to this one. The first person to guess the correct date and time (1 hour increments) that we will hit 1,000,000 posts will win their choice of one item from the LQ store. Your post should be in the following format:

May 11th between 10-11PM

ALL TIMES ARE IN EST (also known as LQST)! If you have any questions let me know.

Have fun...and good luck!

June 18th between 7pm - 8pm

And just to note that over a year ago I did estimate us to hit the mark around the first two weeks of May. Instead of keeping the current pace, it seemed LQ slowed down for a short time so I was a little off, but I was still closer than finegan's prediction that he made, which was back in February he predicted it would happen.

Anyone that wants to see the times taken in an easy to read Calendar, you can view it here: REMOVED LINK.

I will try to update it on a daily basis.

Well, I'd say that it slowed down because folks started spending more time contributing to the LQ wiki. or better still, the new members joining in aleady knew their way around Linux.

Anyways, my guess is

June 29th 2004 between 3:00 AM and 4:00 AM

Reason for edit: Had forgotten to mention time. Had just posted a comment on trickykid's post.

Marble, just a heads up. Your guess must fall on the hour (ie. either 4-5PM or 5-6PM).

He can guess but he's exempt from the contest. It would be strange for him to present himself with a prize given by him..
