In the not to distant future someone on this forum will post number one million.
As the counter ticks down are you going to be in the queue, and if so will you post a new topic to remember, or just tag a message to a thread? Of course due to the 24 hour nature of the Café you may well be asleep when it happens! Any thoughts from the Café hierarchy about recognising the millionnaire? One million individual messages. The informative, the controversial, the inane, the funny, the self promoting, the LOL's, the rebukes, the reviews, the obituaries, the plaudits, the obscure, the annoying, the wise. Whatever your views on the Café, it will be a considerable achievement.

I predict a huge flurry of useless posts when we get close, because everyone wants to be the one who posts number 1,000,000.

Perhaps we will get to 999,992 and everyone will post useless garbage and we will get to 1,000,000 and then the moderators will delete the garbage posts, and we will go back down again, and the cycle will continue, so there will be many different millionth posters.... If you consider all the previously deleted posts and threads, we have already hit 1,000,000.....hmmmmm

Certainly impossible for an individual member to know if they posted the big one. Presumably only the software on the main server will be able to tell. I think you're right, guys. Within sight of the one million watch out for dozens of "I agree" or the ubiquitous "LOL".
It is fascinating how we become obsessed with certain numbers, particularly those with noughts at the end. 30, 40, 50, 60 etc are important birthdays. 100 is a much celebrated age, as well as being a major target in some sports ( a century in cricket, one hundred caps for your country ), then the thousands and the hysteria greeting the new millennium. And finally to the Café's one millionth post. Whether it's an inane reply or a one word comment I still think it would be nice for that post to be recognised.

But if somewhere around 999,995 those logged in decide to try for the big one, will you be able to tell, Steve, which one hit the jackpot, because the counter on the screen we can all see will suddenly jump beyond 1,000,000 when the screen refreshes.
I had a couple more thoughts on this. Ironic if post one million was a "Hello there" from a new arrival ( or an existing member re-logging under another name ) Can we expect some inter-speciality rivalry. The thought readers v the pasteboard specialists v the dove producers v the kids entertainers. All with their fingers poised on the Submit button. And the winner is ... Having started this thread, I do now have a curious obsession to see that counter tick over, so I'm hoping for a sensible hour GMT. Dear oh dear. This could be worse than waiting for the eclipse! I must seek professional help.

At roughly one thousand posts per day, I'm guessing the 28th July.

I just realized that he has the power to make his own post count 1,000,000. I think he should do that.
