At this moment, we've made 29,590 posts... okay, 29,591 including this one... I reckon we'll hit 30,000 within 4 or 5 days...

Anyone care to guess the time and date of the 30,000th post?? :P

Now we have 29,936 posts including this one. Only 64 more to 30,000! We'll probably make it by tomorow.

Lol, this will be my 92 post 'today.' My posting 'today' started 6pm last night....and will end in about 10 minutes at 6pm today . These forums are great-better than any online community I've participated in before. Someone will probably get the 30,000th post before it is really tomorrow in my part the world-25 posts to go!

Okay, I'm bored at work and have hit Refresh for the past minute or so until someone made the 30,000th post...

...which has just happened... I don't know who it was... I suspect Deep_Eye LOL But whoever it was, congrats

Actually the post you call the 30000th post was more like 30400ish if you include the moderators only forum.
