Rules are simple ladies, guess the date, one guess, no edits. Closest to date wins.
in case of a tie the tie breaker(s) will be: in this order, guess the amount of PM's I have
as of that date. Guess the amount of PM's to my most prolific PM'r. as of that date.
1...............guess the date of when I make my 30,000 post
2...............guess the amount of PM's I've made
3...............guess the amount of the most Pm's to another board member.
That's it, good luck.
Oh, the prizes. 250.00 PP gift.
Anecdotes are welcomed with your guesses.
If you make a mistake, don't edit simply use your alt. which can be created at anytime.
Newcomers are welcomed.
From time to time I'll decipher the fine print for you as needed.
Wow we have a winner already!!! Fine print say's first person to edit wins 4th prize!!
Doesn't say what it is though, says it will be announced at a later date.
Besides being used as a tie breaker, closest guess to total amount of PM's wins 2nd prize, 100.00 PP gift.
Besides being used as a tie breaker the closest guess to total amount of Pm's to one person is also 100.00 PP gift.
(That person is not eligible for that prize, sorry.) Wouldn't want to be accused of fixing anything. ;-)

LOL at some of these guesses, April 11? Good God even I can't post 501 times in that short of time.
More fine print, ooops, never mind I misplaced my microscopic glasses...........
Lets keep them guesses coming, I run a clean honest game here. :-)
Contest entries must be in by Wednesday, March 28th, 2012. 6:00 PM EST
Prize money to be awarded at that time, what time? That time.
Oops not that time, but sometime. I will say around that time.

Contest is now closed.
Winner 4rd Place Lodi 50.00
Winner 3rd place Mike Vitco 100.00
Winner 2nd place GameusedHoop 100.00
Winner 1st place TBD no one guessed date, see above
I want to thank MLB for bringing this back up for me, 3 days ago the winners were notified. 2 have been paid.
I am awaiting a reply from the final winner, if he is bammed then the person with the closest guess would win.
Since no one guessed the correct date, the tiebreaker answers were used. It was important to give a good answer there.
Any whining see the fine print.

Steve, very generous contest. Thanks for the chance.

Great, us CPA's are usually disqualified from contests. Like we would use inside information or something.

Total PMs: 29999. You have a thing about keeping things synchronized.
Most PMs to one member: 300. You only have room for 100 people to write to and you've capped it at 300. Hence that magical 30000 number has widespread ramifications. If you go over that number the world may actually come to an end.
Now that I think about it...maybe you're saving #30000 for Dec 21st 2012.

3...............guess the amount of the most to another board member. 1732
For the sake of my observations not related to prizes I will guess that your most pm's to another board member is your good friend ( And everyones ) is Mike Stone193
Thank You for the contest Steve, a very generous one at that!
My guess is May 13th for the 30,000th post.
The number of PM's would be in the range of 13,532
The most PM's would be 1,267
Two people already beat me to May 13th so I will change it to May 19th.
