During the next 10 days, we're accepting predictions as to what day we'll hit one million posts!

As of the time I type this, 914World has 962,018 posts. That means we're 96.2% of the way to posting One Million Posts!

The winner will be the member who's prediction is closest to the actual date!

Post your prediction here in this thread! Be a math genius and do the calculations (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif) , or pick your birthday, or Rebecca De Mornay's birthday (damn she was hot back in the day (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) ) or whatever day you like... but pick one and post it to this thread!!

(One prediction per person. Because there's only one prize... only one member can claim a specific day!)

-Rusty

P.S. Vanna, will you please show them what fabulous prize is waiting for the Winner?

<drum roll please>

A matted and framed, vintage Porsche 914 advertisement "The Action Porsche"! (Sorry, it's a poor pic of the prize - it's really quite nice.)

March 21.

However, we need a rule that stipulates any post whoring in an effort to affect the date disqualifies the post whore. This rule needs to be effective from today forward. What do you think?

OK my rough calculations based on the top poster today )weekend( was an avaerage of 390 ish posts per day....well add that up and divide by the 42000 we need to hit a mil and I got 106.3675287541998992 days (roughly) well that would put us about march 11 th.

Well I also assume that there will be down days )weekdays( where the post count will be lower and all of a sudden I am in april (which is good as my Bday is in april) Sooooo that being said I will pick April 11th @ 8:30 am ECT for no good reason other thatn thats the day/time some many yrs ago that I started pullin air into my lung's

Realisticly I think it'll be sooner but I am stickin with my above date.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/birthday3.gif)

I'm going with my Bday, even though it seems a tad bit later than what has been guessed.
