Default Competition...

We should have a competition to see who can guess when the one-thousandth Canreef member will sign up, like RC did (except I think their's was the millionth member). The winner can buy a round at the next meet in their city (if the winner is from Manitoba, they have to get their nearest reefing relative drunk).

RC's contest was to guess the user id of the person who made the 1 millionth post I think, not the 1 millionth user. They only have 52,500 users.

Hello,

Great idea! I think what we can do is to award a prize of some sort if a member can correctly guess when we will have our 1000th member signed up. But then, how do we know the same member don't go and make sure someone signed up in the guessed date, or if there are multiple person guessing the same date.

Any how. Guess it won't work.

Titus

Actually Titus is right, kinda tough to do when we only have 1,000 members... would have been tougher on RC with their 1,000,000, err I mean 56,000 members.

What about the number of posts? Would that be difficult? Are we coming up on a milestone there?

I guess we'd have to make them quality posts and not those useless ones we usually do.

Lets set up a Pool and guess when Christy makes her 1300th post....Wow Wendel, that's a generous offer. I just used up a whole bucket setting up my tank.

999 + 28014 + 450 + 5904 + 4331 + 170 + 477 + 632 + 2002 + 6222 + 1322 + 8303 + 520 + 625 + 5453 + 393 = 65817

65,817 posts plus this one... coming up on 70,000, that's a pretty good number...
