Post Stats??

A very amusing thread....

February 11

[Skanky Burns]

Thats the strangest thing about this all.
Sure, these threads are pure spam. But it is interesting spam. I read those old threads every few times this comes up just for a few laughs, and will be following this thread until it drops again.

Hehe, but moderating this bunch makes you even more suspicious than me.

I bet you still don't believe Rasputin's (the one before Theben's on the list above - Gramphos won I think) was genuine.

What?

I guessed a date and the question where posted that date, and I had nothing to do with that it was posted so if someone tricked someone into asking someone did it on the wrong day for someone to win .

[Carolus Rex]

These are fast-growing threads!

I repeat my previous bet (if it's still available): February 13th, 2004.

Bloody Monk,

A for realising so fast that you "stepped into something"!

Don't worry, you won fair and square.

Btw if anyone digs up a 'lost' post stats thread on their travels please post the link here.

Am I the only one a little concerned that Ming got it almost dead right? Surely he could have used his mysterious powerZ to prompt the poster to post now? Perhaps through a creative use of the ban function until he was close enough to his time? Or perhaps he edited his original guess without leaving that little "Edited by xxxx" sticker on the post? Or maybe he is just fooling us all with those hypnotic eyes....

Anyways, Feb 16, if it's not taken.

Time is running out! If your name's not down then you can't play.

[DrSpike]

Thanks, that will make it easier for me to spot the winner in about 4 weeks, the next time the question is asked.

Actually it will be just a little over 9 weeks

[Skanky Burns]

4 weeks?!?
Now let me change my guess, quickly!

[rah]

Feb 25th for me.
Thanks for posting the list so I didn't have to track what was taken.

[duke o' york]

Well I've updated the list for rah, and will do so if anyone else wants to post their bets too. Unless anyone complains convincingly, I'll only do this tomorrow and then it should close. If you have guessed but your name hasn't gone onto the list then don't kick up a fuss unless the list has been updated since you made your post. However, this special offer only lasts for a day (or so), because we want this to drop off the front page, and the contest can then commence!

[Theben]

We should keep posting until say, oh, Feb. 10th.

[DrSpike]

Duke of York.........it usually stays active for longer than a couple of days, then drops peacefully off of the first page, when the thread will get closed. The only exception is when the thread attracts spam (whatever next ) and Ming closes it before the usual 7-10 day voting period.
