Anyone care to take a stab as to the date and time it'll roll past 500 pages?

I'll take a stab at this - without perusing the archives to see how many pages we average a day - how about Tues, Nov. 1 at 135 pm CST? Of course, this thread will accelerate it now... [;)]

Monday, Nov. 7, 8:23 AM.

The big question - who will be the person posting at the top of the 500th page?

I'll go with Tuesday, Nov. 8 at 10:17 AM. That is, assuming we don't have another invasion of trolls before then!

Ah yes, the 10,000 post mark. I remember it well on the coffee shop over on the MR forum. That one just passed 750 pages, but considering the size of the two audiences, this one has been perhaps even more successful. Beside, this is the original. This whole concept was really Frank's idea, I just suggested that he tweak it a little and make one permenant topic, and look at what we all have created.

We had a pool over on the MR one too for the 10,000th post. I'll put in my guess later.[;)]

Well, I could cut and paste the Constitution of the United States and then the Bill of Rights and we would get it over with right quick. [}:)][;)] If we added on the pages on The Gauge while we were "down" and the earlier posts when I was doing one seperate post per day, we're past it. The person that gets it or is the closest gets a Buckeye Big Brownie Button. [;)][sigh] Consulation prise will be an honorary membership to Chuck Mathews' TOOTS Club. [:O][(-D][(-D] Now I could go out of town and we could have one of Buckeye's dissertations on how much he loves the South and Roseyville and that would take up two pages. [V] We'll see.
