I just came from the forums page and according to the counter, there have been 499,967 posts in this forum. (This one makes 499,968, of course!)

So who will make #500,000? Will **handy** make it and cross over the 10,000 barrier at the same time?

Who will it be, who will it be…?

How can one tell? I see 950K+ posts in MPSIMS, that’s why I’m confused. I know this probably belongs in ATMB, but since the thread is already opened, I thought I’d ask here.

I posted a thread a couple of weeks ago (ignored by most) asking what the 1,000,000 poster to the MPSIMS board would win…dinner with Cecil, perhaps?
