My money’s on mid-August, but WTF do I know. Anyone out there who care to analyze the current posting rate and take a guess? I’d do it, but with the job, the kid, and the wife-with-child, I’ve got all the projects I can handle. ---

Hmm. A thread about when the board will reach 2 million posts that receives no posts and is started by the Crown Prince of **Irony**? Nah. Too easy. ---

It will hit two million posts a lot later than it would have if the board wasn’t so slow at times. ☹ ---

Give **Handy** some crack, it’ll hit 4 million before dusk. ---

If everyone posted like Flamsterette\_X, we’d be there by next week, tops. But then again, not everyone does. Darn. ---

Darn. \*\* Nah, not really… but get me, **handy** , **iampunha** , **Guinastasia** , and whoever else seems to post a lot on here all together! I’m sure we could pump it up and make it in the next couple of weeks, easy! 😃 ---

(hijack) Bah. Bah I say. Over at Keenspot, back in the good old days before the forums went mindless, Tchernobyl made despot (1000 posts) in 2 weeks IIRC. Skane managed it in less than a month. The fact that the large number of posts per day over here are, by and large, meaningful posts is \totally\ irrelevant. 🙂 After all. It’s not like well over half their posts were in nonsense contests or anything. :wally (/hijack) It shouldn’t take too long. There are a little over 33000 to go, and if about half of the registered posters make 2 posts per day, thats just over two weeks to reach two million. The real question is of course if there’s any way to check who got the two millionth post. 🙂 ---

I say[**JohnM**](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?postid=2000000#post2000000) should get the credit, otherwise you haveto keep the post count on the Message Board front page adjusted for the deleted posts. ---
